Thrilling Entertainment
The heart of the ship's entertainment is the Colosseo, a spectacular three-level venue amidships featuring massive LED screens, live concerts, and theatrical shows. For thrill-seekers, the ship boasts a water park with water slides and the "Volare," a breathtaking 65-meter-high scenic promenade.
Commitment to Sustainability
One of the Costa Toscana's most defining features is its commitment to the environment. Powered by Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), it utilizes the marine industry's most advanced fuel technology to significantly reduce emissions. LNG power virtually eliminates sulfur dioxide emissions and drastically cuts down nitrogen oxides and particulate matter.
Furthermore, the ship is designed around a circular economy concept. Special onboard desalination plants process seawater to meet 100% of the ship's daily water supply needs, making it one of the most eco-friendly cruise ships navigating the Mediterranean today.
Standout Architectural Spaces
The Costa Toscana was explicitly designed to feel like a floating tour of Italy's most famous cities and regions. The ship moves away from traditional, enclosed cruise ship designs, focusing instead on sweeping, open-air public spaces.
-
Piazza del Campo: Located at the aft (back) of the ship, this grand, open-air staircase is inspired by the famous square in Siena. It spans three decks and features stunning, uninterrupted views of the ship's wake. By day, it’s a perfect spot to sunbathe; by night, it transforms into an entertainment space for games, live music, and parties under the stars.
-
Passeggiata Volare: The highest point on the ship, this skywalk sits 65 meters above the sea. It's a breathtaking, glass-bottomed promenade that offers panoramic 360-degree ocean views.
-
Infinity Walk: Wrapping around the perimeter of the ship, this wide promenade allows guests to take a true seaside stroll, stopping at outdoor bars and lounge areas along the way.
Family and Kids Facilities
Costa Cruises is known for being incredibly family-friendly, and the Costa Toscana takes this to the next level with dedicated zones for all age groups.
-
Splash Aqua Park: Located on the upper decks, this thrilling waterpark features high-speed twisting waterslides and splash zones. It’s a major selling point for families traveling with older children and teens.
-
Squok Club: This vibrant kids club is staffed by qualified childcare professionals and caters to children ages 3 to 11. It hosts stimulating activities, themed parties, and educational games.
-
Squok Baby Area: A dedicated play space within the Squok Club for the youngest cruisers (aged 6 months to 6 years), allowing parents and toddlers to play and socialize safely.
-
VR Space & Arcade Games Room: For teenagers (and adults), the ship features an immersive Virtual Reality zone and a classic arcade filled with modern and retro games.
