With the aim of offering its most loyal passengers an experience with the best of Italy, from gastronomy to music and entertainment, Costa proposes a special cruise, with famous celebrities on board such as the soprano Cecilia Gasdia and the head pastry chef Luigi Biasetto.
The Costa Fortuna will set sail on Sunday, August 23, from Amsterdam on an extraordinary cruise dedicated to members of the CostaClub, the club for those for whom a Costa cruise is their preferred vacation.
An incredible 10-day journey to discover, for the first time in CostaClub cruise history, the spectacular landscapes of the Norwegian Fjords, including a special program to enjoy the best of Italy.
And it all begins with music. A true 'Bel Canto' cruise will resonate with the notes of the most famous opera arias, featuring soprano Cecilia Gasdia (www.ceciliagasdia.it), a leading Italian stage artist who has performed in the world's most renowned theaters alongside celebrated conductors, from Franco Zeffirelli and Claudio Abbado to Riccardo Muti and Zubin Mehta. Accompanied on the piano by her sister Elena, Cecilia Gasdia will thrill passengers with an exclusive concert.
Exquisite Italian cuisine will also take center stage during the Costa Fortuna cruise. In addition to new regional menus featuring dishes created especially for this occasion, pastry chef and world champion Luigi Biasetto ( www.pasticceriabiasetto.it/index.html ) will delight the palates of CostaClub members, who will be able to savor the famous Setteveli cake and macaron cascades at a magnificent buffet just for them .
The cruise will pulse to the rhythm of many special activities reserved for CostaClub members: flash mobs, culinary competitions and singing challenges; parties, cocktails, gala nights and concerts. And, finally, exclusive gifts to celebrate the complete Italian experience.
