COSTA Cruises Is NOT For Everyone... Here's Why

Is Costa Cruises the right cruise line for you? In today’s video, we break down exactly what to expect when sailing Costa — including ship atmosphere, dining style, service differences, late-night entertainment, cultural elements, European-style cruising, and the unique vibe Costa brings to the Mediterranean and beyond. After living on more than 60 cruise ships and treating each one like a destination of its own, we’re sharing our honest take on who will LOVE Costa Cruises — and who may feel like it’s not the right fit. We’ll discuss what Costa is known for, who typically sails Costa, how the onboard experience compares to North American cruise lines, what Costa does differently, what surprised us on Costa Fascinosa, and whether Costa is right for families, older travelers, first-time cruisers, and long-term guests. If you’re considering a Mediterranean cruise with Costa, this breakdown will help you make the right decision. Have questions or want help picking the perfect cruise line?
