Costa Cruises

A leading player on the world stage

For the past 60 years the ships of Costa Cruises ships have sailed the world, offering the best in Italian style, hospitality and cuisine and providing dream vacations with the best in fun and relaxation.

Its fleet of 15 ships - Europe’s largest and most advanced -  includes its new flagship Costa Favolosa, and all fly the Italian flag, each with its own distinctive characteristics and unique style.

Together each year they offer the chance to visit some 250 separate destinations in the Mediterranean, Northern Europe, the Baltic Sea, the Caribbean, South America, the United Arab Emirates, the Far East and the Indian Ocean.

Costa Favolosa was the latest ship to join the Costa fleet in August 2010

A further new ship, Costa Fascinoa, is being built by Fincantieri for delivery in 2012.

The company - now part of the Carnival group of cruise lines - began operations in the1860s when its first ship was used to transport olive oil from the family-owned refinery in Genoa - still the home of Costa Cruises - to South America.

All of the ships in the Costa fleet have been assigned RINA’s Green Star notation certifying that they are operated in compliance with the highest environmental protection standards.
