How delicious is this? At a press conference to be held at World Travel Market in London later today, Costa Cruises will announce that their newest ship, Costa Deliziosa, will be named at a ceremony in Dubai on February 23.
The naming ceremony will take place during the ship’s inaugural cruise which leaves Savona, in Italy, on February 5. Deliziosa will be in Dubai from February 23 to 26 and passengers on the first leg of the maiden cruise will be able to attend the christening ceremony.
The Costa Deliziosa, carrying up to 2,826 passengers is currently being fitted out at Fincantieri’s Marghera shipyard near Venice and will be delivered on January 29. She will become the 15th ship in the Costa fleet, which is already the biggest in Europe.
Costa has pioneered cruises in the Gulf, and Deliziosa, sister ship Costa Luminosa, and Costa Europa will sail a total of 32 cruises in the region next year, bringing 140,000 passengers to Dubai.
