Costa Cruises

Costa Cruises, based in Italy, sets itself apart from other European cruise lines with its Mediterranean-inspired design and festive atmosphere. Costa ships depart from a variety of ports around the world to transport passengers to destinations such as the Caribbean, Asia, Europe, South America, and beyond. Itineraries can range from four to one hundred and eighty nights.

Costa Cruises offers excursions such as historic site tours in Athens, Greece, and snorkeling excursions in Aruba for an additional fee. Costa also offers a number of cruise experiences. Some ships have a more intimate and relaxed ambiance, while others are more crowded and offer action-packed itineraries. Costa ships have approximately one crew member for every three passengers.

According to recent cruisers, affordable cabins are easy to find within Costa's fleet, which is a major draw. While at sea, you can enjoy casinos, shops, fitness centers, multiple pools, and live shows. After you've worked up an appetite, head to one of the ship's main restaurants or consider splurging on a meal at a specialty restaurant for a more memorable experience.
