    Costa neoRiviera

    You can experience a new way of traveling when you take a Costa neoRiviera cruise. Costa neoRiviera is a ship that escorts travelers to more intimate locals than the average ocean liner. She’s able to do this because she’s smaller than your average ship, which means she can get into tighter areas. But, small doesn’t mean lacking in services. Costa neoRiviera is a luxury vessel that offers some of the most memorable vacations one can have.

    If you feel like escaping to someplace remote or exotic, for an extended period of time, consider a cruise on Costa neoRiviera.

    The Ship

    Costa neoRiviera is a charming, seductive, and spacious cruise ship that perfectly combines the best of elegance and leisure. There’s a dress code you’ll have to adhere to on this vessel, which means you shouldn’t expect to be able to roam around in your swimsuit in the dining rooms or shopping esplanades. But, there are plenty of places for relaxing in casual attire, such as on the ship’s decks and in the spa. Costa neoRiviera is a refined ship, but it’s not stuffy.

    The Itineraries

    Costa neoRiviera makes long stopovers in beautiful locales, so that passengers can experience unusual destinations to their fullest and vacation peacefully for weeks on end. You’ll stay clear of the usual crowded places and routes on this ship, and you’ll sail to enchanting destinations like Dubai, Muscat, Abu Dhabi, and Oman. Imagine spending a day at the beach on the private Al Maya Island Resort, and then staying overnight in a Bedouin tented camp if you like. This, and more, is possible on many Costa neoRiviera cruises.

    Dining, Bars, and Clubs

    When you sail on Costa neoRiviera, you have three restaurants to choose from, including a buffet grill and a pizzeria. For nightlife, many passengers like to visit Costa neoRiviera’s six bars that offer lively spaces for dancing and quiet settings for late-evening cocktails.

    Activities

    If you want to soak in the sun, be active, or just get outside to admire the beauty around you, visit Costa neoRiviera’s decks. On the decks, there are pools to cool off, chaise lounges for relaxing, Jacuzzi’s to warm up, and even little pools for mini cruisers to splash about. Inside of Costa neoRiviers is where you’ll find fun things to do like gambling in a casino, watching theatrical performances, getting hydrotherapy treatments, and shopping.
