Costa Europa Cruise Ship

Costa Europa Cruise Ship - Older ship, classic cruise experience 

Originally the Homeric, the Costa Europa joined the Costa fleet in 2002, and now offers cruises around Europe travelling to destinations such as the Canary Islands, the Black Sea and Egypt. After she was acquired by the company, the Costa Europa underwent a multi-million pound refurbishment including being extended by 121 feet to add capacity, and now boasts an occupancy of 1,494 passengers. The Costa Europa is one of the older ships in the fleet, and although not quite as glamorous as some of the newer vessels, is a classically elegant ship with a definite Italian style and feel.
