The restart of the crocieristici landings place to from Liguria port is realized with a ship of dimensions reduced as Costa Classica, but by the end of the 2013 more and more great and modern units until arriving to winter 2014-15 are previewed when Costa Diadema arrives, the new flagship of the company.

Two enormous drop curtains of 30 meters everyone, always characterized by great photos of the more famous resorts, are placed in proximity of the terminal, where the gazeboes dedicated to the distribution of the advertising and informative material for the direct crocieristi are arranged also in the city.

"Today - Forcieri has declared - the words of order for all - institutions, associations, shopkeepers - I am new opportunity, great, but also constancy and determination in order to pick all the positive fallen back ones of the new business. The same words that have guided to us from when we have characterized the possibility of I approach temporary on the new dock of the Garibaldi Pier. Without a dock - it has found the president of the Harbour Authority - the crocieristico field did not evolve, indeed, it risked to retreat until to disappear. From here the decision to proceed in the undertaken direction, to pick the many requests that were turned us. Then, during a inspection in wide Fiorillo I have looked the building of former customs, closed for a long time, and have imagined there the new, small terminal for the boarding operations. The crocieristiche companies have answered with enthusiasm and from there the acceleration that has allowed us to collect all the series of ships that will berth to, confirming that the culture of the diversity, also in harbour within, can be persecuted. We are only at the beginning, much job is still from making, we must continue on this road, we must pass from the temporary one to the definitive solutions. While we must adequately receive ships, passengers and crews, because the choice to scale our Gulf is confirmed and widened".
