Wellness seekers will enjoy a Costa cruise, particularly on those ships equipped with Samsara Spa, an Asian-inspired wellness facility. Special Samsara Cabins, located in an exclusive area of the ship, offer in-cabin breakfast, 24-hour room service, the exclusive, healthy Samsara Restaurant and in-room amenities including a purifying shower filter, aromatic essence diffuser, scales and specialty teas. Other Costa ships boast a fully equipped Wellness Center and guests enjoy onboard fitness facilities, group classes and one-on-one training sessions. A Beauty Salon and Barbor Shop offer styling services, and active shore tours mean cruisers can find their fitness fix off the boat as well.
On Costa Deliziosa, 52 staterooms have direct access to the spa. The Samsara Spa is 11,500 square feet on two levels with a gym, thalassotherapy, a Turkish Bath and a UVA-ray solarium.
Of course, Costa doesn’t forget its mini cruisers. Entertainment staff is available every day from 9 a.m.–noon, from 3–6 p.m. and from 9–11:30 p.m., to entertain kids with games and activities so parents can relax. The free service is divided into four clubs: Mini, from 3–6 years; Maxi, from 7–11 years; Teen Junior, from 12–14 years; and Teen, from 15–17.
Multiple fun, innovative programs cater to teen cruisers. Onboard Costa Deliziosa, teens enjoy Etoiles Cinema 4D, featuring cutting-edge technology, amazing special effects, unique thrills and a sensory experience.
The fun doesn’t end when cruisers step off the boat. Costa’s shore excursions provide insight into the history, culture and landscape of the region and its people. Tailor-made offerings allow passengers full independence. Eco-friendly activities are also available, combining the fun of a cruise with an environmentally friendly way of travel, supporting both the environment and the local people.
