The Ship
The Costa Fortuna is one of Costa‘s first new ships of this century, having been launched in 2003. It has a mix of European and American design, with much of its decor paying homage to classic Italian vessels. While there usually are some American guests, most guests are from Italy, Spain, France and Germany, which is why announcements are made in the corresponding 5 languages and the onboard currency is the Euro. The dress code is casual during the day and smart casual in the evenings.
There are 1,358 cabins on this ship, which are pretty basic, only offering a bed, a chair, a small desk, a mini-fridge, and a bathroom with a shower.
