About Costa Smeralda

The Piazza di Spagna: a grand open air staircase overlooking the stern. The "Volare" walkway that reaches the highest point on the ship at 65 metres and Trastevere: a square in the centre of the ship that combines bars, shops and entertainment in one place. Now take a look at the current position of Costa Smeralda.
