Costa, Europe's number one cruise line, continues to provide a top-notch European cruise experience by offering "Italian Style" hospitality while sailing to some of the most intriguing destinations in the world.

As the youngest and largest fleet sailing throughout Europe, Costa offers a wide variety of itineraries this year. From the ice-carved fjords of Scandinavia to the sun-kissed ports of the Mediterranean, Costa brings its Italian way of life to the farthest reaches of Europe. With seven ships, 42 itineraries, and 73 ports-of-call, Costa offers its guests more of what they come to Europe for.

Indeed, Costa will deploy its entire fleet--CostaAllegra, CostaAtlantica, CostaClassica, CostaEuropa, CostaRomantica, CostaTropicale, CostalVictoria--in Europe for the summer season (May through November). Sailing from the ports of Genoa, Venice, Savona, Amsterdam, and Copenhagen, Costa's vessels offer five- to 16-night cruises to the Eastern and Western Mediterranean, Canary Islands, Spain/Portugal, Baltic & Russia, Fjords/North Cape, and finally trans-Atlantic.
