Costa Cruises

Costa Cruises is an Italian cruise line founded in 1948 and headquartered in Genoa, Italy, operating as a wholly owned subsidiary of Carnival Corporation & plc. Catering primarily to the European market, its 10-ship fleet — all sailing under the Italian flag — sails itineraries worldwide, with a signature Italian-style onboard experience. Costa is recognized as the leading European cruise brand and was the second cruise line to operate LNG-powered ships following the debut of Costa Smeralda in 2019.
