Costa Cruises
ABOVE: The 2,720-passenger Costa Magica entered service in November, 2004. INSET BELOW: The Costa Mediterranea departs from Barcelona; close-up of stacks and waterslide.
Unlike most cruise lines, Costa has a Mediterranean season that runs throughout the year and Northern European cruises in the warmer months. Several transatlantic crossings are also sandwiched into the schedule, since a number of Costa ships operate in the Caribbean during the winter months. The line's vessels range in size from the Costa Marina, with 388 cabins, to the new Costa Serena, a 114,500-ton flagship with 1,500 cabins.
