A visit to a seventeenth century palace will surprise and excite you as much as a cruise on Costa Mediterranea: beautiful, refined and fascinating in every detail, it is a ship inspired by Italian elegance, with fine details and a wealth of works of art.

The sumptuous furnishings are complemented by modern services, large and comfortable cabins, most of which include a private balcony, plus a spacious, bright and gym with sea views.

At the heart of the ship, the Atrium - Marchera d'Argento Hall - stretches over ten decks. The main lounge, Teatro Osiris, is three decks high and seats 1,170 guests. A new design feature for this series of ships is the location of the show lounge/night club, here the Salone Giardino Isolabella, underneath the main lounge. The main restaurant, Ristorante Degli Argentieri, is two decks high and seats altogether some 1,300 guests.

The Club Medusa is a supper club located at the top of the ten-deck-high atrium and housed under a glass dome. The Perla del Lago and Posillipo Pizzeria behind the main pool area are casual Lido-areas with a variety of special dining areas.

There is a two-level health and fitness centre, the Ischia Spa, four swimming pools, one featuring a retractable dome, five whirlpools, a large casino and more than ten themed bars, lounges and public areas for activities and entertainment. In addition, there is a shopping area, a wedding chapel and large facilities for children and youngsters. There is also a library, a conference centre and a cascading water slide.
