Costa Deliziosa

Summers in Venice, Winters on the Far Side of the World

From May to September, Costa Deliziosa sails the Mediterranean on 7- and 14-night round trips from Marghera (Venice). Calls change from one departure to the next, but Corfu, Kotor, Bari and Zadar are typical. The 14-night Mediterranean cruises can reach as far as Santorini and Mykonos. In April and May she also runs one-way sailings of 6 or 7 nights from Piraeus (Athens) to Venice.

Early in the year she is on the other side of the world. In January and February she leaves Sydney on one-way voyages of 67 to 74 nights, ending in Barcelona, Marseille or Rome. Tokyo, Hong Kong and Cairns are among the ports she may visit. In February, voyages of 27 to 49 nights leave Hong Kong and head west to Cape Town, Barcelona or Savona. Stops vary, but Singapore, Colombo and Malé can feature.

Wherever she sails from, we book the flights out and home, the hotel either side and the transfers with the cruise as one holiday. Other Costa ships on our site include Costa Diadema, and the rest of the fleet is on our Costa Cruises page.

Pizza, Gelato and a Twelve-Course Tasting Menu

Her paid tables lean Italian. Working pizzaiolos run Pummid’Oro Pizzeria, serving classic and gourmet pizzas with music and cocktails alongside. Gelateria Amarillo sells gelato and handcrafted chocolate truffles for a sweet break at any hour. At Archipelago – Edition I, three chefs share a twelve-course menu of sea and land dishes over two hours. The tasting menu needs a reservation, and all three charge separately from your fare. By the pool, burgers, panini and pastries from the Sal de Riso patisserie of the Amalfi Coast are sold street-food style.

Wine Bars, Sunset Cocktails and the Squok Club

Evenings on Costa Deliziosa tend to begin at the Vanilla Wine Bar, a relaxed room for a glass of red or white before dinner. The Sunset Bar comes later, with sea views and a different cocktail every evening. Drinks are charged per serving unless your fare covers them. The All Inclusive fare adds an Italian drinks package to everything in My Cruise, which already includes full board and port charges.

Live shows run every evening and are included in the fare. For families, the Squok Club offers age-appropriate activities for children aged 3 to 11, also included, while parents explore the rest of the ship.

Does Costa Deliziosa Sail a World Cruise?

Yes. Each January she leaves San Francisco on a world cruise of 97 to 100 nights, finishing in Barcelona, Marseille or Savona. Stops vary, but Honolulu, Suva and Tokyo can feature. In November she sails the other way, leaving Marseille or Barcelona for Sydney or Hong Kong on voyages of 63 to 91 nights. New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco are among the ports she may visit along the way.

Costa Deliziosa Cabins and Deck Plans

Suite guests on Costa Deliziosa dine in their own Élite Suite&Club Restaurant, with a table reserved every evening. If that table appeals, her cabins and deck plans show which grades are suites and where they sit on the ship.
