Costa Cruises has partnered with some of Italy’s most popular food and beverage brands as part of its ‘Italy’s Finest’ campaign to provide guests with a more immersive Italian cruise experience.

To enhance the onboard culinary experience, the line has partnered with Barilla pasta, redesigned its menus with the help of Michelin-star chef Fabio Cucchelli, and will add pizzerias to its ships. Each of the 14 authentic pies will be baked by a pizzaioli, a graduate of the Accademia Italiana della Pizza.

Meanwhile, Costa has partnered with coffee brand Illy Caffé and Ferrari wine while guests can enjoy a traditional Italian aperitivo of cocktails and antipasti in the ships’ bars.

In addition, the recently refurbished Costa neoClassica offers a prosecco bar, while the recently launched Costa Diadema’s Vinoteca Gran Duca di Toscana wine bar boasts a menu of 80 labels from more than 50 Italian wineries selected in collaboration with the Italian Sommeliers Association.

Costa will also offer themed parties such as La Notte in Maschera and La Notte Bianca that celebrate two Italian traditions: the masked Venetian carnival and a white night festival. In the onboard theatres, guests will find more Italian-style shows such as Sapori d’Italia – flavours of Italy – that highlight Italian music, art, opera and cinema.
