Costa Magica to Sail Mediterranean Itineraries from Barcelona

Costa Cruises’ Costa Magica will sail from Barcelona, Spain, from March through November 2008. The Italian cruise line said the Magica will offer seven-day trips departing Barcelona from the cruise line’s new Palacrociere terminal, which opened in April.

Itineraries will call in Marseille, France; Naples, Palermo and Savona, Italy; Palma de Majorca, Spain; and Tunis, Tunisia. Costa said the sailings would operate from Friday to Friday to allow guests the opportunity to arrange pre- and post- stays in Barcelona.

The Costa Magica is currently sailing out of Copenhagen, Denmark on Northern Europe itineraries, and will sail from Savona to ports in Spain and Portugal in the fall and South America in the winter.
