Costa Toscana Arabian Gulf Itinerary Changes Due to World Cup in Qatar

[Wansbrough]

Our Christmas Day in Qatar is now a sea day. Ah well, I guess it wasn't to be. Overnight in Muscat might be interesting   Dear Partner,   We are looking forward to welcoming our mutual customers on board Costa Toscana, our wonderful flagship. The embarkation date of their cruise holiday in the Arabian Gulf is approaching!   We are thrilled to have them on board our ship, and we are ready to host them with our genuine hospitality and services. While doing this, our priority as always remains to guarantee all our guests a peaceful, safe, and relaxing holiday experience.   As part of our ongoing monitoring activity of all the destinations included in our cruise Itinerary, we have received information from the relevant local Qatari authorities that the country's closure to all inbound and outbound cruises as imposed in conjunction to the World Cup 2022 (which will be disputed from November 20 to December 18) is being extended beyond the period of the Event, at least until 15th January.  Moreover, to date, there is no certainty that this closure may not then be extended for a further period and until a later date.   Within this context and considering the situation which is out of our control, in order to guarantee an equally valuable cruising experience, the Company has decided to slightly modify the itinerary of Costa Toscana cruises in the Arabian Gulf as follows:

 

 

Even though it necessarily varies from what we had originally designed, we are certain that with the updated itinerary, this cruise will allow our guests to explore the strong contrasts typical of these destinations, between the silent gardens of the mosques and the tallest skyscrapers in the world, discovering ancient art, spicy flavours, and the magic of the desert, all within easy reach.    An unforgettable cruise requires an unforgettable ship and Costa Toscana will amaze our guests with its large open spaces to experience the sun and the sea, Italian and international cuisine, designer stores, and above all, lot of entertainment for everyone!   And as soon as they are on board they can see it with their own eyes.   Thank you very much for your understanding and attention.
