Costa neoRiviera
You can experience a new way of traveling when you take a Costa neoRiviera cruise. Costa neoRiviera is a ship that escorts travelers to more intimate locals than the average ocean liner.

Costa neoRiviera is a luxury vessel that offers some of the most memorable vacations one can have. Read more […] -
The Costa Concordia: Ship Raised (Photos), Human Remains Found, and Other Updates
The sinking of the Costa Concordia was by far the worst ship disaster in recent memory. It captured the world’s attention, and for good reason. Modern cruise ships are remarkably safe, and even if they have problems, which they occasionally do (just ask Carnival), 32 people don’t die as a consequence. It is therefore not surprising that people have been following the Costa Concordia story closely, especially in recent days, during which the ship was raised successfully and human remains were found. However, there is so much currently happening with the Costa Concordia – each day seemingly brings new updates – that we thought we’d call your attention to the major stories. Below is all you need to know about the news swirling around the Costa Concordia, and we’ve also included some awesome pictures of the raising of the ship for good measure. Read more […] -
The Raising of the Costa Concordia, to be Attempted Monday
If you follow cruise industry news, or if you follow the news at all, you’ll probably know plenty about the Costa Concordia disaster. You’ll recall that the Costa Concordia, a cruise ship that could hold over 4,000 passengers, crashed into rocks near the Isola del Giglio, Italy, an accident causing 32 deaths, because its captain, Francesco Schettino, sailed too close to shore. However, this tragedy happened nearly two years ago, and you probably haven’t heard much about the ship since then. What happened to the Costa Concordia? Do the waters off the coast Giglio now have a permanent shipwreck site, or are they going raise the Costa Concordia and get it out of there? At last, there is some new information on this front, and the plan, by no means guaranteed to be successful, is to remove the ship from its current, tenuous resting place, possibly as soon as this Monday. Below are the most recent updates about the Costa Concordia. Read more […] -
Costa Cruises (Costa Crociere): An Overview
Costa Cruises, or Costa Crociere in Italian (it’s based in Genoa, Italy), is not a cruise line that has escaped our attention. We’ve written about the Costa cruise line several times in the past, both explaining general features of the cruise line and covering the headline-making incidents its cruise ships have been involved with recently. The latter have dominated most conversations about Costa Cruises over the last year or so, so we thought we should look at the basic facts of company, explaining again the cruise line behind the unfortunate recent incidents.
