The Marghera Shipyard Is Where Fincantieri Brought To Costa Cruises, Italy's Largest 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 Largest Cruise Ship Flying The Italian Flag.

The Marghera shipyard is where Fincantieri delivered to Costa Cruises, Italy's largest tourism group and Europe's no. 1 cruise company, the latest flagship, the Costa Favolosa (114,500 gross tonnage and a capacity of 3,800 total Guests) : the largest cruise liner flying the Italian flag.

The Costa Favolosa (www.costafavolosa.com), the fifteenth vessel comprising Costa's fleet, the only fleet flying the Italian flag, is a symbol of Italian pride that may sail the seven seas. About 3,000 employees and 7,000 employees from linked industries made a contribution to the construction of the ship. Most of the companies concerned in the ship building activities, about 5 hundred, are Italian. The final cost of the investment in the new building undertaken by Costa Cruises is worth roughly 510 million euros.

"For us, the delivery of the Costa Favolosa is a twofold source of pride. She's a wonderful ship, a genuine "contemporary enchanted castle" with fantastic technological features where our Guests will experience a "fairy-tale holiday". And also attests the soundness of our company. Despite what isn't the most propitious worldwide industrial situation, our expansion plan continues, with major investments in Italy, thanks to the power of our brand, guaranteed by more than 60 years of expertise, the quality of our product and customer satisfaction." announced Pier Luigi Foschi, Head honcho and CEO of Costa Crociere S.p.A.

"The Costa Favolosa, the largest ship built to date for Costa Cruises, is living proof of how far we have come together and the results achieved by two great Italian companies who help spread a positive picture of Made in Italy round the world", commented Fincantieri's Chairman Giuseppe Bono. "We are most thrilled to have contributed to the successfulness of Costa, an Italian company which proudly flies the Italian flag and that has grown to become the first in its sector in Europe,step-in-step with Fincantieri as we reinforced our leadership in this sector. Collaboration between our companies shows that Italian industry is actually capable of creating and working as a system and thus of reaching peerless levels of quality."

There really is an abundance of "fabulous" ways to have a laugh and relax on board the new flagship : a wellbeing area extending over 6,000 m ; new suites with Jacuzzi and porch ; an Aqua Park for kids ; the wonders of VR ; Grand Prix race vehicle and golf simulators ; and the very best of Italian and global cuisine. The Costa Favolosa will depart from Venice on fourth July 2011 on her first excursion, a 3-day vernissage mini-cruise. Throughout 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. As an alternative next winter, the Costa Favolosa will sail to the colorful seas of the Arab Emirates and Oman, offering her Guests "dream" holidays in the mythical and fabulous area of the Arabian Nights.

On board there also are duty free shops and a Costa Concept Store conceived by global designer Emilio Robba, where you'll be able to find an exclusive collection of products and mementos selected specially for Costa Cruises. The Costa collection embodies the prestigious new "Atelier du Parfum", where you can mix'n'match fragrances to blend your own custom-made perfume. 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 buffet with dishes typical of the places visited during the cruise, and the standard Mediterranean delicacies in the 2 main eateries.

Meanwhile, culture vultures will revel 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 cruise liner building technology also extends to environmental compliance, which has always 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 plugged 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 may be followed by her grand opening cruise, which leaves Venice on July seven : 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 high season the Costa Favolosa will be leaving from Venice every Sun. 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 utilized 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.
