There were short cruises to various destinations in Japan, including Okinawa, Kagoshima, Miyako, and the Yaeyama Islands.<\/p>\n<p class=\"pb-2\">A Costa Atlantica repositioning to Southern China and additional four- and five-night cruises to Japanese ports were announced in September.<\/p>\n<p class=\"pb-2\">In early 2022, Costa Atlantica was acquired from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cruisebooking.com\/cruise-lines\/costa-cruises\">Costa Cruises<\/a> and laid up in various parts of the Mediterranean.<\/p>\n<p class=\"pb-2\">Drydocking was completed in March on the 2000-built cruise ship.<\/p>\n<p class=\"pb-2\">Costa Cruises will continue to use the ship&#8217;s original name and colors under the Costa branding, according to CSSC Carnival&#8217;s website.<\/p>\n<p class=\"pb-2\">The company said that as a cruise ship designed to mimic Carnival&#8217;s Spirit class of boats, the Atlantica offers a European experience.<\/p>\n<p class=\"pb-2\">In addition to Italian style, the 86,000-ton ship has public areas similar to those in classic movies like La Dolce Vita, CSSC Carnival said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"pb-2\">As well as a Venice Carnival party, you can enjoy other themed games, classes, and contests onboard, all inspired by Italy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"pb-2\">CSSC Carnival is the result of a joint venture between Carnival Corporation and China State Shipbuilding Company.<\/p>\n<p class=\"pb-2\">Costa Atlantica is not the company&#8217;s only acquisition. It also acquired Costa Mediterranea, and two large cruise ships are under construction in China.<\/p>\n<p class=\"pb-2\">Five thousand guests will be accommodated on board each ship, scheduled to debut in 2023 and 2025.<\/p>\n<p class=\"pb-2\">In the long term, the brand aims to create a memorable cruise experience for Chinese tourists by combining an international perspective with local tastes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a statement, CSSC-Carnival Cruises stated that it is currently working on updating its deployment plan for its service out of China and will announce it soon.
