Atmosphere and guests
  • All ages
  • The third ship of the Concordia class, it has 'music' as its unifying interior theme. All deck names derive from music genres and songs, and in addition to art with antique violin and sheet music motifs, it has a recording studio said to be the first on a cruise ship (a resident music maestro is on board, and CD recording is available for a fee). In summer it is based at Civitavecchia (Rome) and cruises the western Mediterranean (Barcelona, Marseille, Palma de Mallorca, etc.); in winter it operates long Caribbean cruises from La Romana (Dominican Republic).
  • A lively, multinational clientele, mainly Italian, with passengers from France, Spain, Germany, and other European countries. Families and multigenerational travelers make up a high proportion. There are no Japanese-speaking staff or Japanese cuisine.

Families, adults-only areas, and practical information

Children and families
  • • Squok Club & Teen Zone — Facilities divided into a mini club for ages 3 to 6 (Peppa Pig theme), a Maxi Club for ages 7 to 11, and a teen zone for ages 12 to 17, plus a children's pool and pirate-ship playground.

Practical information (line-wide)
Onboard currency
EUR
Gratuities
The service charge (gratuity) is not included in the fare. Instead, a fixed amount per night is automatically added to the onboard account after boarding. It applies uniformly to all ships and all guests regardless of fare type (Basic/Comfort-type/Deluxe), and guests are not expected to reduce or remove it at their discretion.
Payment
Cashless onboard
Medical facilities
There is a medical center staffed by doctors and nurses, available 24 hours for emergencies. Consultations and treatment are not free and are charged to your onboard account each time (travel insurance generally cannot be used directly at the counter, and costs are usually claimed afterward). An exact Costa-specific fee schedule could not be confirmed from public information.
Bringing items onboard
Bringing alcohol on board is prohibited in principle, whether at embarkation or at ports of call, and anything found in X-ray screening is confiscated until the end of the cruise. Wine and champagne may be allowed only if approved by prior application, in which case a corkage fee of €10 per bottle is charged. Alcohol purchased at ports of call or in the onboard duty-free shops is also held until the end of the cruise (effectively confiscated).
Mobile and connectivity
The EU "free roaming" rule applies only on land, such as at ports of call. If your phone connects to the ship's maritime network at sea, expensive maritime roaming charges outside the scope of the regulation (both calls and data are far higher than usual) apply, so the practical standard approach at sea is to put your phone offline or in airplane mode and use Costa's onboard Wi-Fi package or an eSIM.
