Pricing

Every sailing carries the lowest available per-person price in the market's currency via price.amount / price.currency. This is the Costa catalog's Interior (lead-in) fare — the published headline price.

Alongside it, the scraper passes through Costa's raw catalog price fields as price_{CURRENCY}_* (for example price_EUR_anonymous and price_EUR_standard), which break the lead-in price down by fare type and loyalty tier. These are all Interior-baseline lead prices.

Cabin coverage: A full per-cabin price matrix (Ocean View / Balcony / Suite) is not part of the current output. Pricing reflects Costa's catalog Interior lead-in fare across fare and loyalty tiers.

Output

Each record is a single sailing with:

• Cruise and itinerary identifiers (cruiseId, itineraryId)
• Ship name, departure/arrival ports (name + code), duration (nights)
• Departure and arrival dates (ISO format)
• Lowest available per-person price with currency (price.amount, price.currency)
• Ports of call with day indicators (portsList[].portName / dayIndicator)
• Normalized destination plus raw destination names and IDs
• Service charges and port charges
• Raw catalog lead-price fields carried through as price_{CURRENCY}_* (e.g., price_EUR_anonymous, price_EUR_standard) — the Interior lead-in fare by fare/loyalty tier
• itineraryURL — direct link to the sailing page for deep-linking / affiliate tracking (Costa emits this field as itineraryURL, not the source_url some other scrapers use)
• platform — costa-{region} for multi-market deduplication

Runtime & Cost

• Typical run: a few minutes for 500 rows on a single market
• Larger sweeps: scale maxRows up to 3000; runtime grows with pagination
• Proxy: Optional — catalog returns without one; residential proxy recommended for geo-accurate pricing
• Duplicate sailings and zero-price fare shells are filtered out before they reach the dataset

Usage

{
  "region": "it_IT",
  "maxRows": 500,
  "destinations": ["CW", "CE", "CA"],
  "useApifyProxy": true
}

Notes

• Costa prices are per-person
• Set region to pick both the market website and its output currency (see Supported Markets)
• Sailings with no published fare (blank €0 shells) are dropped automatically, so every record carries a real headline price
• For affiliate tracking, append your parameters to itineraryURL on the consuming side
• Enable useApifyProxy (or supply a geo-matched proxyUrl) to pin pricing to the region's country
