1 Taste dishes created by Michelin-starred chefs
On cruise ships, it’s common to expect plenty of food served with both quality and variety, at all hours of the day. If there’s one thing you’ll never lack on a cruise, it’s something to eat. Whether you’re enjoying a lavish breakfast or indulging a midnight snack craving, you’ll find superb options. But Costa Cruises takes the culinary experience to another level. The Michelin-starred Costa Cruises chefs delight even the most discerning palates with their refined cuisine. Traveling with taste is not just an option—it’s highly recommended for food lovers. For example, aboard Costa Smeralda you can preview special creations by three internationally renowned chefs at the new Archipelago restaurant: Bruno Barbieri, Hélène Darroze, and Ángel León. Archipelago is the perfect spot for a memorable, special evening. Every cruise leaves travelers with something to remember—but an exceptional dining experience is one more reason to choose a Costa cruise holiday.
2 Travel more sustainably and inclusively
“Green” is a term that’s often used—and sometimes overused—when talking about travel today. But sustainability and inclusion are at the heart of every Costa Cruises journey. 100% of the waste collected on board is sorted and recycled, ensuring maximum care for the environment and supporting circular economy initiatives. That’s not all: Costa Cruises is also committed to reducing plastic on board. LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) is the most advanced technology currently available for minimizing environmental impact and emissions. And last but not least: water. Two thirds of all water used on board comes from the sea—it’s desalinated and purified to guarantee quality for every use.
3 Enjoy longer, more immersive shore excursions
Whether you’re embarking on a cruise from Genoa or any other port, Costa Cruises now offers something extra: longer, tailor-made excursions led by expert guides speaking your language, plus skip-the-line access to museums. Another great reason to choose Costa for your next cruise adventure.
