Two Costa Cruises vessels recently underwent routine drydocks ahead of their winter season in Europe.

Sailing year-round in the Western Mediterranean, the Costa Smeralda was the first to visit a shipyard for routine maintenance.

The LNG-powered vessel arrived at the Chantier Naval de Marseille for its drydock in France in late November.

In a recent social media update, Costa celebrated the completion of the work onboard the ship, which originally debuted in 2019.

“(It represented) a pivotal milestone for our ship and for everyone who contributed to this major project,” the company stated.

“This achievement was possible thanks to the extraordinary collaboration between the shipyard and our Costa team, working side by side to ensure success,” Costa continued.

The company also thanked Captain Giovanni Cosini and all involved in the project for their “passion, dedication and commitment.”

After welcoming guests back in mid-December, the Costa Smeralda is offering a series of seven-night winter cruises in the Western Mediterranean.

The ship’s regular itinerary features visits to destinations in France, Spain, Italy and Tunisia, such as Marseille, Barcelona and Palermo.

The Costa Fortuna also underwent routine work at the Chantier Naval de Marseille between late November and early December.

Set to leave the company’s fleet next year, the 2003-built ship underwent technical maintenance, in addition to class inspections and general upkeep work.

The Costa Fortuna is now set to offer itineraries in the Canary Islands and Madeira before a farewell season in the Eastern Mediterranean in 2026.

Before entering service for Margaritaville at Sea as the Beachcomber, the vessel is scheduled to return to a shipyard in Europe for a major refurbishment.

With refreshed public areas and new interiors, the former Costa Fortuna is set to offer cruises to the Caribbean and the Bahamas starting in early 2027.
