Maiden call of Costa Diadema in Las Palmas Cruise Port

Last Sunday, Las Palmas Cruise Port, operated by Global Ports Holding, the world’s largest cruise port operator, proudly welcomed Costa Diadema on its inaugural call. As the flagship of Costa Cruises, this impressive vessel embarked on a remarkable 10-day voyage that began in Barcelona.

The Costa Diadema, with a capacity to accommodate over 3,700 passengers, has already visited celebrated ports including Marseille, Savona, Málaga, and Cádiz. Now making stops in the Canary Islands, the ship will visit Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, and Gran Canaria, offering its guests a memorable journey across the Atlantic Ocean, brimming with luxury, entertainment, and modern amenities for all ages.

The ship’s arrival at Las Palmas not only highlights Gran Canaria as a pivotal destination for cruise travelers but also underscores the Canary Islands’ growing reputation as a prime winter getaway. As Europe’s preferred destination for sun-seekers during colder months, the Canary Islands attract visitors with their year-round mild climate, stunning natural landscapes, and rich cultural heritage.

From breathtaking beaches to vibrant local culture, the Canary Islands offer an ideal mix of relaxation and adventure for travelers. The Costa Diadema's inaugural visit reinforces the region's significance on the global cruise map, creating new opportunities for tourism and further strengthening the appeal of the Canary Islands as a must-visit destination for winter escapes.
