Costa Luminosa Cruise Ship

Scheduled to set sail in the spring of 2009, the Costa Luminosa will be the 13th ship in the Costa fleet and represents an innovative new phase for the company. Much smaller in design, the Costa Luminosa will offer new amenities such as a championship golf simulator and a roller-skating rink, and will feature the highest number of balconies in the fleet. The Costa Luminosa will be similar to its sister ship, the Costa Serena, which was launched in 2007, but smaller in size.

 

The Costa Luminosa weighs 92,700 tons, and will have capacity for 2,260 passengers in her 1,130 cabins. Of these, a total of 772 will have balconies, representing 68% - the highest percentage in the fleet. The ships' interior will be decorated with elegant finishes and fittings, featuring materials such as mother-of-pearl, ebony and mosaic. There are plans for a Samsara Spa on the Costa Luminosa, featuring the largest wellness centre on all cruise ships, and a retractable magrodome which extends over 2 swimming pools. Other innovative leisure facilities on board the Costa Luminosa include an 18-hole golf course simulator, a roller-skating rink and a Grand Prix race car driving simulator.   

 

Entertainment on the Costa Luminosa will include the Phoenix Theatre, the Altair Disco and the Vega Casino, as well as a giant cinema screen. Dining will take place in the Taurus Restaurant, with bars such as the Rigel Cigar Lounge and the Grand Electra Bar offering plenty of fun and relaxation in the evenings.
