Costa Cruises has announced its enhanced Winter 2026/2027 cruise program, featuring new itineraries across the Canary Islands, Madeira, and the Western Mediterranean—three of the most popular winter cruise destinations in Europe.

Thanks to their warm climate, scenic landscapes, and cultural richness, the Canary Islands and Madeira continue to attract cruise travelers seeking sun-filled winter escapes. In response to growing demand, Costa is increasing its presence in the region with upgraded itineraries and greater capacity.

New Canary Islands & Madeira Cruises on Costa Smeralda

The flagship Costa Smeralda will operate a brand-new 7-day cruise itinerary across the Canary Islands and Madeira. This new deployment offers travelers more availability and an elevated onboard experience, making it an ideal choice for winter cruising in the Atlantic.

Western Mediterranean & North Africa Itineraries on Costa Pacifica

Following a scheduled refurbishment, Costa Pacifica will sail in the Western Mediterranean, offering a combination of 7-day cruises and longer voyages. These itineraries include destinations in Southern Europe and North Africa, providing unique cultural experiences that are especially popular during the winter months.

Flexible Options and Updated Cruise Plans

Due to ongoing uncertainty in the Middle East, Costa Cruises will not operate itineraries in the region for Winter 2026/2027. Instead, the company is focusing on delivering safe, आरामदायक, and worry-free cruise experiences in Europe and nearby regions.

Guests affected by itinerary changes, including cancelled Emirates cruises, will benefit from flexible rebooking options and onboard credit incentives. Travellers booked on previous Canary Islands sailings with Costa Pacifica will be accommodated on the updated Costa Smeralda itineraries.

Book Winter 2026/2027 Costa Cruises

Bookings for the new Costa Cruises Winter 2026/2027 itineraries will be available by the end of March across all official booking channels. Travellers are encouraged to book early to secure the best cabins and itineraries for winter sun destinations.

Costa Cruises continues to deliver unforgettable cruise holidays with a focus on comfort, discovery, and exceptional service.
