The Marghera shipyard is where Fincantieri sent to Costa Cruises, Italy’s biggest tourism group and Europe’s no. One cruise company, the newest flagship, the Costa Favolosa (114,500 gross tonnage and a capacity of 3,800 total Guests) : the biggest cruise ship flying the Italian flag.
The Costa Favolosa (www.costafavolosa.com), the fifteenth vessel comprising Costa’s fleet, the sole fleet flying the Italian flag, is a depiction of Italian pride that will sail the 7 seas. About three thousand workers and 7,000 workers from linked industries contributed to the construction of the ship. Most of the companies involved in the ship making activities, about five hundred, are Italian. The overall 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 genuine “contemporary fascinated castle” with phenomenal technical features where our Guests will experience a “fairy-tale holiday”. But it also confirms the soundness of our company. Regardless of what isn’t the most agreeable worldwide economic situation, our expansion plan continues, with major investments in Italy, thanks to the power of our brand, assured by at least 60 years of expertise, the standard of our product and shopper satisfaction.” announced 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 proof of how far we have come together and the results attained by two great Italian corporations who help spread a positive image of Made in Italy round the world”, commented Fincantieri’s Chairman Giuseppe Bono. “We are most pleased 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 one in its sector in Europe,step-in-step with Fincantieri as we buttressed our leadership in this sector. Cooperation between our companies shows that Italian industry is actually capable of making and working as a system and so of reaching peerless levels of quality.”
There truly is a myriad of “fabulous” ways to have some jollies and relax on board the new flagship : a wellbeing area extending over six thousand m ; new suites with Jacuzzi and veranda ; an Aqua Park for children ; the fascinations of virtual ; Grand Prix race vehicle and golf simulators ; and the very best of Italian and global cuisine. The Costa Favolosa will depart from Venice on 4th July 2011 on her first voyage, 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 colorful 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 Concept Store conceived by global designer Emilio Robba, where you’ll be able to find a swish collection of products and souvenirs selected specially for Costa Cruises. The Costa collection includes the prestigious new “Atelier du Parfum”, where you can mix and match perfumes to blend your own specially made scent. The culinary experiences on board are a banquet for the palate and have something for everyone : from the la carte Club to the “wellness” restaurant, the self-service smorgasboard with dishes characteristic of the places visited during the cruise, and the traditional Mediterranean delicacies in the 2 main cafes.
In the meantime, culture vultures will revel in the Costa Favolosa’s exclusive specially commissioned art collection : this is an excursion within the voyage taking in over six thousand works that enhance the inside decoration of the ship and her cabins. The Costa Favolosa’s position at the leading edge of cruise liner building technology also reaches to environmental compliance, which has long been a Costa hallmark. Like other fleet members, the Italian Company’s new flagship will be equipped for “cold ironing”, specifically a system whereby the ship is connected into shoreside electric energy, 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 first cruise, which leaves Venice on July 7 : an 11-day itinerary taking in Greece, Turkey and Croatia with stopovers in Bari, Izmir, Istanbul (Turkey), Mykonos, Piraeus, Olympia (Greece) and Dubrovnik (Croatia). For the rest 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 deployed on 7-day cruise holidays out of Dubai on the following itinerary : Muscat (Oman), Fujairah (UAE), Abu Dhabi (UAE), Khasab (Oman) and Dubai,as reported tagza.com.
