Costa Cruises
Santo Domingo as a new embarkation option for the ship’s Caribbean itineraries in the 2025-2026 season.

Costa Cruises is celebrating the end of summer with a “Labor Day Sale” featuring a free balcony cabin upgrade offer on select itineraries. Guests can elevate their experience and enjoy a balcony cabin for the price of an ocean view on select Mediterranean and Caribbean cruises departing from September 2025 through February 2026. Cruises must be booked by Sept. 1, 2025, to take advantage of this special offer.

Guests can experience Costa’s signature Italian-style of cruising on itineraries that span sun-soaked islands, historic cities and iconic sights, with the added bonus of balcony views for the price of an ocean view. Featured ships in the promotion include flagships Costa Toscana and Costa Smeralda, as well as Costa Deliziosa, Costa Diadema, Costa Fascinosa, Costa Favolosa, Costa Fortuna and Costa Pacifica.

“Costa’s Labor Day Sale delivers exceptional value, offering the upgrade of a balcony cabin so guests can enjoy the beautiful landscapes of places like Marseille and Antigua from the comfort of their stateroom,” said Priscilla Reyes, head of sales for Costa Cruises North America. “The Mediterranean and Caribbean are fantastic off-season destinations offering ideal temperatures and less crowds, making now the perfect time to book with Costa and take advantage of these savings.”

Costa’s “Labor Day Sale” is available on more than 100 sailings. Featured cruises include:

  • Costa Smeralda will explore the western Mediterranean, departing roundtrip from Marseille, France, or Barcelona, Spain, visiting Cagliari, Naples, Civitavecchia (Rome) and Genoa, Italy. Example departures include the Sept. 7, 2025, cruise embarking in Barcelona or the Nov. 15, 2025, cruise embarking in Marseille.
  • Costa Toscana will sail roundtrip from Civitavecchia (Rome) or Savona, and visit Marseille; Barcelona; Palermo, Italy; and Palma and Ibiza, Spain. For example, the Sept. 6, 2025, Oct 11, 2025, and Oct. 26, 2025 cruises.
  • In the Caribbean, Costa Pacifica will sail roundtrip from La Romana, Dominican Republic, and visit Catalina Island, Samana, Amber Cove, Cabo Rojo in the Dominican Republic; and Grand Turk, Turks and Caicos. For example, the Dec. 28, 2025, Jan. 11, 2026, and Feb. 8, 2026 cruises.

Costa’s immersive “Sea & Land Destinations” enhance every itinerary with shipboard celebrations and curated shore excursions that bring each destination along the ship's route to life. Featured “Sea Destinations” on Caribbean cruises include lively onboard parties during calls at Turks and Caicos or Catalina Island, each blending island energy with music, dancing and tropical cocktails. On Mediterranean sailings, experiences include stargazing during the Sea of Stars event in the Balearic Sea and a captivating light show with the Pelagos Sanctuary that brings the underwater world to life.
