Costa Cruises will once again be in Sanremo, during Italy’s most electrifying music week, this year with an unmissable music-themed cruise-event.
From 8 to 16 February, Costa Cruises’s Music Cruise 2025 will take place, an extraordinary cruise entirely dedicated to music and the world’s most famous festivals, which will pass through the most iconic locations in the Mediterranean, offering a unique experience on board the Costa Toscana, the fleet’s flagship.
With an innovative concept, each day of the cruise will be dedicated to a different music festival, celebrating different genres and styles through live performances, interactive activities, workshops, sparkling aperitifs and unforgettable parties with international guests, all with a musical theme. New features this year include Radio Deejay’s ‘Deejay Time’ for the opening night and the highly anticipated return of Gigi D’Agostino with an exclusive Valentine’s Day party.
The cruise will start on Saturday 8 February from Savona, and as the ship heads towards Sanremo, the Warm-up Sound Party will ignite the underground atmosphere with the vibes of indie rock and alternative pop, creating an urban and modern mood.
The arrival in the Bay of Sanremo, on Sunday 9 February morning, will give guests the opportunity to immerse themselves in the festive atmosphere of the city of flowers, exploring the picturesque villages of the Riviera and the charming old town centre of Sanremo, in the unique atmosphere of the most important week for Italian music.
Upon returning to the ship, the musical journey will officially kick off with the Grand Opening ‘Waves of Music’, the exclusive Sea Destination conceived for this cruise, an extraordinary event that will light up the Bay of Sanremo with a musical fireworks display and an evocative dancing light show on the sea – realised in collaboration with the Municipality of Sanremo – culminating in an electrifying party.
To make the evening even more special, the participation of Albertino, Fargetta, Molella and Prezioso, the legendary ‘Fab 4’ of Radio Deejay, who will bring on board their ‘Deejay Time’, an unmissable show in the evocative Colosseum of Costa Toscana to kick off this extraordinary experience.
