Costa offers a way of cruising unlike
any other. Festive. Elegant. Delightfully different
in service, cuisine and ambiance. We
call it Cruising Italian Style. Costa Cruises enjoys

Your Costa cruise can be
tailored to meet your every desire. Be it, shore excursions,
special amenities or specialty dining you can customize
your Costa cruise vacation exactly as you want.
The Italian company,
with headquarters in Miami, has been hosting passengers
since 1948, when the line switched from its business
of transporting olive oil to a passenger line. Costa’s
fleet sails eastern and western Caribbean, Mediterranean,
northern Europe, South America, Baltic and Russia, and
Transatlantic itineraries. The ships run the gamut from
the intimate to the super-luxurious.
Costa’s
Italian-style hospitality offers clients in-depth travel
experiences aboard as well as ashore. Passengers will
bask in European-style luxury and sophistication, sharing
their experience with fellow cruisers who are just as
likely to hail from Paris, Texas as Paris, France. So
on each Costa cruise, you'll enjoy authentic Italian
cuisine and our warm, attentive crew whose smiles stretch
from here to Italy.
