Costa Cruise Lines Review
When planning a European cruise one of the most important considerations is deciding which cruise line to book with. There are literally dozens of quality companies operating in Europe from the high end luxury of Silversea and Cunard to the family fun of Disney. If you find yourself somewhere in the middle of that spectrum you might choose a company like Costa, and our Costa Cruise Lines review will help you determine if they will provide you with the vacation adventure you want to have.
Costa is a subsidiary of the mammoth cruise company, Carnival and their fleet of ships proudly declares that when you are sailing with them you are “Cruising Italian Style” as a nod to their roots as olive oil traders back in the 1800s. They operate world wide, and have extensive operations both in the Mediterranean as well as Northern Europe, and their presence around the continent is larger than any other cruise company’s, and is one of the few that sails the Mediterranean sea year round.
When “Cruising Italian Style” you’ll enjoy the wonderful Mediterranean cuisine, fabulous wines, and stylish decor that has become synonymous with the country of Italy. They have a truly international staff with races and cultures from all over the world represented. However, all staff speak English to help avoid communication problems with the bulk of their passengers.
If you are taking a Mediterranean cruise with Costa expect to be aboard the Costa Victoria, Costa Serena, or Costa Luminosa. All 3 ships can be compared to floating palaces, each with the capacity to house nearly 3,000 passengers, and have the latest technology to compliment their old world Italian charm.
How about a Baltic Sea cruise? Discover the wonders of Russia, Norway, Estonia, Finland, Sweden and Denmark while sailing aboard the magnificent Costa Atlantica. As soon as you board the Atlantica prepare to be blown away by the incredible replica of Venice’s Caffe Florian and the massive atrium that stretches across the entire ship. With marble, Murano glass and mosaic tile throughout you’ll feel like you inside a royal palace rather than a cruise ship.
Wherever your itinerary takes you you can expect to travel in style aboard Costa Cruise Lines, a with prices starting as low as $449 for a Greece and Croatia cruise that smooth Italian style comes at a very reasonable price.
