Karl WP Beyer From January 2019 Costa Crociere is offering new Adagio Tours for Mediterranean cruises with the Costa Diadema. These are of particular benefit to guests with limited mobility. The program was developed in collaboration with the Italian Multiple Sclerosis Society (AISM).
In the future, guests with permanent or temporarily restricted mobility, but also parents with prams and elderly people in every port of destination on the Costa Diadema an Adagio group tour can be offered. In Italian, “Adagio” means “comfortable” or “comfortable”. The name of the program is excellent. There are no additional costs associated with this offer. Currently these excursions are planned in the cities of Genoa, Marseille, Barcelona, Palermo, Rome, Palma de Mallorca and Cagliari.

The special tour programs were developed by the Costa experts with the assistance of AISM members. 15 women with multiple sclerosis have extensively tested their accessibility. Costa guests benefit from the knowledge and experience of AISM members. You experience barrier-free excursions at a slower pace.
Neil Palomba, President of Costa cruises, explains: “This project is a real innovation in the cruise world. It is an important step on the way to involving people with disabilities and making sure that there are no more differences on board and that everyone can share the same experiences on vacation. I hope that in the future our initiative can be extended to the whole sector ”. And: "We want to quickly transfer the program to all of our ships".
