Costa Cruises announced changes to its schedule for the winter 2025-2026 season, canceling its cruise program in the Middle East region.
Due to the "unstable situation in the region," as stated in the company's statement, the Costa Toscana liner will not operate flights in the Middle East, but will remain in the Mediterranean, offering week-long and longer cruises to Southern Europe and North Africa.
There will also be no redeployment cruises to Dubai in the fall of 2025 and in the return direction in the spring of 2026. All passengers who have already booked these canceled sailings will be notified directly, the company said.

Costa Toscana will continue to operate scheduled seven-day Western Mediterranean cruises until November 13. This will be followed by a seven-day cruise from Savona to Santa Cruz de Tenerife on November 13, as planned.
New routes for the rest of the winter will soon be available for booking, the company added.
