Costa Cruises
 Discover
a world of wonder with Costa Cruises
A Perfect Blend of Style & Experience
Think of Italy and the mind conjures up images of fine style,
first class cuisine, warm hospitality and Mediterranean charm
- just some of the ingredients that make Costa Cruises a unique
cruise company.
Costa's Italian family roots stretch back more than 50 years;
a wealth of experience and a proud heritage that is unrivalled,
and is today combined with one of the most modern cruise fleets
in Europe.
It is a heritage that you can share when you step onboard one
of Costa's magnificent seven cruise ship - you can even take
free Italian lessons! And it is a wealth of experience that
will ensure your Costa Cruise has no equal, whether onboard
ship or while in port. Each destination of Costa's tantalizing
itineraries offers its own kaleidoscope of pleasures, from cultural
and historical treasures to sightseeing splendours and shopping
bonanzas.
You can indulge your desires for adventure, from a submarine
journey deep into the ocean to an exhilarating helicopter ride
high in the sky. You can witness the wonders of nature from
the land of glaciers to the lushness of the tropics. You can
stand in awe at majestic monuments of ancient cultures, from
the Egyptian Pharaohs to the Knights of the Crusade. And you
can be dazzled by a wealth of wares, from village arts and crafts
to chic fashions in bustling cities.
In short, the best of all worlds.
Day that dazzle from dawn 'til dusk
A glorious dawn greets the start of a new day - and a new experience
- as your sleek white cruise ship glides into a faraway port.
The options detailed in your Shore Excursion Brochure will help
you choose to enjoy a day of being inspired by ancient cultures;
entranced by winding cobbled streets of whitewashed towns; bewitched
by exquisite shops in bustling capital cities; or immersed in
the warmth of the sun on a beautiful beach.
And the choice back on board ship is just as dazzling, as you
will read in the ship's newsletter Today, which is brought to
your cabin every evening detailing events for the following
day.
Perhaps, before enjoying a leisurely breakfast, you will start
your day with a refreshing early morning swim in one of the
excellent pools found on all Costa ships.
If you are still feeling energetic, you could participate in
one of the many deck sports, or pay a visit to the well-equipped
fitness centre.
Or perhaps you will prefer to immerse yourself in a jacuzzi,
take a stroll to the shops or pamper yourself in the beauty
salon.
Whatever your choice, and whether you are in the Mediterranean,
Caribbean, Atlantic or Baltic, Costa will ensure that every
day of your cruise is on to savour.
Nights that cast a magical spell
Evening is a special time onboard a Costa Cruise ship , a time
for sharing tales of the day's excitements and for revelling
in thoughts of the night ahead.
Elegant bars offer traditional sundowner cocktails before dinner
is served; a six course culinary extravaganza complemented by
impeccable service and a convivial ambience.
Costa's cuisine is renowned for its mouth watering choice. For
example, dinner could start with smoked salmon, crab quiche,
papaya flan or baked mozzarella, to be followed by lobster bisque
or fresh pasta, before a main course of Chateaubriand, linguine
with lobster sauce or a special vegetarian dish. And irresistible
desserts such as banana flambe, mango cream pie and cassata
Siciliano, tastefully followed by a selection of international
acclaimed cheeses.
Dinner is usually informal, with the occasional formal evening
such as the Captain's Gala or the Welcome Aboard, when men can
wear suits and women cocktail dresses, plus themed evenings
including toga parties.
After dinner you may want to relax with friends in one of the
elegant lounges, to be entertained at a top line show, or try
your lunch in the casino..
You may want to dance the night away in a discotheque, or take
a romantic stroll beneath the start - another memorable evening
on a memorable cruise.
