Costa Fascinosa

Launched in 2012, the Costa Fascinosa is a colorful, action-packed cruise ship great for families and fun-loving passengers of all ages. With a design themed around "things that fascinate," the décor is a tribute to celebrities, exotic places, and pop culture. The ship undertakes exciting voyages along major ports in the Mediterranean, drawing sun seekers and party goers alike with its wide range of onboard activities. Snooze the day away laying by the pool, then tear it up on the dance floor of one of the ship's many bars and clubs all night. Wake up in time for a light Mediterranean breakfast at the restaurant or buffet, then recuperate from your late night with a nourishing treatment at the spa. There's so much to see and do, you won't ever want to leave the ship.

The former flagship of Italy's leading cruise line, the Costa Fascinosa attracts a passenger base of Italians and other Europeans, with culturally-curious North Americans making up about 5-15% of cruise passengers. Open-minded Americans with an appreciation for different cultures and a taste for Italian food are drawn to the line's European vibes, as
