COSTA CRUISES AND SAVONA

Costa Cruises began calling at Savona in November 1996 with the arrival of the Costa Riviera, the first Italian cruise ship to dock there. The alliance between Costa Cruises and the town has flourished ever since.
One of the key stepping stones was the inauguration of the Palacrociere cruises terminal, which Costa co-financed with an approximately 3.6 million euro investment, opened on November 24, 2003, managed directly by the company.
On November 8, 2014, on the occasion of the first call of the new flagship Costa Diadema, the second terminal of Palacrociere, built with a total investment by Costa Cruises of around 9 million euro, started operating officially. At the end of 2015 the Municipality of Savona, the Port Authority and Costa Cruises signed a three-year memorandum of understanding for sustainable development of the cruise sector in town. Savona is now the main home port of the company, with a total traffic of approximately 1 million passengers per year.
