Celestyal Cruises, the Cyprus based cruise operator, said it has acquired the 1993 built Costa NeoRomantica from Costa Crociere, the Italian unit in the carnival Corporation & plc group.
The ship that was extensively refitted in 2012 can accommodate 1,800 passengers in 789 cabins, of which 132 have private balconies.
Itineraries of the ship would be published later, the company said in a statement.
The sale is part of Carnival group’s disposal programme that will comprise 13 ships. Earlier today, two Holland America Line ships were reported as sold to Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines.
