Costa Cruises has announced the Costa neoRomantica will be based in Asia.

She will be deployed regularly in the region and operated by the Costa Asia brand, offering cruises designed for local guests.

The deployment of Costa neoRomantica comes as part of Costa Asia’s continuing investment strategy in the region and represents the company’s commitment to its valued markets in Asia.

The company has consistently increased its capacity across the region in recent years, with Costa Victoria’s deployment in Asia in 2012, followed by Costa Atlantica (2013), Costa Serena (2015), and Costa Fortuna, demonstrating great confidence in the market by adding ships each year since 2015.

“The deployment of the fifth Costa ship in Asia, will reinforce our leading position in Asia and allow us to continue significantly grow the Asian cruise market in the next decade, and further boost Asia market to become one of the most prominent markets in the world.” said Costa Group Asia president Buhdy Bok.

Being the gem of the Costa fleet, Costa neoRomantica comes from the neoCollection cruises.

The interior design stands out for its contemporary style and was completed by a combination of work by Tillberg Design, a Swedish architectural firm, and Syntax, the London based company specializing in prestigious hotels and spas.

With her welcoming atmosphere, exceptional amenities, and an even more thoughtful, attentive service, she is a proper elegant hotel on the waves.

With over 900 million Hong Kong Dollars, the innovatively restyled Costa neoRomantica continues bringing Asian passengers the flavour of Italy at Sea.
