upcoming cruises for winter 2020-2021.

GENOA, Italy, Oct. 28, 2020 -- Considering the limitations still in place in
some European countries, and in light of the current epidemiological
situation, Costa Cruises
(https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=2964462-1&h=2535227436&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.costacruises.eu%2F&a=Costa+Cruises)
– the leading cruise line in Europe and part of Carnival Corporation & plc
(https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=2964462-1&h=2562587299&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.carnivalcorp.com%2F&a=Carnival+Corporation+%26+plc) (NYSE/LSE:
CCL; NYSE: CUK) – today announced updates to its upcoming cruises for winter
2020-2021.

Costa Smeralda, the brand's flagship powered by liquefied natural gas (LNG),
will extend her current cruises only in Italy until the end of February 2021,
visiting Savona, La Spezia, Cagliari, Messina, Naples and Civitavecchia/Rome.
This one-week itinerary will replace the one in Italy, France and Spain that
the ship would have offered starting from Nov. 14, 2020.

The Costa Smeralda itinerary sails guests to some of the most popular art
cities and natural areas in Italy, contributing to the recovery of the
national tourism ecosystem, which is also receiving benefits from AIDAblu,
from the Costa Group's Germany-based AIDA Cruises, which has been calling only
in Italy since mid-October.

Costa Deliziosa will continue operating her current one-week itinerary in
Italy and Greece until Jan. 3, 2021 – calling at Trieste, Katakolon/Olympia,
Athens, Heraklion/Crete and Bari, instead of visiting Montenegro and Croatia
as originally planned.

Costa Diadema will postpone the start of her long cruises in the Mediterranean
to April 6, 2021, offering 14-day cruises to Turkey and 14-day cruises to
Egypt and Greece, as scheduled.

The new ship Costa Firenze, which is currently in the final stages of
completion at the Fincantieri shipyard in Marghera, will be delivered as
planned in mid-December 2020, but she will begin offering its seven-day
cruises in Italy, France and Spain only from Feb. 28, 2021.

Finally, the Costa Favolosa cruises in the Caribbean are canceled and the ship
will return to operate from April 2, 2021, with mini-cruises in the
Mediterranean.

The 2021 World Tour of Costa Deliziosa is also canceled, with the possibility
for guests to book the 2022 edition.

Costa is informing all guests and travel agents impacted by changes to the
winter 2020-2021 program. They will be guaranteed reprotection in accordance
with the applicable legislation. Should the situation require any further
change, Costa will promptly adjust its programs and provide full information
to its guests.
