 Ship Description
The Costa Fortuna is dedicated to the legendary Italian liners that provided regular passenger services between Italy and the Americas. The public areas on the ship bear the names and the years of entry into service of some of the most famous and elegant Italian ocean liners. For example, the ship's theatre, which extends over three decks, is named after the Rex launched in 1932, two of the restaurants are called "Ristorante Raffaello 1965" and "Ristorante Michelangelo 1965", while the main bar is the "Gran Bar Conte di Savoia 1932".
These historic passenger ships provided inspiration for the American architect Joe Farcus in the styling and design of Costa Fortuna's public areas. In addition, there will be scale models of some of these transatlantic liners on board. A 6-metre version of the Michelangelo will be exhibited at the entrance to the restaurant of the same name, while a 3-metre model of the Rex built in 1932 will grace the theatre. Other memorabilia from the legendary Italian liners includes copies of posters and advertisements from the time - mainly the 1920s and 1930s - which will be displayed in some of the public areas.
For more recent history, on the other hand, just glance up at the ceiling of the main lobby, called "Atrio Costa", where you will be able to admire 26 two-to-three metre models of all the ships that have been members at one time or another of the Costa fleet: a tribute to the first (and still the leading) Italian cruise company. The passenger decks of Costa Fortuna are named after some of the European and American ports where Costa's liners used to make stopovers.
