Costa Cruise Lines offers a way of cruising unlike any other. It's festive. It's
elegant. It's delightfully different in service, cuisine and ambiance. Costa
calls it "Cruising Italian Style." Reflecting on their rich Italian heritage, no
detail has been overlooked in bringing you the style and generous hospitality of
Italy. On each Costa cruise, you'll enjoy authentic Italian cuisine and a warm,
attentive crew whose smiles stretch from here to Italy.
From the first Buon Viaggio Celebration to the last Bacchanal Parade, Italian
Style cruising sets the stage for a week of unforgettable enjoyment. Wrap
yourself in togas and party like the Romans or enjoy the carnival atmosphere of
Fest Italiana, while taking in Italy's favorite pastimes like bocce ball,
tarantella dancing, Italian karaoke, pizza (dough) tossing and more. And with
over 50 years of cruising experience, Costa Cruise Line will show you why
Cruising Italian Style is Magnifico!
Life Onboard
You'll discover an amazing thing about Cruising Italian Style. So many pleasures
await you onboard that you can indulge in the vacation of a lifetime without
ever setting foot on land. Practice your swing with Costa's onboard golf pro,
attend a wine tasting, an art auction, or simply relax in a comfortable deck
chair and watch the world go by.
Drop by the Internet Café to send home an electronic postcard. Learn to
prepare perfect pesto in an Italian cooking class. And don't forget to explore
the Italian shopping promenade for everything from exotic perfumes to fine
Italian fashions and leather goods.
Entertainment & Nightlife
After a gourmet dinner presented by Costa's award-winning chefs, check out the
casino. The sounds of cards being shuffled, chips being stacked and slot
machines jingling might just prove to be irresistible. Then meet up with
newfound friends in an intimate, Venetian-style bar and relive your day's
adventures. Later, hit the disco and on the dance floor, the pulsating beat of rhumba calls, while on deck, a million stars twinkle overhead as a conga line
forms and steel drums echo the tune of the tropics.
In the lounge, the night's entertainment is hot, hot, hot as a colourful
musical revue takes centre stage. Lime green, fuchsia, banana yellow costumes -
the vibrance is matched only by the star-quality entertainment. There are
sidesplitting comedians, hilarious talent shows and karaoke sing-a-longs.
Fitness Activities
Have you packed your sneakers? Stay in shape with an early morning jog while
you're onboard. Most ships feature an open-air jogging track on the top deck. Do
you love team sports and a bit of competition? Come join in the swimming pool
for a game of water polo and meet new friends at the same time.
Group lessons (aerobics, stretching, body-dancing, step) are organized for
energetic Guests with top fitness instructors. Ultra-modern gyms are equipped
with the latest Technogym Fitness equipment. Found worldwide, this
state-of-the-art equipment offers guests a personal Technogym key that can be
used to save personal settings, track results and take your fitness program with
you to a landside Technogym facility. Plus each gym offers free weights,
aerobics area and personal fitness training in a state-of-the-art gym where
floor to-ceiling glass windows offer unsurpassed views.
Costa Kids
Some of the best things in life come in small packages - and that's certainly
the case with Costa's Kids Program. From pizza parties and pirate treasure hunts
to face painting, masquerades, and even Italian lessons, supervised activities
like these are all in a day's play for kids lucky enough to cruise with Costa.
And that means you and your family can enjoy all the fun of Cruising Italian
Style. Morning, afternoon and evening events are scheduled to entertain children
from 3 (out of diapers) to 17. Whether it's an ice cream social or video game
tournament, karaoke contest or a visit to the bridge, Costa knows how to keep
the kids busy.
Costa Dining is Delizioso
Dining with Costa is always a grand affair. Course after lavish course is
prepared by European Chefs who belong to the world-famous Chaine de Rotisseurs.
They put heart and soul into every meal they prepare, and there are many.
Whether it's a tasty tropical dish like West Indian crab cakes with
jalapeno-lime mayonnaise; a luscious past selection which changes nightly; or a
specialty like prime rib of beef au jus oven roasted to perfection, there is
something to suit every taste.
If you love the fresh flavours of the Mediterranean, nobody knows Italian food
like Costa's chefs. Of course, you can always request the spa menu for a choice
of lighter dishes, or the vegetarian menu for delectable meatless meals. Both
are available at lunch and dinner. And it's all topped off with a complete
selection of luscious desserts.
There's even more choices with Costa's specialty restaurants. You can dine a
restaurant operated by the same chefs who run some of Italy's most highly
acclaimed restaurants, right onboard. It's a great way to savour Italy's best in
an intimate atmosphere complimented by impeccable service.
Dining choices abound when you're cruising Italian Style. Cosy bistros serve
pizza, gelato, cappuccino and espresso. Room service awaits your call 24 hours a
day, even after your visit to the midnight buffet.
