Gianni Onorato, CEO
Costa Crociere S.p.A., operating as Costa Cruises (Italian: Costa Crociere), is an Italian cruise line, based in Genoa, Italy, owned by Carnival Corporation & plc.[1][2]
Founded in 1854,[3] the company originally operated cargo ships, in order to carry olive oils and textiles from Sardiniato Liguria.[3] In 1924 the company passed to founder’s sons (Federico, Eugenio and Enrico) that started commercial activities, buying the ship Ravenna.[3] Commercial activities continued until the introduction of passenger services in 1947, with regular services between Italy and South America. The company later converted its entire fleet to full-time cruising, and as an independent company became one of the largest cruise operators in Europe.
The Costa Cruises brand currently operates fourteen cruise ships, which all sail under the Italian flag and provide cruise holidays in the Mediterranean, Northern Europe, the Caribbean, the Indian Ocean, the Middle East, South East Asia and South America.

Cruise Ship Diaries
Costa Serena and Costa Deliziosa was two of the ships where they filmed the show called Cruise Ship Diaries on NatGeo. It’s a really cool show that can give you an idea of what’s like to work on a Cruise Ship. I can say that I have binge-watched all three seasons ( currently on Youtube if you don’t have NatGeo).
I definitely recommend you watch it some episodes. It’s fun after all!
