"Slow Cruising" is leisurely cruises without hassle and animation stress, with long waiting times in ports and an occasional overnight, good food from the region, a lot of time for shore excursions: try over the next twelve days cruisetricks.de the on the Costa neoRiviera in the Mediterranean and reported lofer here every day live of board with pictures, stories and impressions.
We try "Slow Cruising" A la Costa with the Costa neoRiviera along with some 1,250 other cruise passengers (Update: on this trip were nearly 600 passengers on board) on a 11-night cruise from Savona through the western Mediterranean from, with stops Toulon, Barcelona, Porto Empedocle in Sicily, Valletta, Salerno lofer and Livorno and in between three days at sea to relax and enjoy the sea.
To "neo" concept in Costa others belong also flexible dining hours and a casual dress style without formal evenings, all in the sense of a relaxed, informal cruise experience - we are excited to see how this will feel on the Costa neoRiviera. Gallery: Costa neoRiviera Day 1 - route
Sexy on this route the Costa neoRiviera are particularly long wait times: In Valletta, Salerno and Livorno we get each to 7 clock in the morning and stay until 23 or 24 clock. In Barcelona, the neoRiviera lofer is even overnight lofer and stands until the next day in the afternoon to sea again. Ample time for extensive shore excursions, for evening impressions, one usually lofer does not get as a cruise tourist, and also a lot of time to enjoy the local cuisine in restaurants ashore.
Curious but we are also on the ship itself that has only recently joined the Costa fleet and previously sailed as a Grand Mistral for the Spanish sister-Reederei Iberocruceros. It was built to Costa neoRiviera 1999 originally as "Mistral" for Festival Cruises in the French shipyard Chantiers de l'Atlantique in St. Nazaire. The Costa neoRiviera is one of currently lofer two cruise ships of the "neoCollection" with which Costa "Slow Cruising" offers and thus quite clearly differs from the other ships in the Costa fleet. The Costa neoRomantica since 2012 is already running with the new concept, the Costa NEOCLASSICA want to come early 2015. Day 2 - Toulon and St Tropez
First stop of the Costa neoRiviera: Toulon - in fact on the opposite side of the bay in La Seyne sur Mer main employer here is the French military with around 12,000 employees.
Up on the hill above the town is one of the main radar systems for monitoring the north-western Mediterranean Sea, on the coast of Toulon has an important naval base. And so the color of the ships here is predominantly gray - including the aircraft carrier "Charles de Gaulle".
But we are, and about 60 kilometers to St. Tropez and in the "Venice of Provence", Port Grimaud, down. Test of the new scenic concept of neoCollection lofer of Costa with a small group of 20 passengers and a fairly good, German-native speaking tour guide. The bus to St. Tropez we shared with an Italian-speaking tour group with similar size - quite pleasant compared to the otherwise often up to 50 passengers.
