Venice

Home of poignant romance, Venice is the city of water par excellence, also known as La Serenissima.

The port of Venice and the city itself looks out towards the Adriatic Sea. The city of the Doges is situated in the middle of a lagoon, has more canals than roads and boasts incredible beauty and a unique charm derived from centuries of history. The best way to see the city and to discover and admire the palaces and churches, is to travel along the canals in a gondola. This will take you to Piazza San Marco, the site of the Doge's Palace, a jewel of Venetian architecture. Alternatively, art lovers can explore the Pinault Foundation in the Palazzo Grassi, before continuing with the cruise in the Mediterranean.

Not to be missed:

• Basilica of San Marco

• Doge's Palace

• Accademia Museum

Sustainable Food Experience

Creation of a sustainable on-board nutrition model, including promoting a greater awareness of the value of and respect for good food. New gastronomic offerings (over 500 recipes). Introduction of the concept of “reusing” certain ingredients in recipes. Planning new menus oriented towards seasonality and proximity. Around 15% of the food is sourced locally at the ports of call.

Capitalising the waste value

Supports the recycling of materials produced on board (including plastic, glass, and aluminium) at ports and with consortiums. Costa promotes the Alliance for the Circular Economy Manifesto and represents the industry at an institutional level in the creation of a model of excellence. In scope, two projects to enable glass and plastic recycling while creating shared value.
