Creator's Key Takeaways

She's the kind of ship that makes you stop and stare.

The environmental credentials are genuinely impressive with the LNG propulsion system representing a real commitment to reducing emissions rather than just greenwashing.

On the downside, a ship this large inevitably feels crowded at peak times, particularly around the pools and buffets.

The Italian theming feels authentic rather than forced, and it adds character that distinguishes Costa from more generic mega ship experiences.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book shore excursions to explore Mediterranean ports, as they turn the ship into a comfortable base for exploration.
Consider the ship's size and crowds if you prefer intimate boutique cruise experiences.
Take advantage of the variety in dining and activities to prevent boredom on longer sailings.
