On April 29, 2026, the 'Costa Pacífica' requested the medical evacuation of a 42-year-old French passenger. The ship, which already had departed from the port of Valencia enroute to La Spezia, headed to the northern anchorage to carry out the evacuation.

Iran war changes itineraries
The 'Costa Smeralda' will no longer sail in the Arabian Gulf as previously scheduled. Instead, the vessel will operate a programme in the Canary Islands and Madeira, introducing a new seven-day itinerary between the two archipelagos. With this decision, Costa intended to provide clarity and planning certainty for all guests and travel partners at an early stag As the outlook in the Middle East remained uncertain for the winter season 2026/27, Costa will not operate itineraries in the area for the upcoming season. Under the revised deployment, the 'Costa Smeralda' will operate the Canary Islands programme following a planned drydock. The ship’s new schedule will significantly increase the company’s guest capacity in the region. The redeployment was also affecting the 'Costa Pacifica', which had originally been scheduled to operate cruises in the Canary Islands and Madeira. After its own drydock, the ship will instead be repositioned to the Western Mediterranean. From there, the 'Costa Pacifica' will operate a combination of seven-day itineraries visiting Western Mediterranean destinations and longer voyages covering parts of Southern Europe and North Africa. The company also indicated that new extended itineraries were planned as part of the programme. The changes meant that the previously scheduled repositioning voyages forthe 'Costa Smeralda' between Europe and the United Arab Emirates will not take place. Passengers booked on those sailings, as well as guests booked on the cancelled Middle East cruises, will be able to transfer to other Costa sailings. Affected guests may choose another cruise and will receive €200 in onboard credit per cabin, equivalent to €100 per person for two guests sharing a cabin. Passengers booked on the 'Costa Pacifica’s former Canary Islands programme were to be transferred to the new 'Costa Smeralda' itineraries under the same conditions. New itineraries for both ships were expected to open for booking before the end of March 2026.
