Before being positioned in Asia, Costa Classica will complete its Mediterranean season on November 30, 2008, setting sail from Savona, Italy, for the United Arab Emirates, where the ship will operate 11 seven-day cruises from Dubai. It will then depart for Singapore on a 19-day positioning cruise.

You will be able to sail on Costa Classica from March 27 through to November 7, 2009 on 33 cruises lasting between four and 14 days, with departures out of Singapore, Shanghai, Tianjin and Hong Kong.

The 1,000-passenger Costa Allegra will offer 30 cruises from November 2008 through November 2009, some of which will be 14-day cruises, with departures from Hong Kong and Singapore.
