Destinations are chosen to cover the major ports in the Western Mediterranean, giving a mix of city and small town experience. It is a wonderful product. I would sell this cruise to everyone.

People from all walks of life and ages can enjoy their time on a cruise. For me the highlight was the friendly crew on board, this made all the difference. They were very kind and went out of their way to help whenever we needed anything. They also provided excellent entertainment throughout the day. I thought the ship was good, clean, spacious and hygienic with all the comforts of home.

The balconies provided the advantage to enjoy the pure sea air and get the first views of land when approaching the ports. A truly fantastic experience!

It was a great experience for me and I enjoyed it to the maximum. The destinations — Rome, Naples, Palma De Mallorca, Valencia and Marseilles were very interesting. Each city had its uniqueness and gave us a good impression of what the Mediterranean has to offer.

This cruise is great value for money! There is no hassle when travelling from one city to another with luggage, all meals are included avoiding extra expenses and there is unlimited entertainment for all ages.

In addition, children below 18 years cruise for free throughout most of the year. The accomodation was excellent! All the comforts of home with the additional benefit of waking up in a new city, every day!

This was my first cruise and I now believe it is the only way to go! In seven days we visited six cities — it was pure Italian-style cruising!! I am 100% confident that Costa Cruises would be popular with holidaymakers from this region.

The product is fantastic, good food, amazing onboard entertainment, the newest ships and ultra-modern facilities. I would sell this to leisure travellers, honeymooners, families and corporate offices for their incentive and group travel.

The highlight was the daily shows in the onboard theatre. The Costa Magica performers provided a variety of entertainment from broad-way shows to cartoons catering to all ages and nationalities.

Although this was my first cruise it most certainly won’t be my last! With the variety of entertainment activities conducted by the staff you are never at a loss for things to do. I was truly amazed by everything! What is most important is the “value” factor because what you get for your money is more important than how much you pay.

The all-inclusive nature is quite unbeatable and it also means less planning if your client has a busy schedule. Once clients book a cruise the rest is easy. Rooms, meals and snacks, onboard activities, entertainment, and cruise transportation fees are all included, so they actually get to take a break and relax! This is what a typical vacation should be like and this is exactly what 90% of our clients require.
