About Costa Fascinosa

Costa Fascinosa was delivered by Fincantieri in May 2012 as the last of Costa’s Concordia-class ships and is a tribute to theater and cinema: each deck is named for a classic such as Aida, Tosca or Zhivago. At about 114,500 gross tons with 1,506 staterooms, 524 of them with balconies, and roughly 3,000 guests at double occupancy, she is a mid-sized Costa ship with four pools including one under a retractable glass roof, five whirlpools and the two-deck Solemio Spa.

Costa counts six restaurants and snack bars and 12 bars and lounges. Dinner can be the 12-course Archipelago menu by Bruno Barbieri, Hélène Darroze and Ángel León, a reserved table in Il Gattopardo, sushi at Sushino at Costa, pizza at Pummid’Oro or burgers at The Salty Beach street-food bar by the pool. The Blue Velvet Piano Bar, a three-tier theater, a casino, a 4D cinema and the Formula 1 simulator at Scuderia Costa fill the evenings, and Starlink Wi-Fi keeps you connected.

From December 2026 to early March 2027 Costa Fascinosa sails seven-night Caribbean cruises from La Romana in the Dominican Republic, also joinable in Pointe-à-Pitre, calling at Catalina Island, Puerto Plata, Cabo Rojo and Grand Turk. In spring 2027 she opens a new seven-night Italy and France itinerary from Civitavecchia, Toulon and Savona or Genoa with La Spezia, Salerno and Messina, then sails Spain, France and Italy all summer with Ibiza, Valencia, Palma and Olbia.

Costa Fascinosa questions we answer every day

How big is Costa Fascinosa?

Costa Fascinosa is about 114,500 gross tons and 952 feet long, with 1,506 staterooms, 524 of them with balconies, and a crew of about 1,100. Capacity is about 3,000 guests at double occupancy and up to 3,780. Delivered by Fincantieri in 2012, she is the last Concordia-class ship and the sister of Costa Favolosa, mid-sized by today’s standards.

Where does Costa Fascinosa sail in 2026 and 2027?

Fall 2026 is short Western Mediterranean cruises from Savona, Marseille and Barcelona. From December 2026 to early March 2027 she sails seven-night Caribbean cruises from La Romana, also joinable in Pointe-à-Pitre, with Catalina Island, Puerto Plata, Cabo Rojo and Grand Turk. April and May 2027 bring a new Italy and France week from Civitavecchia, Toulon and Savona or Genoa, and summer 2027 adds Ibiza, Valencia, Palma and Olbia.

What is new on Costa Fascinosa for 2027?

Costa added a new seven-night Mediterranean itinerary for early April to late May 2027 that pairs La Spezia, Civitavecchia, Salerno, Messina and Toulon with Genoa or Savona, plus an eight-night version in mid-May that adds Ajaccio in Corsica. Costa’s Sea Destination events on these cruises include stargazing in the Ligurian Sea, a sunset party off Capri’s Faraglioni and a sunset reception near Stromboli.

Which cabins are best on Costa Fascinosa?

A Balcony cabin is the pick for the Caribbean island hops and the Italian coast, and only about 40 percent of cabins have one, so book early. Spa cabins near the Solemio Spa bundle thermal access, Suites add a butler, a welcome bottle and a reserved restaurant table, and Interior cabins that sleep three or four keep family fares low.

What is included in the fare on Costa Fascinosa?

The fare covers the main restaurants and Il Gattopardo, the buffet, theater shows, pools, the Squok Club and the Technogym gym. Costa adds a nightly service charge, and specialty dining such as Archipelago, Sushino and The Salty Beach, drinks, Wi-Fi, the 4D cinema and spa treatments are extra unless packaged. SmartCruiser adds bonus onboard credit on sailings where Costa allows it, not available when you book direct.

Is Costa Fascinosa good for families?

Yes for families who like a European atmosphere. Children 3 to 11 have the Squok Club, toddlers the Squok Baby Area and teens their own club, with a kids’ Aqua Park and fairy-tale castle, four pools, the 4D cinema and the Formula 1 simulator for sea days. Many cabins sleep four, and the La Romana winter route puts Costa’s private Catalina Island beach day on every cruise.
