DNATA has been appointed as a passenger sales agent (PSA) for Costa Cruises, the first cruise operator to have established regular itineraries out of Dubai. Costa has been a forerunner in developing the UAE as a cruise destination, offering a range of cruise packages to some of the most fascinating travel destinations in the world, including Western and Eastern Mediterranean, Norwegian Fjords, Baltic, Western and Eastern Caribbean, Red and Arabic Sea, Atlantic, Pacific and the Indian Ocean.
dnata and Costa have a well-established working relationship, with dnata providing full ground handling services to Costa for the past six years The new PSA agreement with Costa is a complementary addition to the increasing portfolio of GSA and PSA relationships that dnata maintains, which means dnata customers now have even more leisure options to choose from when booking their next holiday.
“As a travel management company we are dedicated to ensuring only the finest travel products are available for our customers,” said Nathan Adams, head of non-air travel, dnata. “We expect the rapid growth of the UAE as a cruise destination to continue; Costa’s packages are amongst the best in the industry, so this will be a welcome extension to our existing cruise business.”
