Costa Cruises has revealed the inaugural cruises for Costa Diadema, the fleet’s future flagship which will be delivered by Fincantieri on October 30th 2014. The first cruise departing on November 1st will be the vernissage cruise, with three new culturally rich and architecturally beautiful cities included in the itinerary.

Cruise lines are being invited to begin “formal talks” with government over the development of new berthing facilities in George Town harbor. Companies are being approached in their role as the key users of the new docks rather than as potential business partners in building the facility.

Fred Olsen is offering guests the chance to commemorate the Canal’s centenary year in style with its 31-night L140141 ‘The Americas & Caribbean’ fly-cruise ex London Gatwick on 19th March 2014, into San Diego, USA.

Effective with Crystal Serenity’s Sept. 19 New England/Canada sailing and Crystal Symphony’s Oct. 15 Panama Canal cruise, each Crystal Society guest will receive 60 minutes of complimentary internet access for every day of the cruise.
