Costa Cruises: the history
Founded in 1854 by the Italian Angelo Costa, Costa Cruises is a symbol of the Italian way of life throughout the world. With over 210 years of experience, Costa Cruises has been committed to continuous innovation to offer a unique travel experience to its passengers since the first ship in 1948. In 70 years, Costa has expanded its offer by proposing new destinations, new efficient ships and new innovative projects.
Thanks to an investment of more than 6.5 billion dollars in 2000, Costa had the opportunity to expand its fleet and today owns 17 cruise ships. The company is Europe's leading cruise line in terms of passenger numbers, with an average of 4,000 on each ship (not including crew), and in terms of fleet and wide range of destinations. Each year, travelers are spoilt of choice with more than 2,200 excursions, all at an affordable price to allow families and young people alike to enjoy a dream holiday.
