This year, the Cruise Baltic Crown Award goes to Federico Bartoli, Director of Itinerary Planning at Costa Crociere. The Italian cruise planner was awarded the price for his ability to spice up the Baltic Sea cruises with new ports.

“Federico Bartoli plays a key role when it comes to planning the Costa cruise itineraries. It has a great impact, when people in his position, show the courage to add new destinations to the more traditional itineraries.
