The Italian Renaissance viewed from a fresh perspective – the sea. Costa Firenze, the latest addition to the Costa fleet, is a ship whose every detail encapsulates the typically Italian love of beauty that is so well reflected in the city of Florence. And so the Renaissance relives in the interiors on board. Guests and their families can totally surround themselves with the aesthetics of the Italian lifestyle. In the large and welcoming public areas you can go for a walk by the boutiques, restaurants and bars, where you can have aperitifs if you like, or you can go for a jog in the open air or treat yourself toa regenerating massage in the wellness area. All this as your ship speeds you towards another destination on your journey. Then there are the wonderful private spaces, with cabins where the tiniest details call to mind the art and elegance of Florence.

Italian style in your cabin The soft embrace of your pillow When you step into your cabin you’ll feel instantly welcomed in a warm and elegant space, the perfect place to rest and relax. The cabins on Costa Firenze have a style that is not cold and static, but dynamic and enveloping. The colours that recall the shades of Renaissance Florence and the elegant materials used for the furnishings reflect that concept of an Italian lifestyle that is attentive to detail and takes pleasure in appreciating beauty. From the simplest cabins to the suites, all of them have been carefully designed to be welcoming, because on Costa Firenze comfort always goes hand in hand with elegance, allowing all guests to appreciate the good taste around them on their cruise.

How will the diagnostic test using a nasopharyngeal swab (antigen test) take place? A nasopharyngeal swab (antigen test), a quick and painless test, consists of taking biological material from the upper respiratory tract (nose and pharynx) using a cotton swab and analysing it. The test results will be available within about 1 hour of the sample being taken: boarding can only take place after receiving a negative test result. The costs of the test will be borne entirely by Costa.
Extra attention for every single passenger
Check-in is carried out completely online and opens 72 hours before your departure. To receive your cruise ticket, you must fill in a self-certification questionnaire regarding your health status. The boarding times are staggered to facilitate compliance with the correct social distancing rules and to ensure safe boarding. This is why punctuality is so important. > At the boarding terminal, all passengers are subject to a body temperature and health check so as to enable a departure in total safety.
A Smart Vacation
The best way to ensure your on-board safety is to book in advance. Visit www.mycosta.com before leaving (Reservation number will be found on the cruise documents): save time so you won’t have to check-in at the desks! Your smartphone is a fundamental travel companion! Thanks to Costa App and the QR codes you can ow enjoy a wonderful holiday with complete digital security. And it also means less paper to throw away! There are other ways you can stay informed about what’s new on board: You’ll find digital screens and interactive monitors in public areas, a dedicated Info TV channel in the cabin and the new Call Me service, plus a convenient personalized assistance via the cabin phone.
More Space For You
The number of passengers onboard has been reduced to make social distancing easier and guarantee a safe and pleasant cruise. The common areas and relaxation rooms have been remodelled so that they fully meet the safety standards you deserve: this means they are accessible to only a limited number of people at a time. The signposting in all high-traffic areas of the ship and the on-board staff will help you to get around easily and to maintain the correct safety distances
Enjoy the Whole Ship in Safety
Just as on land, when in public areas while on board, protective masks must be worn By doing this, you protect your own health and that of your fellow travellers! To help you keep your hands clean and sanitized at all times, in all the main areas of the ship you will find numerous sanitizing gel dispensers. The crew too have the necessary protective equipment to be able to do their job to the highest health standards.

We strongly recommend you to opt for our safe excursions, so as to safeguard your health and that of the other guests and crew.
Pure Air And Sanitized Environments
The public areas are sanitized several times a day with new disinfection methods including virus-killing nebulizers. Your cabin is also subject to a virus-killing disinfection carried out by qualified personnel and is cleaned and sanitized on a daily basis. On board ship, the air you breathe is of high quality thanks to the new high efficiency filters. Our on-board ventilation systems offer optimal filtering of fresh air from outside, minimizing the circulation of internal air.

All members of our crew have completed specific training courses relating to compliance with safety protocols and practices. If any guests show signs of health problems, our crew members are trained to respond immediately with set intervention procedures.
