The Costa Group has announced that starting from winter season 2013/14 the Grand Mistral, a 1727-guest ship of the Ibero Cruises fleet, will be dedicated to a new project for the Costa Cruises brand. This product will offer a new travel experience on board medium-sized ships, focused on comfort, quality and exclusive itineraries. Therefore, the Grand Mistral, originally positioned to South America for winter 2013/2014, will remain in Europe for the new Costa project. Re- protection conditions for Guests who already booked a cruise on Grand Mistral in South America have been defined and are being announced to Guests and Travel Agencies by local Costa Group offices.
South America remains a very well established market for Costa Group. The company has been operating in the region for 65 years and its commitment will remain strong also in the next years. As a matter of fact, in the upcoming winter season Costa will deploy in the area the most advanced ships of the fleet, flagships Costa Favolosa and Costa Fascinosa, together with the Grand Celebration from Ibero Cruises, in order to continue to deliver to local Guests the best cruise experience available.
