"Cruising
Italian Style"
|
The parent company of
Costa Cruise Line, the Italian based Costa Crociere was bought
by Carnival Cruise Line in 1997. Needless to say that Carnival
left Costa operating as a separate brand, preserving the style
and the image Costa has created for over 50 years in the
passenger ship business. As the phrase "Cruising
Italian Style" implies, everything onboard seems to be
molto Italiano, from the ships design to the
celebrated Italian cuisine. In the past the cruise line used to
employ all Italian crew, now days they hire personnel from all
over the world, although Italians are in key management
positions. It is fun to work for this cruise line with it's
European atmosphere, passengers are also a mix of Europeans and
Americans and the ships change their itineraries regularly
(summers in Europe and winters in the Caribbean or South
America).
Launched in
1860 as a freighter company that exported Italian olives and
olive oil to destinations all over the world, Costa Crociere
entered the passenger ship business in the 1940s with the
second-hand Anna C. In 1959 Costa began to offer Caribbean
cruises aboard the Franca C. When the end of the grand liners
came in the 1970s, Costa's vessels were converted into cruise
ships. Costa's last former liner, CostaRiviera, was retired in
late 2001. Following the takeover by Carnival Corporation in
1997 and eventual complete buyout in 2000, Costa has launched a
number of new ships. Costa is known for its "Cruising
Italian Style" concept which successfully attracts both
North American and European passengers alike. Costa is also very
popular with Spanish speaking passengers as Spanish is widely
spoken throughout the cruise line. Costa's Caribbean cruises are
very popular with Americans, while their Europe and
Mediterranean cruises tend to be more popular with and
international crowd (especially Italian). In Europe and the Med,
English is not the language of the ships, but announcements may
be made in several languages. |
