Description

The first Destiny-class ship built for Costa Cruises, the Costa Fortuna was perhaps the most beautiful ship in the Costa fleet. Its interior design paid homage to the history of Italian liners and Costa's passenger ships.
When it was intended for the Asian market part of its original fittings were removed to make way for Chinese-style decorations, compromising the original scaffolding of its architectural style. A new interior refit is planned for its return to Europe.

Costa Fortuna meets the Southern Caribbean Sun

I liked

Fantastic southern carribean route , smaller ship in size and passenger capacity .

I didn't like

The ship is 20yrs plus without a major refurb a few new areas but only one speciality restuarant buffet very repetative

Comment

Great crew and suite stewards and butler . Wonderful cruise director in Sabrina . The evening shows and events were well attended and always of a excellent standard. The Costa club events well structured and attended. The Club restaurant managed and the waiters fantastic. The destination cuisine nightly was well thought through and well presented.

Le tour complet de la Méditerranée

I liked

I didn't like

Comment

Une croisière de 15 jours à bord du Costa Fortuna à la découverte de la Méditerranée occidentale et orientale. Nous avions déjà voyagé avec Costa et nous avons toujours été satisfaits. Cette fois-ci, je dois dire que la croisière a répondu à nos attentes. Le navire est l'un des classiques de Costa, mais il est bien entretenu et surtout très propre. Le personnel à bord est toujours actif pour que tout brille et que les clients reçoivent tout ce dont ils ont besoin. En ce qui concerne les restaurants à bord, la qualité et la variété sont toujours présentes, et les restaurants spécialisés offrent des expériences culinaires très bonnes. Quant à l'itinéraire, nous avions déjà vu la partie occidentale, donc nous n'avons pas pris d'excursions là-bas, tandis que pour la Grèce, nous avons participé à certaines excursions et avons été pleinement satisfaits.

Amazing Experience

I liked

Nicely cleaned cabins and helpful staff

I didn't like

Although spa services were free, but spa was always crowded.

Comment

I really enjoyed cruising with my family on Costa Fortuna. It was a delightful experience, which was much enhanced by the well-trained staff, great food, and cleanliness. Moreover, the boarding process was without any hassle and the staff was very helpful and courteous in that regard.

Avec Costa Fortuna en Méditerranée

Comment

Costa Fortuna est un navire magnifique, même s'il commence à avoir plusieurs années. Les intérieurs sont beaux et avec un excellent entretien. Le buffet est très bon, alors que les restaurants n’ont pas beaucoup de choix et de qualité.

La nave dei transatlantici

I liked

Pulizia e cortesia

I didn't like

Comment

Nell'ottobre del 2015 ho avuto il piacere di navigare a bordo della 'vecchia versione' di Costa Fortuna. Il punto di forza era senza ombra di dubbio lo scenografico atrio centrale padroneggiato da una serie di modellini che ripercorrevano la storia della compagnia dagli albori fino al 2003. Per quanto riguarda l'esperienza in sé è stata una mini crociera rilassante e molto gradevole contornata da cibo di qualità, equipaggio sempre disponibile e pulizia in ogni dove. Recentemente ho avuto la possibilità di visitare nuovamente Costa Fortuna dopo i lavori di ammodernamento avvenuti prima del suo ritorno nel mediterraneo e devo dire che, nonostante fossi partito molto prevenuto, la nave (che ho sempre reputato una delle più belle della flotta Costa), non ha per nulla perso il suo fascino originale.

Ristorazione

Comment

Mini crociera primaverile, per uno stacco con gli amici. Prezzo buono, servizio a bordo buono, cabina pulitissima e sempre in ordine. Non abbiamo mangiato benissimo al ristorante, con piatti a volte freddi a volte insapori. Nel complesso ci siamo divertiti e per un 3 giorni così la nave va bene.

Crociera di Natale 2003

I liked

Affascinante

I didn't like

Non ne trovai

Comment

Nave nuovissima, nel 2003, con bellissimi arredi dedicati ai transatlantici. La struttura di nave risultava attuale e performante, nonostante il disagio della cucina fra i due ristoranti. Esperienza positiva in tutto, era ancora una qualità notevole con servizi e cortesia in ogni angolo della nave. Itinerario classico alle Canarie ma sempre molto piacevole su una bella nave. La mosta itinerante dei modelli di transatlantici aggiungeva grande valore a questa nave.

Oltre le Colonne d'Ercole con Costa Fortuna

Nave adatta a tutti. Bellissimo e spazioso lido esterno dove poter prendere il sole.

Nessuno

Comment

E' la nave che senza dubbio mi è rimasta nel cuore. Chi ha avuto la fortuna di poter viaggiare con lei e di conoscerla ai tempi di tutto il suo splendore, non avrà sicuramente dimenticato il suo splendido atrio. Un vero peccato aver smantellato tutto.

Crociera in estremo Oriente, la nostra prima volta. I luoghi semplicemente meravigliosi. Costa Fortuna ci è piaciuta molto. Alcuni disservizi non gravi si sono verificati nel ristorante e in cabina ma si è risolto sempre tutto. Pulizia eccellente, complessivamente ottima esperienza.

Nave meravigliosa per una mini crociera di novembre. Servizio buono, tanta gentilezza e cordialità. Peccato per la cabina alta in corrispondenza dell'atrio che, nonostante alla sera si chiudano delle porte, rimane un pò rumorosa. Nel complesso comunque buona esperienza.
