On 27th September, the Cherie lounge on board Costa Fascinosa was set for a truly exceptional experience as the Orange Travel Group team, together with Costa Crociere S.p.A. and their loyal clientele embarked on Costa Fascinosa for a full day of activities and celebration. The event was crowned by an overnight stay for the Orange Travel Group team, who enjoyed a unique team-building experience joined by staff from offices across Europe.
The day was filled with moments to remember, including a lively cooking contest for valued Costa Crociere S.p.A. and SMS Mondial clients, part of the Orange Travel Group umbrella. Guests showcased their culinary skills in a friendly competition judged by three respected Maltese public figures and the Head Chef of Costa Fascinosa all adding a touch of excitement and camaraderie to the day.
A highlight of the event was a live speech from Alessandro Bottaro, International Markets Director, Costa Cruises, who said:
“It’s always a pleasure for us to be in Malta, and we’re thrilled to be part of this fantastic event hosted on board Costa Fascinosa. We’re sincerely grateful to Orange Travel for the great enthusiasm and effort they’ve put into organizing it. I’d also like to extend my personal thanks to all colleagues, both ashore and onboard, who supported the event’s organization. Malta is a key source market for Costa, and from early June to September, Costa Fascinosa will regularly call at Valletta as part of her 7-day itinerary through the Eastern Mediterranean, with additional stops in Catania, Taranto, Argostoli, Mykonos, and Athens. Thanks to our highly original ‘Sea Destinations’, exclusive to Costa, we’re able to elevate our itineraries and offer guests an even more unforgettable cruise experience. In particular, our exclusive Sea & Land itineraries represent a distinctive proposition: a unique combination of destinations at sea and shore excursions designed to highlight each location and itinerary.
Costa offers a complete, authentic, sustainable, and engaging travel experience.”
The occasion was further enhanced by inspiring speeches from:
The Captain of Costa Fascinosa Capt. Ezio Di Nunzio
Dr. Charles Mangion Chairman of Malta Tourism Authority
Claire Camenzuli, COO of Orange Travel Group
This event was more than a day at sea – it was a celebration of partnership, passion and excellence. Costa Cruises and Orange Travel Group together go the extra mile every season, welcoming thousands of passengers each summer to enjoy unforgettable journeys filled with adventure, exquisite cuisine and cherished memories.
A heartfelt thanks to everyone who joined us in celebrating teamwork, hospitality and the pure joy of cruising.
