(Alliance News) - Carnival PLC on Thursday said September cruises for two of Costa Cruises Italian cruise lines will be reserved for exclusively for Italian nationals.
The FTSE 250-listed cruise line operator said the September cruises of Costa Deliziosa departing from Trieste and Costa Diadema from Genoa will be reserved exclusively for guests from the country, with one-week itineraries calling at Italian ports only.
"Costa is working for a responsible and safe resumption of its cruises starting from 6 September, as already announced in recent days, tirelessly monitoring the epidemiological situation that is constantly evolving. The company hopes that from October the situation will allow to welcome on board its ships also guests of other nationalities," the cruise operator explained.
Carnival said the decision was made following the regulation issued Thursday by the Italian Ministry of Health regarding mandatory checks for travellers returning from some European and foreign destinations, adding that the solution will allow Costa guests to better enjoy their holiday, with less worries.
The company also confirmed the extension until September 30 of the pause for all the other cruises.
Carnival shares closed 0.2% higher at 980.00 pence each on Thursday in London.
