Costa Cruises recently published its deployment for the summer of 2027, which includes the return of the Costa Serena to Europe after over a decade in Asia.

The 2007-built vessel will arrive back in the Mediterranean following a previously announced winter season in South America.

The ship is scheduled to embark on a trans-Atlantic crossing in late April, arriving at Costa’s Palacrociere Cruise Terminal in Savona, Italy.

Initially sailing in the Western Mediterranean, the Costa Serena will depart from the port for a 12-night cruise to Spain, Portugal, France, Morocco and Italy.

The short spring schedule then includes a 14-night cruise to the Eastern Mediterranean that also sails roundtrip from Savona.

The two-week cruise features destinations across Southern Europe, visiting the Greek Isles and Malta, as well as France, Spain and Italy.

In late May, the 3,000-passenger ship offers a new repositioning voyage ahead of kicking off its first summer season in Europe in a decade.

Sailing from Italy, Greece and Malta, the ship offers a series of cruises that visit six destinations in seven days.

Replacing the Costa Fascinosa, which offers similar itineraries in 2026, the vessel will depart from Taranto, Catania, Piraeus and Valletta.

In addition to its homeports, the Serena is also scheduled to make regular visits to the islands of Mykonos and Argostoli.

The itinerary will be offered through early September, when the Costa Serena returns to the Western Mediterranean for short cruises to Italy, Spain and France.

Before returning to Europe, the ship is also scheduled to offer its first winter season in South America in nearly 15 years.

Following a world cruise that departs from Tokyo, the 112,000-ton vessel arrives in the region in late December 2026.

Sailing from Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro and Montevideo, the ship offers a series of three- to nine-night cruises to Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay through April 2027.
