Costa Fortuna cruise ship

Full Board Cruise

Costa Fortuna is the ideal place to relax and unwind between your explorations onshore. It’s a sophisticated ship with a high level of comfort and luxurious bars and lounges where you can enjoy whiling away an hour or two.

Its spa, pools, fitness facilities and beauty salon will also help you take good care of body and soul.

Lifestyle onboard your Costa Fortuna Cruise ship

Costa Fortuna has plenty of room on board for everyone to enjoy doing their own thing, whether you’re in the mood for a little activity or you just want time to chill out and relax.

Your cruise ship’s impressive lido deck is so spacious you’ll never have trouble finding your own place to sit and soak up the sun. When the weather’s less kind, head for the stern of the ship where the pool is protected by a retractable roof.

There are lots of opportunities to socialise with your fellow cruisers and you’ll have no problem finding a quiet corner to relax in Costa Fotuna’s smart bars and restaurants. If you feel like crashing out in your cabin you’ll find all the home comforts you need, including interactive TV.

Daytime cruising on Costa Fortuna

You choose how you’d like to spend your time on Costa Fortuna and your cruise ship staff will attend to your every need. Start the day with a few laps around the jogging track, taking in the spectacular sea views. Enjoy your morning coffee alfresco and maybe take a dip before a lazy lunch.

If you’ve still got the energy, challenge a fellow guest to a game of tennis or practise your slam dunks in the basketball nets. Head off for a fitness class, before unwinding with a beauty treatment at the salon or a massage at the spa.

Of course, you may just want to pop down to your cruise ship’s library, grab a book and settle in at your favourite café or bar.

Your evening cruise entertainment

In the evenings, your favourite daytime venues are transformed with a variety of lively entertainment. Among the many fun pastimes on offer are:

  • Conte Rosso Piano Bar
  • Conte Verdi Cocktail Lounge
  • Neptunia Casino
  • Rex Theatre
  • Vulcania Disco

Dining on Costa Fortuna

For fabulous food in a casual atmosphere The Restaurant Buffet Cristoforo Colombo extends out and around two pool decks and is open all evening, serving beautifully presented and tempting dishes.

Otherwise, why not slip on a suit and tie or a little cocktail dress and enjoy the fine dining in either the Michelangelo or Raffaello Restaurants. Savour the delicious culinary creations of your cruise ship’s master chefs with classic dishes from the Mediterranean and beyond.

Mykonos, Greece Santorini, Greece Rhodes, Greece Dubrovnik, Croatia

Your Cruise - 7 nights

Your first destination is Bari, Italy. Bari is an old city that has a rich history which you can absorb as you visit the remains of the civilisations that governed Bari through the ages.

Next stop us Katakolon and Olympia, the historic home of the Olympic Games. Here you can visit recent excavations such as Zeus' temple as well as the Olympia Stadium which holds an impressive audience of up to 45,000 spectators.

One of the Cyclades islands, Santorini is a spectacular jewel of the Aegean and is the next destination on your itinerary. Be sure to visit Oia, with it's network of narrow marble-paved alleys, lined with yellow and blue domed houses and extraordinary views out to sea.

Your next destination is Mykonos; one of the most picturesque - and popular - of the Cyclades archipelago. Popular sites are the local art museum and the archaeological museum and. Grilled fish, a Mykonos speciality, is also highly recommended.

Your penultimate destination is Rhodes, a place full of history, legends and myths. Split into two sections, the northern part is modern and devoted to new tourist structures and the southern part is clearly medieval.

Your final destination is the charming port of Dubrovnik. . It has been extensively restored and some would say is more beautiful now than ever. The most attractive section of Dubrovnik is the old city, Stari Grad, lined with cobbled streets, fountains, museums and churches.

Water Taxi Transfer

Water Taxi Water Taxi

Rather than go round the outskirts of Venice by coach, you'll join a water taxi instead which will take you through the smaller canals into the centre of Venice.

So you'll see some of the sights before going round to the cruise port where you'll sail right past your ship, the Norwegian Gem.

This scenic transfer takes up to an hour, and is rather like a tour that people would usually pay for!
