I’m Michael Thamm, C.E.O. of Costa Crociere, and this is the group of
people who work together with the company’s other 19,000 employees
everyday, with the single goal of ensuring your enjoyment each time you
take a holiday with us. It’s my pleasure to present to you a catalogue that’s
been entirely renewed in terms of both graphics and contents, as the
result of a profound change within our company. I came to Costa in 2012,
but our company’s journey began all the way back in 1948, when its first
passenger ship, the Anna C, left Genoa for Buenos Aires. This exciting
journey has led us to become Europe’s leading cruise company, to launch
new and extraordinary ships, come come up with splendid itineraries and
unique innovations, as well as to face and overcome a series of extremely
difficult challenges. We have looked to our roots, and have decided to
focus upon the very best that Italy has to offer: passion, style, quality, and
hospitality. We constantly strive to provide all of our country’s excellence
on-board our ships, all over the world, because only Costa offers the
widest selection of holiday packages with a unique Italian style. Browse
our catalogue and choose the cruise that’s right for you: from our Mini-
holidays to our Around the World voyages, from the Mediterranean to the
Caribbean, from Northern Europe to the United Arab Emirates, and from
South America to the Far East and the Indian Ocean. You can even try one
of our new, slower-paced travel possibilities, with the neoCollection.
We’ll be waiting for you on-board, with all the best that Italy has to offer.
Happy travels!
Michael Thamm
The dawn of a new future lies on the horizon.
