Costa Cruises has rolled out a significant update to Costa Extra, its travel advisor portal, introducing a restructured interface and expanded resources aimed at simplifying how advisors book and promote the cruise line.
The platform's homepage now features a banner menu with five tabs — Booking Tools, Promotions, Costa World, Marketing and How-To — along with a new side menu designed to reduce the number of steps advisors take to reach frequently used tools and content.
"Costa has always placed great value on supporting our travel advisors, and this update to Costa Extra reflects that commitment," said Priscilla Reyes, head of sales for Costa Cruises North America. "Every element of the refreshed portal was developed with our travel partners in mind, offering a more intuitive experience. We're excited for them to discover the improved design and let it inspire the journeys they create for their clients."
The Booking Tools section sits just below the main menu, giving advisors quick access to departure searches, existing reservations and booking management. Scrolling further down the homepage, dedicated sections covering current promotions, brand news and community activity are available in real time.
The portal also houses marketing materials, step-by-step how-to guides, brand content and sustainability resources. Costa says the platform will continue to expand over the coming weeks as new tools and content are added. Advisors can log in or explore the updated portal at booking.costaextra.com.
