About Costa Cruises
What began as a fleet of freighters transporting fabrics and olive oil between Genoa and Sardinia in the mid-1800's is today the largest and most modern cruise fleet in Europe. Costa Cruises, which became a fully owned subsidiary of Carnival Corp. in 2000, is an Italian company with a modern fleet of ships, worldwide itineraries and a distinct Italian personality.
The Costa fleet sails under the "Cruising Italian Style" banner -- offering a product that combines the sophisticated elegance of a European vacation with the fun and spirit of the line's Italian heritage. Costa's international family of ships spans the globe offering cruises of seven days and longer throughout the Caribbean, the Mediterranean, Northern Europe and trans-Atlantic.
"Cruising Italian Style" can be interpreted two different ways. Some passengers have disliked Costa because of the extensive smoking aboard their ships, but following Italian government regulations ashore, Costa has severely limited smoking to designated areas in lounges. Dining venues and bars are now smoke-free. Other travelers overlook these factors and enjoy the European atmosphere -- after all, Mediterranean-influenced cuisine, regional wines and warm, rich decor are all part of the Italian tradition. Alas, Italian stewards, part of the line's heritage, are no more. Cabin and dining room stewards are now hard-working and passenger-pleasing Filipinos. As they speak English, the former criticism of English-speakers that they were not understood has been ameliorated.
Costa is easily Europe's most innovative cruise line, with an aggressive building program. In July 2006, the cruise line launched its newest biggest-ship-ever, Costa Concordia, which was followed in May 2007 by sister ship Costa Serena. In addition, Costa announced its expansion into the Asia Pacific. During the summer, the Costa Allegra began sailing from China, and in Winter 2006/2007 Costa Classica and AIDacara began departing from Dubai, with the Costa Marina leaving from Singapore. Two more ships, as yet unnamed twins, at approximately 92,700 tons each, are being built for delivery in spring 2009 and autumn 2010.
