Costa Cruises is hoping their new pricing structure will be easier for their guests to book a cruise. The new program is designed to offer a range of budget options for guests by breaking the pricing into four categories.
Costa Cruises New Pricing Structure
The new pricing structure highlights four core components; greater transparency to choose all-inclusive packages, reward early bookings, more attention to families and the option to choose among luxury, all-inclusive
and base packages.
Scott Knutson, vice president of sales and marketing for Costa Cruises North America said:
“Costa is an innovator in the cruise industry, and our new price system is another example of how we listen to our guests and improve our offerings based on their needs and feedback,”
“With the variety in our new rate levels, Costa provides standard packages for those who are budget conscious, as well as rates for those who’d like to treat themselves to some
extra privileges.”
