COSTA RESUMES ITS CRUISE PROGRAM IN ITALY FROM MARCH 13 WITH COSTA SMERALDA

Genoa, 22 January 2021 - Following a careful evaluation of the measures contained in the Italian
government decree currently in force in Italy, Costa Cruises has decided to postpone the restart of
its ships to March 13, 2021.

The company believes that the current set of restrictive measures does not allow its guests to enjoy
an adequate on-shore experience and the ability to fully explore the itinerary’s destinations.
Costa Cruises supports the collective effort that Italy is making to deal with the health emergency
and looks forward to mid-March for its return to offering its guests a relaxing and enjoyable vacation
experience.
