Costa Favolosa

Caribbean Winters, Norwegian Summers and the Med in Between

From November to February, Costa Favolosa sails the Caribbean on round trips from Pointe-à-Pitre in Guadeloupe, Fort de France in Martinique and Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic. Each runs six or seven nights. Stops change between departures, but Antigua, Saint Kitts, Ocho Rios in Jamaica and Road Town on Tortola are among them. Round trips from Martinique start from £489pp*.

In March she heads back to Europe on a one-way voyage of 18 to 20 nights from Santo Domingo, ending in Savona, Barcelona or Marseille. Calls vary, though Santa Cruz de Tenerife and Tangiers have featured on the way across.

From May to August she runs 11- and 12-night round trips from Hamburg along the coast of Norway, sold through our Norway cruises search. Ports differ from one sailing to the next; Bergen, Ålesund, Tromsø and Honningsvåg are typical. In September she leaves Hamburg one way for the Western Mediterranean, 11 to 13 nights ending in Marseille, Savona or Rome, with calls such as Zeebrugge for Bruges, La Coruña, Cádiz and Málaga.

In March, April and November she also offers short breaks of two to four nights, round trips from Marseille and from Barcelona, from £239pp*. Savona is a typical call, alongside Barcelona or Marseille. Wherever she sails from, we book the flights, the hotel either side and the transfers with the cruise as one holiday.

Her sister ships include Costa Serena and Costa Pacifica, and our Costa Cruises page covers the rest of the line.

Pizza, Teppanyaki and Sunset Cocktails on Costa Favolosa

Beyond the included restaurants, Costa Favolosa’s paid dining leans Italian with a Japanese twist. Pummid’Oro Pizzeria, the Teppanyaki Restaurant and Archipelago – Edition I, a booked 12-course menu from three chefs, all charge à la carte.

Her own evening ritual is the Sunset Lounge Bar. It is a relaxed spot before or after dinner, with a new cocktail to try each night and the sun going down over the sea. Entry is free and drinks are charged separately.

Squok Club, Sport Courts and Port Planning

Families on Costa Favolosa get the Outdoor Squok Area, an open-air space built for parents and children to play together, included in the fare. The Squok Club runs activities for children aged three to eleven, the Squok Baby Area serves the youngest, and the Sport Area’s courts host football, volleyball, basketball and tennis.

Before each call, the My Land Shop brings the next port to life on interactive screens and tables. Its advisers help you choose a shore excursion and share tips for the day ashore. Browsing is free; excursions are charged separately.

Costa Favolosa Cabins and Deck Plans

Her suites come with their own dining room: suite guests have a reserved table every evening at the Élite Suite&Club Restaurant. A My Cruise fare lets you choose your cabin, so open the Costa Favolosa cabins and deck plans before you pick one.
