Costa Diadema

Get ready for an action-packed Mediterranean adventure! The Costa Diadem sails year-round to the most popular ports in Italy, Spain, and France. Formerly Costa's largest ship, the carnival-like atmosphere and high passenger count mean there's never a dull moment. Kid-friendly activities such as a laser maze, a video arcade and a Grand Prix racecar simulator make it a great ship for families, and teens and adults alike will enjoy the late-night clubs with live music and dancing. The ship itself is a bombastic creation full of bright colors, neon lights and glitzy art. Slightly more regal than her sister ships in the Costa fleet, the Italians have nicknamed this ship "Queen of the Mediterranean."

Based in Italy, Costa is Europe's leading budget cruise line. The line attracts a largely European passenger base, with English-speaking guests making up the minority of passengers. Onboard announcements are made in multiple languages, and most crew members also speak multiple languages. Passengers looking for an exciting cruise vacation in an authentic southern European atmosphere will be guaranteed to have a blast.
