Cruises from Hamburg and Kiel start in summer 2025 with environmentally friendly ships and attractive routes to Norway and Iceland.
Cruise summer 2025: The ships set sail emission-free from Hamburg and Kiel!
In the summer of 2025, Costa Cruises will take you on exciting journeys through Northern Europe from Hamburg and Kiel. How Cruise practice reported that the cruises with the Costa Favolosa start from Hamburg and the Costa Diadema from Kiel. These two ships promise unforgettable experiences while protecting the environment.
The Costa Favolosa departs from Hamburg and has a season from May to September. The routes lead through impressive destinations such as England, Scotland, the Shetland Islands, Norway - including the spectacular North Cape - as well as Iceland, Greenland and Svalbard. The route lengths vary between 8 and 23 days, with passengers able to enjoy long layovers of over 9 hours to take excursions into the beautiful surroundings.
Sustainability on board
A key aspect of these trips is compliance with strict environmental protection measures. Both Costa Favolosa and Costa Diadema are equipped with shore power connections to reduce emissions to zero while in port. This is particularly important since cruise ships cause 2 to 3 percent of air pollution worldwide, as CruiseTricks shows.
The Costa Diadema will depart from Kiel every Friday from May 16, 2025 and offers eight days of a wonderful journey along the Danish coast and through the Norwegian fjords. Exclusive “Sea Destinations” are on the program here, giving passengers a unique view of the impressive landscape. In 2024, Kiel was the first German port to supply ships with shore power.
North Cape adventure
The North Cape, the northernmost point of mainland Europe, attracts cruisers with its temperate climate and thick fields of fog. If the weather permits, visitors can even catch a breathtaking view of the North Pole. How Cruises.de describes, a visit to the globe symbol in the North Cape is an absolute must for photography fans. In winter you can even marvel at the northern lights, while summer brings with it the midnight sun.
The “Destination Dish” offered on board by star chef Bruno Barbieri, which offers typical dishes from the regions visited, ensures an unforgettable culinary experience. Early bookers can also look forward to attractive on-board credit of up to 250 euros per cabin.
In addition to cruises to North Cape and Svalbard, home to polar bears and arctic foxes, Costa is committed to achieving net zero emissions by 2050. Shore power connections in German and international ports such as Ålesund and Kristiansand pave the way to a greener future.
The cruise industry has been repeatedly criticized in recent years, but innovative technologies and strict regulations, for example in coastal regions and ports, are intended to further reduce emissions. Costa and other shipping companies are continually working to improve the environmental performance of their fleet.
Conclusion: Summer 2025 will be a highlight for cruise lovers who want to experience exciting travel destinations and at the same time have a clear conscience at sea. To discover the beauty of the Nordic regions, upcoming trips with Costa offer the perfect opportunity.
