About Costa Pacifica

Costa Pacifica is the 114,500-ton Concordia Class ship Costa calls its Ship of Music. Every deck is named for a famous musician, the décor is a mix of lights and color, and it was the first cruise ship built with an onboard recording studio. It carries about 3,000 guests at double occupancy in 1,504 staterooms, with 521 balcony cabins, six restaurants and snack bars, eleven bars and lounges, the three-level Teatro Stardust, a two-deck disco, three pools and the 6,000-square-meter Solemio Spa.

A 2019 drydock in Marseille added Pizzeria Pummid’Oro, Gelateria Amarillo and digital signage, and Costa has since layered on its newest dining: Archipelago Edition I, a 12-course Sea and Land tasting menu by chefs Bruno Barbieri, Hélène Darroze and Ángel León, the Sushino at Costa sushi bistro, The Salty Beach poolside street food with Sal de Riso pastries, an Aperol Spritz Bar and Wine Bar Rick’s. The Squok Club, Teen Zone and an outdoor Squok play area keep families busy.

For winter 2026-27 Costa moved Pacifica from its planned Canary Islands program to the Western Mediterranean after a shipyard stay in December 2026: 7-night loops from Civitavecchia (Rome), Savona, Marseille and Barcelona to Naples, Palermo and Tunis, plus longer cruises toward southern Europe and North Africa. From April 2027 it shifts to the Eastern Mediterranean with Greek Islands and Turkey cruises from Athens and Istanbul. It suits value-minded travelers who want an Italian big-ship experience with drive-up ports.

How big is Costa Pacifica?
Costa Pacifica is 114,500 gross tons and about 951 feet long, with 1,504 staterooms, 521 of them with balconies, and a crew of about 1,100. It carries about 3,000 guests at double occupancy and up to 3,780. It is a Concordia Class ship, a sister to Costa Serena, Costa Favolosa and Costa Fascinosa, and entered service in June 2009.
Where does Costa Pacifica sail in 2026 and 2027?
Through autumn 2026 and, after a shipyard stay in December 2026, right through winter 2026-27 Costa Pacifica sails 7-night Western Mediterranean cruises from Civitavecchia (Rome), Savona, Marseille and Barcelona calling at Naples, Palermo and Tunis, plus longer cruises toward southern Europe and North Africa. From April 2027 it moves to Athens and Istanbul for Greek Islands and Turkey cruises. Costa dropped its planned Canary Islands and Middle East programs for this winter.
What is the Ship of Music theme?
Costa designed Pacifica around music. Each deck carries the name of a famous musician, the public rooms mix lights and color, and the ship was the first built with an onboard recording studio where guests can record a track. The main theater is Teatro Stardust, the two-deck disco is Fever and the ballroom is Wien Wien.
Which staterooms are best on Costa Pacifica?
A balcony cabin of around 220 square feet on the upper cabin decks is the best choice for a Mediterranean week with daily ports. Spa cabins by the Solemio Spa add thermal-area access. The Grand Suites, around 345 square feet plus a terrace, come with a private butler, a reserved suite restaurant, a welcome bottle and an in-cabin whirlpool tub.
What is included in the fare on Costa Pacifica?
The fare includes the two main dining rooms, Buffet Paloma, The Salty Beach street food, theater shows, pools, the kids and teen clubs and the Technogym gym. Archipelago, Sushino at Costa, Pizzeria Pummid’Oro, Club Blue Moon, drinks, gelato, spa treatments and Wi-Fi are extra unless covered by a package, and Costa adds a nightly service charge. SmartCruiser adds bonus onboard credit on sailings where Costa allows it, not available booking direct.
Is Costa Pacifica good for families?
Yes. Children 3 to 11 have the Squok Club with babysitting, teens have the Teen Zone, and there are three pools, waterslides, an outdoor Squok play area and an arcade. Interior cabins sleep up to four, Italian kids’ menus and pizza are easy wins, and the short port-to-port Mediterranean loops keep sea days to a minimum.
