Costa Cruises and Central Holidays report a new partnership to develop a new vacation packages brand: Costa Cruise Tours. The new alliance features Central Holidays as the operator of Costa Cruise Tours packages that include air, land and Costa Cruises’ cruise arrangements to destinations throughout Europe departing from the following ports of call: Civitavecchia, Savona, Marseille and Barcelona.
“Our shared goal in Costa Cruise Tours is to create the go-to option for European cruise and land packages," said Gianni Miradoli, CEO of Central Holidays.
"Costa Cruises guests are sophisticated and discerning travelers, and we knew we needed to find a partner that could provide a superior landside experience to match our shipboard product," said Scott Knutson, vice president sales and marketing for Costa Cruises North America.
Costa Cruise Tours can be booked for the 2015 travel season via Central Holidays by calling 800.720.3009. The new brand will be launching a website in December that will feature its vacation packages for booking online at www.costacruisetours.com.
