Highlights of the Costa experience include authentic Italian cuisine helmed by Michelin-starred chefs, vibrant entertainment programming, and luxurious Samsara spa.
With its Italian home base, Costa’s most popular routes are in the Mediterranean. This includes tours of the Greek Islands and a classic ‘Marvellous Mediterranean’ 7-day itinerary stopping in France, Spain and Italy. However, you’ll also find globe-spanning cruises to take you through the Caribbean, Northern Europe, Persian Gulf, Asia, Indian Ocean and China.
Being an Italian cruise line, it’s no surprise that Costa pulls out all the stops when it comes to fine dining! From stone baked pizza to homemade ice cream, there’s no shortage of ‘Made in Italy’ choices onboard including a 12-course dinner from acclaimed chef Bruno Barbieri. A Mediterranean influence runs through many Costa Cruises restaurants, from quick poolside snacks to gourmet buffets and 24-hour room service.
Self-service buffets offer a casual dining option at any time, catering to a variety of specialty dietary requirements. Costa Restaurants offer a selection of regionally-influenced menus alongside gourmet specialties from top-tier chefs.
Apart from the primary dining selections, you’ll also have the chance to sample something different in the fleet’s specialty outlets. This includes options like:

At the end of the voyage, we asked if we could leave early as we had a car picking us up to go to the airport, they arranged this without problems. I would have no problem sailing with Costa again.
Costa Luminosa
