In the wake of an engine room fire that crippled Costa Allegra and sidelined the ship indefinitely as it undergoes repairs, Costa Cruises has announced that it will be redeploying the Red Sea-based Costa Voyager to cover for the out-of-service vessel.
Beginning March 18 and continuing through at least November, the 832-passenger Costa Voyager, which was acquired in November 2011 from Spain-based sister line Iberocruceros, will take over the 792-passenger Allegra's Europe travel ferry new zealand itineraries. Voyager's Red Sea itineraries will be suspended temporarily. ( Costa Allegra was sailing a 28-day repositioning cruise between Madagascar and Savona when the fire broke out; the cruise was scheduled to end on March 18.)
For passengers booked on Costa Allegra Costa Voyager will sail the following Allegra itineraries: Mediterranean and Northern Europe cruises, March 18 - July 1; a nine-night cruise from Amsterdam to Savona, July 13; weeklong Mediterranean travel ferry new zealand cruises, July 23 - Aug. 20; cruises of various lengths travel ferry new zealand in the Mediterranean, from Aug. 28.
For passengers booked on Costa Voyager Costa Voyager will not sail its "Corals and Ancient Treasures" Red Sea itinerary for at least the remainder of Costa's fiscal year (through November). Passengers booked on these cruises will be switched to an equivalent cruise and have their fares protected.
Alternatives include seven-night travel ferry new zealand Middle East cruises on Costa Favolosa ; seven-night Caribbean cruises on Costa Luminosa ; and seven-night travel ferry new zealand Eastern or Western Mediterranean itineraries on Costa Atlantica , Costa Classica , Costa Fascinosa , Costa Favolosa, Costa Magica , Costa Romantica or Costa Serena .
