Smeralda Genoa to Dubai - December 2024 - I hope it goes ahead

I see other cruise lines are cancelling or rescheduling their cruises that pass through the Middle East due to tensions there. We are hoping this all settles and our cruise proceeds. If Costa were to redirect the cruise around South Africa we would also jump at this opportunity.

Fingers crossed - we are on the reverse in March.  I heard NCL is dead-heading their ship to Dubai in the fall - as the middle east market is very popular.  We are eagerly watching ur sailing.   They are selling it still.  Fingers crossed

Just tried to book the return in March 2025; All the cabins showing as sold out, which sounds like they haven't cancelled but are planning to deadhead back. I'll take another look in October.

I'd be interested in a reroute around the Cape of Good Hope if they offered it at a reasonable price.

Yes we too would take the re route around Cape of Good Hope if it was offered
