Costa Favolosa

Costa Favolosa is a large Concordia-class cruise ship operated by Italian cruise line Costa Cruises. Constructed by Fincantieri at its Marghera shipyard in Italy and delivered in July 2011, she represents a key vessel in the line's modern fleet expansion. Her name, derived from the Italian word for "fabulous," was chosen through a global competition that gathered over 42,000 online votes. Hosting around 3,800 guests across 1,507 cabins, the ship combines a fairytale-inspired aesthetic with state-of-the-art resort facilities.

Public spaces feature an impressive array of activities, art installations, and relaxation zones. The vessel showcases over 400 original works of art alongside 6,000 fine prints. Recreations span a Grand Prix driving simulator, an outdoor Aqua Park with a pirate galleon, a 4D theater, and a dedicated teens' club complete with a private dance floor. Sun decks house multiple pool complexes, including an area with a giant movie screen and a retractable glass roof for all-weather swimming. For wellness, the Asian-themed Samsara Spa offers extensive therapeutic treatments, saunas, and steam rooms. Multilingual Pepper humanoid robots are also stationed throughout the public decks to assist travelers with venue details and daily event programs.

Dining choices encompass flexible marketplace venues, traditional dining rooms, and specialized culinary spots. Guests can dine at primary formal venues like Ristorante Duca di Borgogna and Ristorante Duca d'Orleans, or visit the self-service buffet, which transforms into a waiter-service pizzeria in the evening. Menus feature Destination Dishes created by world-renowned chefs, giving passengers a taste of the regional culinary traditions corresponding to upcoming ports of call.

Accommodations are spread across 16 categories, with nearly 40 percent of cabins offering private step-out verandas. Options include 103 specialized Samsara Spa cabins and suites with direct spa access, alongside exclusive veranda apartments equipped with private outdoor Jacuzzis.
