Costa Cruises modifies itinerary due to rough weather forecasts
What happened
Costa Cruises modified its itinerary for the Costa Favolosa after forecasts predicted strong winds and rough seas. The scheduled calls in Leknes and Bodø were cancelled, and the itinerary was revised to include an overnight stay in Trondheim, followed by Haugesund and Kristiansand. The cruise line provided guests with €100 in refundable onboard credit and automatically refunded impacted excursions.

Why it matters
The operational changes impact Costa Cruises, which is providing compensation to guests for the last-minute itinerary adjustments. The revised schedule also affects the port operations and tourism traffic in the new destinations.
