Costa Cruises has set sail with the Music Cruise 2025, an innovative, music-filled voyage that celebrates the Sanremo Festival, Italy’s most renowned music event.

Departing from Savona on February 8, this extraordinary cruise brings together international music lovers for a week of entertainment aboard Costa Toscana, the company’s flagship vessel.

For the fourth consecutive year, Costa Cruises has reaffirmed its partnership with the Sanremo Festival, strengthening its collaboration with RAI, the Italian Ministry of Tourism, and local administrations to enhance the cultural and economic impact of this world-famous event.

According to the Italian Ministry of Culture, Sanremo has been a symbol of Italy’s musical heritage for decades, and this partnership extends its global reach.

A Unique Blend of Travel and Live Music

The Music Cruise 2025 is a first-of-its-kind experience, integrating international music festival themes with a Mediterranean cruise itinerary. Throughout the journey, Costa Toscana transforms into a floating concert venue, hosting performances by renowned artists and creating an immersive entertainment atmosphere.

The highlight of the cruise will be on February 15, during the Sanremo Festival finale, when Costa Toscana will be live-streaming from the Ariston Theatre while hosting an exclusive performance by Planet Funk on the ship’s Colosseum Theater stage, a spectacular venue spanning three decks.

Costa Cruises aims to expand the global appeal of the festival by making it accessible to guests from different nationalities.

According to the European Commission’s Tourism Policy, promoting cultural tourism through innovative events like this contributes to sustainable and inclusive economic growth across the EU.

Sanremo Festival Afloat: A New Standard for Cruise Entertainment

Throughout the Sanremo Festival week, Costa Toscana offers a curated lineup of musical performances, themed parties, and interactive experiences inspired by the world’s most famous music festivals. This cruise concept reinvents entertainment at sea, combining travel and live music in a way that enhances the festival’s outreach.

“Innovation and surprise are in Costa Cruises’ DNA. The Music Cruise 2025 is a perfect blend of travel and entertainment, offering guests a chance to feel the magic of Sanremo directly on board while exploring stunning Mediterranean destinations.

We are proud that this partnership has made our ships a part of the most-followed media event in Italy. Our goal is to expand this unique musical experience to a global audience,” said Giovanna Loi, Vice President of Marketing & Direct Sales at Costa Cruises.

An Unparalleled Musical Experience for Travelers

Costa Cruises continues to enhance its experiential travel offerings, creating unique opportunities for guests to engage with global entertainment trends.

This year, the company is introducing an interactive marketing activation across all Sanremo Festival broadcasts, allowing viewers to experience the cruise virtually and discover its unique entertainment concept.

As the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) encourages new tourism strategies that combine cultural heritage and entertainment, the Music Cruise 2025 represents a pioneering approach to blending luxury travel and live performances.

With this latest venture, Costa Cruises is redefining the future of entertainment at sea, proving that music and travel are the perfect duet.
