The Story
The Costa neoRomantica has been sailing the world's oceans since 1993, offering guests a taste of Costa Cruises' signature Italian-style hospitality. With a capacity of 1,894 passengers and measuring 56,769 gross tons, this Costa CLASSICA ship strikes a comfortable balance between intimate and spacious. Her mid-sized design means you'll find plenty of onboard amenities without the overwhelming scale of today's mega-ships.
Onboard, the neoRomantica reflects Costa's European flair with elegant public spaces, Italian dining experiences, and entertainment that celebrates Mediterranean culture. The ship's size allows for a more relaxed atmosphere where you can actually get to know your fellow passengers and crew. Whether you're lounging by the pool, enjoying evening shows, or savoring authentic Italian cuisine, the ship delivers that classic cruise experience that many travelers seek.
The Costa neoRomantica has built a loyal following among cruisers who appreciate traditional ocean voyaging over the theme-park-at-sea approach of newer vessels. She tends to attract a diverse international crowd, particularly European travelers who value Costa's distinctive style and itineraries. The ship's three decades of service have given her character and charm that newer builds simply can't replicate.
