Costa Cruises' original roots and onboard experience is undeniably Italian. As Europe's largest cruise line with 350 departures a year in the Mediterranean, its fleet of 14 ships also cruises the Caribbean (aka "Italy in the tropics") and South America. Recently, Costa has added itineraries in the Middle East (first line to home port in Dubai).  Costa is known for its "lively" Italian atmosphere and casual dress code (case in point: on the last night of the cruise, passengers dress up toga-style).  Costa is best suited for couples, singles and families with children who are looking for a European-style cruise experience at a budget price.
