Costa CruisesFrom: European Cruise Guide
Costa Crociere is one of the largest European cruise lines, with a fleet of nine ships. The company, a subsidiary of Carnival Cruises, is based in Genoa, Italy and welcomes English-speaking travelers aboard its multilingual voyages. Unlike most cruise lines, Costa has a Mediterranean season that includes the winter months. It also operates Northern European cruises in the warmer season. Several transatlantic crossings are sandwiched into the schedule, since a number of Costa ships operate in the Caribbean and South America during the winter. Costa Cruises attracts a younger crowd in Europe than many U.S. and British cruise lines do--especially during school breaks, when children and teens are likely to be on board. If you're looking for a chance to cruise with a middle-class crowd from the Continent, Costa should be on your shopping list. (We've cruised in the Western Mediterranean with Costa, and we had a great time.) Cruise line's Web site:Cruise review:Costa Western Mediterranean Cruise |
