Costa Classica: Treasures of the Far East cruise
We have just returned from this cruise (3 to 17 January 2010) and here are our observations.
We booked through Tropical Sky, who arranged flights non-stop Heathrow to Hong Kong. Other people we spoke to booked direct with Costa or through other agents and some of the routings sounded much more difficult. For example, one couple were booked on Emirates via Bangkok and a change of plane in Dubai. A direct flight (about 12 hours) was long enough for us.
Good state of decoration, well serviced, good size. A dated design, and the air conditioning was inadequate in the hotter parts of the cruise.
