Costa Concordia
|
The centerpiece of Costa Cruises' new flagship, Costa Concordia, is the Samsura Spa, the largest of its kind at sea at nearly 20,500 square feet. Extending over two decks, the spa includes an indoor pool in which guests can enjoy thalassotherapy sessions, with air jets that massage the body in ionized seawater at a temperature of 91 degrees Fahrenheit. The eclectic interior design of the Concordia draws from architectural styles across Europe and accommodates 5 restaurant options, as well as 13 bars and lounges. Racing enthusiasts will enjoy the Formula 1 driving simulator, while bibliophiles can relax in the Tatra Library. The top deck of the Concordia features two swimming pools with sliding glass roofs, to ensure an ideal Mediterranean vacation even in mid-winter. On cruises that depart during the months of March and April, Costa requires that at least one passenger in each cabin be 25 or older.
