Launched in November 1993, the new Costa Romantica will continue an evolution in luxury cruising begun by her sister ship, the Costa Classica. The Costa Romantica is an architectural tour de force of stunning drama. Window walls offer breathtaking ocean vistas. Public rooms are richly embellished with rare woods and Carrara marble, exquisitely detailed by the finest European artisans. Original works of art greet the eye at every turn. The talented designers of the Costa Romantica have spared no expense to make her the most comfortable and beautiful ship afloat.

She has 34 luxurious Italian-inspired suites, averaging approximately 340 to 580 square feet (ten suites with verandas) featuring all the comforts of home and butler-style service that the most experienced travelers will enjoy. Nautical wall murals and cheerful fabrics capture the Costa Romantica's spirit of adventure. Her over-sized staterooms average more than 200 square feet, and are considered to be among the largest of any ship.
A fully contained spa at sea offers an exciting complement of Health and Fitness Activities, including Beauty treatments, therapies and personalized instruction.
