Genoa – Costa Crociere and Trenitalia have activated a new service for cruise passengers on Costa ships calling at Savona who will be able to purchase excursions for visits to Genoa and take advantage of a dedicated charter train. Cruise passengers on holiday on Costa ships and who want to make excursions to Genoa during the day of the ships’ call in Savona will use a shuttle service who will accompany them from the Palacrociere to Savona station where they will find the train service dedicated to them available. After a stop in Genoa, the train will take cruise passengers back to Savona, to return to the ship via the shuttle service. THEThe connection became fully operational on 8 June.
“This new offering reinforces our commitment to the development of more sustainable ground operations, which favor alternative forms of transport, such as rail transport”. – has explained Giuseppe Carino, senior vice president guest experience & onboard sales operations of Costa Crociere. “With Trenitalia we continue to work to offer our guests increasingly comfortable and sustainable transport solutions, but also to create value in the destinations in which we operate”
“The charters from Savona are part of a wide-ranging strategic project that Trenitalia and Costa intend to strengthen – he added Mario Alovisi, marketing director of Trenitalia. – Intermodal transport is one of the pillars of Trenitalia and we intend to build a multimodal experience in each port that accompanies cruise passengers from the first to the last mile on a “green” journey that includes the train”.
