About Costa Fascinosa
Costa Fascinosa is a Costa Cruises cruise ship of the Concordia class, in service since 2012. She measures 113,321 gross tons and carries 3,780 guests with a crew of 1,100. She sails Mediterranean, Caribbean itineraries. We rate her 3.0 out of 5.
Costa Fascinosa is the last Concordia-class ship to be built, delivered from Fincantieri's Marghera yard in spring 2012, four months after the loss of its sister Costa Concordia. At about 113,000 tons and 3,780 guests, it was Costa's flagship until Costa Diadema arrived in 2014. A 2024 refit added an Aperol Spritz bar, a Sunset bar and a teppanyaki restaurant. For most of the year it sails seven-night Western Mediterranean loops that board in Savona, La Seyne-sur-Mer near Toulon, Marseille and Civitavecchia, and in winter it crosses to the Caribbean for cruises from La Romana in the Dominican Republic and Pointe-a-Pitre in Guadeloupe.
