Costa this summer

by **Deb1** on Wed Apr 02, 2008 12:18 pm

Am thinking about doing a Costa Cruise this summer as they seem to have soem great prices. Not sure whether to book cruise only & do my own flights or to just take a package. Everyone seems to offer different deals - any suggestions on how best to do it or to book thru?

Debs,

I hate this new Costa 'cruise only' pricing.

It is acually better to book Cruise and Fly if you are not a seasoned traveler.
Why?
Add on your flight, take a look at the coach transfer cost from Genoa to Savona which I believe was �28 one way. then get a quote from your local travel agent, then try 1st4cruising or Gills.

Recent offers include Europa, Romantica, and the Classica round the Med fot 7+ days from �619 fly/cruise.

Costa's site gives you all the information and extra costs.

Thanks for this Tenpin. I'll give 1st4cruising call later, have tried Gills but without much success, and also had a quote from cruise.co.uk. Just need to decide what to do now
