History

  • 2009: Année de construction

The world's first cruise ship with a recording studio

The Costa Pacifica entered service in May 2009. 289 metres, thirteen decks, 1507 cabins, 3014 travellers at double occupancy. The whole ship is decorated on a music theme, and she was the world's first cruise ship to carry a real recording studio. It is not a brochure legend: the studio exists and it works.

Last refit in 2022. The point to check before choosing a cabin fits in one sentence: fewer than forty per cent of the cabins on this class have a balcony. That is low for a hull of this generation.

A winter that changed destination

This ship was to spend the 2026-2027 winter in the Canaries and Madeira. The redeployment decided in March 2026, after the line cancelled its Middle East programme, brought her back to the western Mediterranean with new longer itineraries. Three hundred and thirty-four departure dates sit with us.

The other ships in the fleet

The Costa Serena and the Costa Favolosa share her hull exactly. The Costa Smeralda is the liquefied natural gas ship. The Costa Deliziosa has the best ratio of cabins with a balcony.

A fleet halved in six years

Costa operated sixteen ships in 2019. It operates eight since mid-September 2026. That is not a slowdown, it is a contraction: seven hulls were sold or transferred to other brands, one was scrapped in Turkey, and the latest departure dates from this month.

The house is Genoese and old. Founded in 1854 in olive oil and textiles, it moved to shipping in 1924 and to carrying passengers in 1947. An American group bought half of it in 1997 and all of it in 2000. It has since belonged to a set of nine cruise brands, where its position has clearly weakened: three of its ships were transferred to the group's more profitable North American brand.

A word about 13 January 2012, because there is no reason to skirt it. The Costa Concordia struck rocks off the island of Giglio with 4252 people aboard. The toll: 33 dead, including a diver killed during the salvage. The captain was sentenced to sixteen years. The whole industry drew from it the muster drill now compulsory before sailing.

What the fare covers, and the item that surprises

Included: the sea passage, the cabin, meals in the main restaurants and the buffet, evening shows, daily activities, the children's club and port taxes. Cabin service is in the fare depending on the rate chosen.

Here is the item that surprises. A hotel service charge is added to your onboard account every day. The North American contract calls it mandatory, it is debited automatically, and the sums are pooled and shared among the staff. You may ask for it to be adjusted at the front desk during the cruise; once ashore, it is final.

Not included: the flight, insurance, drinks outside meals, excursions, speciality restaurants and treatments. The excursion catalogue is among the largest in the business, and the item adds up fast on an itinerary with a call every day.

Who this trip is for, and who it is not for

The clientele is European, often Italian: couples from thirty-five to fifty-five, retirees, families in summer. On Caribbean and South American itineraries the proportion of North Americans rises markedly. Costa ranks last among the large lines in English-language traveller rankings.

Four things unsettle a Quebecer. Announcements run through several languages in turn, which lengthens everything. The evening buffet opens on European hours, sometimes not before half past seven. Tolerance of smoking is wider than in North America, including on some balconies. And the daytime programme is thin: most of the entertainment is concentrated after dinner.

On accessibility, the line publishes no official table of adapted cabins. The circulating numbers come from third-party databases derived from deck plans: indicative, never contractual. For a traveller in a wheelchair, the cabin is validated with the line before the deposit.

From Quebec

The flight is not part of the cruise fare, and none of these routes begins here. Depending on the embarkation port, expect a direct flight to Europe or a connection; for the Caribbean and South America a connection is almost always needed. Arrive the day before at the very least: a cruise ship leaves on time.

A point of law better read before than after. The carrier is a company under Italian law; the North American entity is only its sales agent. The contract of passage provides for Italian law and the courts of Genoa, exclusively, and invokes the Athens Convention, which caps liability for personal injury.

Nothing establishes that this line holds a Quebec travel agent's licence. Your protection comes from elsewhere: Voyages AquaTerra holds a licence from Quebec's Office de la protection du consommateur, and the Compensation Fund for Customers of Travel Agents covers your file.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. She was the world's first cruise ship to carry one, and the whole interior follows a music theme. It is not a brochure legend: the studio exists and it works.
No, and that is the point to check before booking. Fewer than forty per cent of the cabins on this class have a balcony, and nearly forty per cent are inside. If a balcony matters, book early.
Three thousand and fourteen at double occupancy, in 1507 cabins. The maximum capacity the line publishes is markedly higher because it counts third and fourth berths.
No, not since March 2026. After the line cancelled its Middle East programme, this ship was kept in the western Mediterranean with new longer itineraries towards southern Europe and North Africa.
May 2009, with a last refit in 2022. She measures 289 metres and shares her hull with three other ships in the fleet, making it the line's most common class.
Eight since mid-September 2026, against sixteen in 2019. Seven hulls were sold or transferred to other brands, one was scrapped in Turkey. The fleet has been halved in six years.
No. A hotel service charge is added to your onboard account every day, and the North American contract calls it mandatory. It is adjusted at the front desk during the cruise only: after disembarkation it is final.
No, the flight is booked separately, and transfers are included only when they are part of the package purchased. From Montreal, several Mediterranean ports are reached non-stop for part of the year.
The western Mediterranean, including the 2026-2027 winter, out of Civitavecchia, Savona, Marseille, Barcelona and Piraeus. Three hundred and thirty-four departure dates sit with us.
Twenty-eight adapted cabins are listed on this class by third-party databases derived from deck plans. The line publishes no official table: the figure is indicative and never contractual. Have the cabin validated before a deposit.
Italian law, before the courts of Genoa exclusively. The carrier is an Italian company; the North American entity is only its sales agent. The contract also invokes the Athens Convention, which caps liability.
A Europe-loving traveller who wants to be in Europe the moment they board, who dines late and goes ashore every day. It suits badly a first-time cruiser comparing with the big North American lines.
Yes, in the lounge names, the deck decoration and the evening programme. It is a real argument for a music-loving client or a family with teenagers, and it is what sets this ship apart from her three sisters.
No, outside the scheduled meals. A drinks package exists and is bought in advance or aboard. Without one, every drink goes on the onboard account, coffee included.
Voyages AquaTerra holds a licence from Quebec's Office de la protection du consommateur. Your payments move through a trust account and the Compensation Fund for Customers of Travel Agents covers your file as the law provides.
