YouTube Video Description↓

New series! My first ever cruise with Costa Cruises starts right here - this is my 2 part docu-vlog of my whole experience of a week onboard Costa Toscana. This is a whole new world for me and yes, k saw some of the bad reviews but I’m all for making up my own mind (as should you). In this episode I show you fly-cruise process from London Heathrow to Milan Linate with British Airways, the transfer and cruise check-in process at Savona cruise terminal, Italy, and then the entire experience onboard Costa Toscana including all venues, meals, menus, entertainment (etc) and what I get up to in our first ports of call, Marseille and Barcelona. In part 2 we’ll be heading to Palma de Mallorca, Palermo, Sicily and the β€˜dying city’ of Civita Di Bagnoregio, about 1h30 from Civitavecchia. Buckle up, it’s really going to be a rollercoaster ride! Don’t forget to like this video, subscribe and turn on notifications for bi-weekly cruise and travel vlogs!
