Cruise summer 2025: The ships set sail from Hamburg and Kiel!

In the summer of 2025, Costa cruises from Hamburg and Kiel go on exciting trips through Northern Europe. Like Kreuzfahrt Praxis reports, the cruises start with the Costa Favolosa from Hamburg and the Costa Diadema from Kiel. These two ships promise unforgettable experiences while protecting the environment.

The Costa Favolosa takes off from Hamburg and has a season from May to September. The routes run through impressive destinations such as England, Scotland, the Shetland Islands, Norway-including the spectacular North Cape-and Iceland, Greenland and Spitzbergen. The route lengths vary between 8 and 23 days, whereby the passengers can enjoy long lay times of over 9 hours to take excursions to the fantastic environments.

An essential aspect of this trip is compliance with strict environmental protection measures. Both the Costa Favolosa and the Costa Diadema are equipped with land power connections to reduce emissions to zero during the laying times in the port. This is particularly important because cruise ships cause 2 to 3 percent of air pollution worldwide, such as cruisricks shown.

The Costa Diadema will start every Friday from May 16, 2025 from Kiel and offers a wonderful trip along the Danish coast for eight days and through the Norwegian fjords. Here are exclusive “Sea Destinations” on the program, which give passengers a unique view of the impressive landscape. Kiel was already the first German port to supply the ships with country power in 2024.

Adventure North Cape

The North Cape, the northernmost point of the European mainland, attracts crusaders with its moderate climate and the dense fog fields. When the weather is part of, visitors can even catch a breathtaking view of the North Pole. As described Kreuzfahrten.de , visiting the globe symbol on the North Cape is an absolute must for photo fans. In winter you can even marvel at the northern lights while the summer brings the midnight sun.

The "Destination Dish" by Sternkoch Bruno Barbieri, which offers on board, ensures unforgettable culinary experience, which offers typical dishes from the visited regions. Early bookers can also look forward to attractive on -board credit of up to 250 euros per cabin.

In addition to the cruises to the North Cape and Spitzbergen, where there are polar bears and polar foxes at home, Costa relies on the goal of the net zero emissions by 2050. With land streams in German and international ports such as Ålesund and Kristiansand, the way is paved into a more environmentally friendly future.

The cruise industry has been criticized again and again in recent years, but the emissions are to be reduced further through innovative technologies and strict regulations, for example in coastal regions and ports. Costa and other shipping companies are continuously working to improve the environmental balance of their fleet.

FAZIT: Summer 2025 will be a highlight for cruise lovers who want to experience exciting travel destinations and at the same time a good conscience at sea. In order to discover the beauty of the Nordic regions, the upcoming trips with Costa offer the perfect opportunity.
