Good day Delene,

Since the International & National lockdown came into place, all repatriation of passengers was in the hands of the local authorities and Government of the respective countries that thousands of passengers are stranded in all over the world.

Costa Cruise lines specifically took full ownership of all passengers irrespective of nationality to either repatriate them once they were allowed to dock and then also depending on flight regulations + quarantine regulations assist them accordingly by means of: transport, accommodation & medical assistance.

Though we completely understand your frustration, you need to understand that this global crisis is extremely unpredictable & regulations change by the hour. In many situations the passengers onboard the Cruise ship will receive an update even before we as a company receive it.

We as a company are constantly in contact with all our Cruise partners, Local Governments & we are aware of every single passenger that has not been returned home.
Our biggest aim and focus as a company is to ensure our clients` safety (physically & medically) and to get them home in the most appropriate & timely manner possible.

Sincere regards
Imagine Cruising
