With the addition of the Grand Mistral to the Costa fleet later this fall, the cruise line is rumored to be gearing up to launch a new sub-product. Once the Grand Mistral joins the Costa fleet, she will be renamed Costa neoRiviera.
The rumor was originally reported by Cruise Industry News, Costa will begin focusing on bringingĀ longer port calls, more overnights, and new destinations that are already being pushed as āunusual” to Costa’s smaller ship fleet.
Focusing on the line’s smaller ships will be a new market for the Italian cruise line, who is also currently building the largest Italian flagged cruise ship in the world.
