Utilising one of the oldest and smallest ships in its fleet, Costa Allegra, the line is offering two 13-day cruises between Hong Kong and Mumbai. Departure of the first cruise from Hong Kong is scheduled at the end of May, with the 28,430gt vessel built in 1992 calling in Vietnam, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, the Andaman Islands, Sri Lanka, Goa and finishing in Mumbai. The vessel will sail a return leg on June 13.
Asked by Seatrade Insider if this will lead to more or bigger tonnage being deployed in Asia in the future, Foschi said he could not say.
