| Costa sells neoClassica

COSTA Cruises has confirmed Costa neoClassica, one of its longest-serving ships, will leave the fleet after it concludes its schedule of cruises between India and the Maldives on 10 Mar.

Costa neoRiviera will replace Costa neoClassica from Jun, offering one-week Greek Island sailings homeporting from Bari.

The cruise line said it would “protect” guests already booked on the vessels.

Meanwhile, Costa Victoria, which has been operating mainly in China since 2012, will return to regular Med cruises in the northern summer next year.

Costa is awaiting arrival of four new ships, starting from 2019.
