Costa Crociere replaces the Costa Allegra ship with Costa Voyager
From on 18 March on 1° July the ship it will carry out a series of routes in the Mediterranean and the Europe North
March 6, 2012
Costa Crociere will employ the Costa Voyager cruise ship in substitution of Costa Allegra, the unit that last week has quickly a damage while it was in navigation in the Indian Ocean and is towed for three days until Mahé (Seychelles) where the passengers are disembarked.
Costa Voyager, that he has a tonnage of 24.400 tons and can accommodate 927 passengers, will originally carry out the previewed routes for Costa Allegra: from on 18 March on 1° July next a series of routes of varied duration in the Mediterranean and the Europe North dedicated to the passengers of the French market; on 13 July a cruise of nine days from Amsterdam to Savona; from on 23 July on 20 August cruises of a week in the Mediterranean with ports of call to Barcelona, Villefranche, Livorno, Capri, Malta, Cagliari, Minorca; from on 28 August cruises of varied duration in the Mediterranean always for the French market. Costa Voyager, commissioning in 2000, has been subordinate to participations of renewal in November 2011.
While the crocieristica company has announced that the technical verifications and appraisals are on in order to on board discover the causes of the exploded fire of Costa Allegra on 27 February and that at the moment it is not possible to assume a quantification of the necessary time to the repair and the consequent restoration of the ship and the programmed cruises. Therefore the route in the Red Sea will momentarily be suspended "Corals and Ancients treasures" with Costa Voyager and the passengers who have reserved this route will come therefore riprotetti on equivalent cruises. In alternative the possibility is given to cancel without penitentiaries and with reimbursement total and, in addition, to benefit of a bond of the value of 30% of the paid price to use itself for the purchase of a future cruise.
