MS Costa neoRiviera is a cruise ship currently sailing for Costa Crociere and formerly operated by Ibero Cruises In 1999 Festival Cruises delivered their first new build MS Mistral which was built by Chantiers de l'Atlantique. Following the collapse of Festival Cruises in 2004 most of its fleet was sold off including Mistral which was sold to Viajes Iberojet (sometimes called Iberojet) and the cruise line was owned by a company also named Iberojet. Mistral was renamed Grand Mistral. In 2007 Viajes Iberojet was sold to Carnival Corporation & plc and was renamed Ibero Cruises, the next year the Grand Mistral received the new Ibero Cruises livery and continued sailing for Ibero Cruises. Grand Mistral was retired from Ibero Cruises in November 2013. She was transferred to Costa Crociere and renamed to Costa neoRiviera, and was also given new routes. Her itineraries will feature more overnight and unusual ports, as a part of Costa's new project featuring their smaller ships. Costa Crociere invested 10 million euros into refurbishing Costa neoRiviera . It was announced on May 25, 2018 that she will be transferring to AIDA Cruises to be a part of their fleet doing exotic cruises. Her inaugural cruise leaves on December 4, 2019 from Palma de Mallorca, Spain.
