Costa Toscana Returns to Sanremo Music Festival; February 2027 Mini-Cruise Still Open

October 19, 2026 — Costa Cruises is going back to Italy’s Sanremo Music Festival in February 2027. Costa Toscana will anchor in the bay at Sanremo for festival week. The first of two mini-cruises is already full.

The details

Event: the 77th Sanremo Music Festival, held each February at the Teatro Ariston on the Italian Riviera.
Ship: Costa Toscana, anchored off Sanremo during festival week.
Sailings: two “Music Cruise” mini-cruises. The first is sold out. Space remains on the February 17–21, 2027 departure, which covers the festival’s final nights.
Onboard and ashore: guests can follow the festival from the ship and visit Sanremo and the surrounding area. Costa says more additions will be announced in the coming months.
Embarkation port and other ports of call: TBA (not given in the source).

Costa Toscana sails in the Western Mediterranean through November 2027 as part of Costa’s year-round Europe schedule.

What it means for travelers

This is a short sailing with fixed dates (February 17–21, 2027). Plan to arrive in Italy at least a day before departure, because missing a mini-cruise means missing the whole trip.
Costa has not named the embarkation port yet. Wait until it is confirmed before booking flights.
Festival week is busy on the Riviera. Expect hotels and transport near Sanremo to fill early.
