The Costa Favolosa, The 15th Vessel Comprising Costa’s Fleet, The Only Fleet Flying The Italian Flag, Is A Symbol Of Italian Pride That Will Sail The Seven Seas.
The Marghera shipyard is where Fincantieri delivered to Costa Cruises, Italy’s biggest tourism group and Europe’s no. 1 cruise company, the most recent flagship, the Costa Favolosa (114,500 gross tonnage and a capacity of 3,800 total Guests) : the biggest cruise liner flying the Italian flag.
The Costa Favolosa (www.costafavolosa.com), the 15th vessel comprising Costa’s fleet, the only fleet flying the Italian flag, is a depiction of Italian pride that may sail the seven seas. About three thousand staff and seven thousand workers from linked industries made a contribution to the construction of the ship. Most of the firms involved in the ship making activities, about 5 hundred, are Italian. The total cost of the investment in the new building undertaken by Costa Cruises is worth approximately 510 million euros.
“For us, the delivery of the Costa Favolosa is a twofold source of pride. She is a superb ship, a real “contemporary enchanted castle” with incredible technical features where our Guests will experience a “fairy-tale holiday”. And it confirms the soundness of our company. In spite of what isn’t the most favourable worldwide economic situation, our expansion plan continues, with major investments in Italy, thanks to the power of our brand, warranted by more than 60 years of expertise, the quality of our product and customer satisfaction.” declared Pier Luigi Foschi, Head honcho and Boss of Costa Crociere S.p.A.
“The Costa Favolosa, the biggest ship built to date for Costa Cruises, is living evidence of how far we have come together and the results accomplished by two great Italian corporations who help spread a positive image of Made in Italy round the world”, commented Fincantieri’s Manager Giuseppe Bono. “We are most happy to have given to the successfulness of Costa, an Italian company which proudly flies the Italian flag and which has grown to become the first in its sector in Europe,step-in-step with Fincantieri as we buttressed our leadership in this sector. Collaboration between our firms shows that Italian industry is literally capable of making and working as a system and thereby of reaching peerless levels of quality.”
There really is a plethora of “fabulous” ways to have some jollies and relax on board the new flagship : a wellness area extending over 6,000 m ; new suites with Jacuzzi and veranda ; an Aqua Park for kids ; the fascinations of virtual ; Grand Prix race automobile and golf simulators ; and the best of Italian and global cuisine. The Costa Favolosa will depart from Venice on 4th July 2011 on her first excursion, a 3-day vernissage mini-cruise. Across the summer of 2011, Costa’s flagship will sail 8-day cruises in the Eastern Mediterranean, following the old routes of the “Serenissima”, calling on Turkey, Greece and Croatia. Instead , next winter, the Costa Favolosa will sail to the exotic seas of the Arab Emirates and Oman, offering her Guests “dream” holidays in the legendary and great area of the Arabian Nights.
On board there are Tax Free shops and a Costa Idea Store conceived by international designer Emilio Robba, where you’ll be able to find an exclusive collection of products and keepsakes selected specially for Costa Cruises. The Costa collection embodies the renowned new “Atelier du Parfum”, where you can mix ‘n match perfumes to mix your own specially made scent. The culinary experiences on board are a feast for the palate and have something for everyone : from the la carte Club to the “wellness” restaurant, the self-service smorgasboard with dishes typical of the places visited in the cruise, and the standard Mediterranean delicacies in the 2 main restaurants.
Meanwhile, culture vultures will delight in the Costa Favolosa’s exclusive specially commissioned art collection : this is a voyage in the voyage taking in over 6,000 works that boost the interior decoration of the ship and her cabins. The Costa Favolosa’s position at the cutting edge of ship building technology also extends to environmental compliance, which has long been a Costa hallmark. Like other fleet members, the Italian Company’s new flagship will be provided for “cold ironing”, namely a system whereby the ship is wired into shoreside electrical power, enabling generators to be shut down during stopovers in port.
The Costa Favolosa leaves Venice on July four on her 3-day vernissage minicruise with stopovers in Dubrovnik (Croatia) and Koper (Slovenia). This will be followed by her grand opening cruise, which leaves Venice on July seven : an 11-day schedule taking in Greece, Turkey and Croatia with stopovers in Bari, Izmir, Istanbul (Turkey), Mykonos, Piraeus, Olympia (Greece) and Dubrovnik (Croatia). For the remainder of this summer season the Costa Favolosa will be leaving from Venice every Sunday and Bari every Monday on 8-day cruises porting in Olympia (Greece), Izmir and Istanbul (Turkey), and Dubrovnik (Croatia). In winter 2011 / 12, the Costa Favolosa will be employed on 7-day cruise holidays out of Dubai on the following schedule : Muscat (Oman), Fujairah (UAE), Abu Dhabi (UAE), Khasab (Oman) and Dubai,as reported tagza.com.
