Costa Cruises has announced the further suspension of its cruise operations until June 30, 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

As the global emergency situation continues, and containment measures such as closing ports and restrictions on the movement of people prevent the company from operating, Costa Cruises has extended its suspension through May.

Costa is taking steps to advise both travel agents and guests affected by the changes, who will receive a voucher equivalent to what the company has collected, as a form of greater guarantee for travelers.
