Costa Mediterranea
The Costa Mediterranea has a unique personality inspired by Italy's 17th and 18th century palazzi and castles, while the decks are dedicated to mythology in the Mediterranean Sea -a crossroads of cultures and civilizations. The spectacular Maschera d'Argento Atrium spans 10 decks high and features a sculpture of dancers suspended mid-air. The interior spaces on board this Costa fleet ship are truly an expression of an inimitable style.

Dress Code
Daytime: Daytime dress on a Costa cruise is
casual, such as light, cotton clothing or swimwear with cover-up. Tennis shoes
or low heeled walking shoes are recommended for exploring ports of call. While
most shore excursions do not have dress codes, some tours specifically prohibit
shorts and sleeveless shirts and require ladies to wear knee-length skirts or
slacks. Additionally, for those guests traveling to Northern Europe, sweaters,
lightweight jackets, raincoats and hats are also recommended.
Evening: Your Costa Cruise will feature 2 formal nights on 7- night cruises
where men may choose from tuxedos or dark suits and ladies wear evening or
cocktail dresses. The number of formal nights may vary depending on cruise
length and itinerary.
In the Caribbean, two nights will be informal evenings where men are requested
to wear sports coats while ladies wear resort attire. On the remaining three
casual nights, ladies wear casual resort attire while men may dress more
comfortably in dress shirts and slacks with or without sports coats. (One of
these casual nights is a Roman Bacchanal to which you may wish to wear a custom
toga or accessorize your bed sheet/toga). Resort attire is the norm on the other
evenings.
Age Restrictions
Caribbean: Costa offers group baby-sitting for children age 3 (out of diapers) and older. The babysitting schedules can be found in the Daily Program distributed onboard (private in-stateroom babysitting is not available). There will also be two 'Parents Night Out' during the cruise where parents have the opportunity to enjoy the evening worry free while their children will be entertained with special activities, including their own buffet or pizza party. Best of all these special nights are offered at no extra charge.
Costa's In Port Children's Program
Caribbean: Costa's In Port program offers children a variety of activities onboard to entertain them. Parents will receive information pertaining to scheduled activities at the beginning of the cruise. Ask about specially priced shore excursions for children 12 years and under.
Europe: Costa offers a comprehensive children's program throughout our Europe cruise season. The months of July and August are the most popular traveling times for families with children. Activities vary by ship and itinerary.
Minors Policy
Guests under the age of 21 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. On
selected seasonal departures, guests 21 to 24 years old must have one person at
