Emirates and Costa Cruises have renewed their partnership through 2027, a move aimed at strengthening Dubai's status as a global cruise hub. The announcement was made at ITB Berlin on March 5, 2025.

The renewed partnership builds on two decades of collaboration between the airline and cruise company, focusing on enhancing passenger experiences and developing Dubai as a premier cruise destination with integrated connectivity across air, land, and sea.

Emirates and Costa Cruises will work together on joint marketing efforts, harmonised flight scheduling, and dedicated capacity in the form of 'cruise blocks' to meet demand from key markets across the airline's network. The partnership aims to deliver an exceptional experience by sharing relevant data and insights for service improvement and dedicating support teams for smooth check-in processes at Dubai Harbour Cruise Terminal. Enhanced transport solutions between Dubai International Airport (DXB) and Dubai Harbour Cruise Terminal are also part of the plan.
