More about Costa Toscana
These new (Excellence/Helios-Class) ships are the industry's first fully LNG-powered vessels, generating 100% of their onboard and propulsion power from LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) - both in ports and at sea. With the new liners, Costa Group had a fleet of 7 ships on order (total capacity 41,000 berths) to total Costa fleet capacity 110,000 berths. The Luminosa Class includes only one ship in the Costa fleet, the Costa Deliziosa.

Because of this, Costa Toscana is a ship that feels younger and hipper than most. It's also a ship that embraces and welcomes people of all ages; no one is going to "shush" kids onboard who are having fun, and passengers enthusiastically participate in all activities with cheers and shouts. While Costa definitely welcomes older, more experienced, passengers, the average age on Costa Toscana skewed younger, with many couples and families in their 40's travelling.

Costa Toscana has a total of 2,663 staterooms for passengers to choose from, split across several categories. These range from economical inside cabins with no window to spacious oceanviews, staterooms with balconies, and full-blown suites. Dancing and music are also held nightly in the classy Leonardo Gran Bar on Deck 6, a massive venue reminiscent of the large single-story shipboard lounges of the 1990's. Spanning the entire width of the vessel, this cozy nightspot decked out in wood tones and blues is the place to see and be seen for the dancing set.

Chalk that up to someone having a bad day; the remainder of Costa Toscana's crew speak flawless English and are keen to ensure you have a great holiday. Costa FORTUNA (2003) - all present and past Costa ships are displayed as models in the Atrium. Costa's flight+cruise package is available from all major European countries. On October 4, 2021, was officially introduced (on Smeralda) the company's new logo design.
The Venezia Class for Costa only includes one ship, Costa Firenze, although this ship will be leaving the fleet in Spring 2024 to become the Carnival Firenze. Those capacity figures are also the maximum capacity, if every room capable of sleeping 3 or 4 guests was at full occupancy. In most cases, they won’t be, since there will often be a lot of couples or pairs of friends sailing, so it’s rare for the ships to reach those numbers. Cruise Radio prioritizes well-balanced cruise news coverage and accurate reporting, paired with ship reviews and tips.
Costa Cruise Ships by Size (from largest to smallest)
Humanoid robots (named Peper) greet and guide passengers upon embarkation. They also assist them throughout the cruise by providing information and tips on shipboard dining, entertainment, pre-scheduled events, shore excursions, and tours. In July 2015, Carnival Corporation signed a shipbuilding agreement with Meyer Werft for the construction of all 4 new class vessels.
In spring and fall 2024, 3-day and 4-day Western Mediterranean mini-cruises are scheduled for Fascinosa and Pacifica. Costa's Mediterranean 2024 schedule has 3 ships in the Western Med (Smeralda, Toscana, Pacifica). The new livery is a stylized Italian flag (under the vessel's name / new font, larger lettering) painted on the bow.
Costa Cruises has existed since the mid 20th Century and so has seen many older cruise ships come and go. Costa Fortuna did have a sister ship, the Costa Magica, but she was sold to Seajets in 2023 and renamed as the Mykonos Magic. The Costa fleet is not quite as large as the biggest cruise lines in the world, but there are still various ships you can choose between depending on the kind of experience you want onboard. Costa Mediterranea attracts an international crowd, which varies depending on the itinerary.
It was estimated that this program engages nearly 2 million passengers per year, plus around 19,000 crew. With this new food product, Costa became the world's first cruise company serving its passengers a fresh-made mozzarella. The shipboard-made mozzarella is produced by a Comat-manufactured steam machine (powered by electricity) that uses the curd of cow and buffalo milk sourced from Salerno's Piana del Sele area. The stretched curd is then rolled into a ball to form a mozzarella or hand-shaped and molded by the cheesemaker to become buffalo mozzarella cheese.
Celebrating its 70th anniversary, in 2018 Costa Cruises changed the company's ship livery/hull logo fleetwide. The 1854-founded company was originally named "Giacomo Costa fu Andrea" and established by Giacomo Costa for trading in olive oil/textiles. Costa's first Transatlantic liner (SS Anna C) was the first to cross the South Atlantic following WW2 ( ) and also the first to have air-conditioned passenger staterooms.
