Cruise season starts: Costa brings country power to Hamburg and Kiel!
Hamburg, Deutschland - Costa cruises return to the German ports with the ship flags Costa Favolosa and Costa Diadema. From May 15, 2025, the Costa Favolosa can be seen in the port of Hamburg, where it will be entering country power for the first time this season. This measure is part of the company's efforts to reduce the environmental impact during operation.
The Costa Favolosa is now starting the summer season after it was successfully connected to the Hamburg rural power network in September 2024. This enables the ship to lie in the port free of emission, which is a significant step towards sustainable cruises. According to Costa cruises, the goal of net zero emissions in ship operations should be achieved by 2050.
diverse travel routes and culinary experiences
The Costa Favolosa offers a variety of trips to Northern Europe by September 2025, which extend over eight to 23 days. The goals include England, Scotland, Norway, Iceland, the Shetland Islands, Lofoten, the North Cape, Greenland and Spitzbergen. Travelers can look forward to long lying times of over nine hours that enable them to explore the goals in more detail.
The delicacies are not neglected either: the specialties typical of the country are served on board, for example reindeer burger from Greenland and stock fishing salad from the Lofoten. These dishes are designed by the Italian celebrity chef Bruno Barbieri and promise an unmistakable culinary experience.
Kiel becomes the port for the Costa Diadema
The Costa Diadema will create every Friday in the Kiel Ostuferhafen from May 16, 2025. From there it starts on eight -day cruises via Denmark to the Norwegian fjords. The Costa Diadema also moved into Kiel Landstrom in 2024, which designed the on -board operation during the laying times.
The international ports in the Costa Diadema timetable include Ålesund and Kristiansand, which also have a land power supply. These measures are part of the new concept "Sea Destinations", which should enable extraordinary experiences in iconic places along the ship route.
Olaf Kistenmacher, Director Sales at Costa cruises in Germany, emphasizes the importance of the country power supply and the progress in the direction of a more environmentally friendly cruise operation. Together with the Costa Favolosa, Costa also plans to offer cruises from Kiel and Hamburg.
In summary, it can be said that the return of the Costa Favolosa and Costa Diadema in the German ports is not only a festival for cruise lovers, but also represents an important step towards sustainability. With his commitment, Costa cruises shows that enjoyment and environmental protection can go hand in hand.Further information about the cruises can be found on Crucero magazin and in the press release .
