Creator's Key Takeaways

The Costa Pacifica isn't the biggest ship on the seas, but what it lacks in size, it makes up for in character.

The pasta is made fresh daily, and you can actually taste the difference.

The adults only pool area called the Samsara pool is a gamecher if you're looking for some peace and quiet.

The ship's greatest strength is its relaxed, authentically Italian atmosphere.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Choose ocean view or balcony cabins over interior for better space and views.
Book specialty dining reservations early to secure popular venues.
Consider a Samsara suite for included thermal suite access if you love spa treatments.
