At 37 meters above the sea, Fortress Lovrijenac offers impressive views across the landscape. Used as a filming location for Game of Thrones, the fortress played an important role in protecting the Old City, which visitors will learn about as they explore the grounds.

DAY 3 - 08 Jan 2023
You will be at sea on day 3 while travelling from Dubrovnik to Catania, Sicily.
DAY 4 - 09 Jan 2023
Time at Port: from 7 AM to 5 PM
Catania is located on the eastern side of Sicily on the slopes of Mount Etna, the highest active volcano in Europe. It was founded between 729 and 728 BC by the Greeks of Chalcis and, like the other major Sicilian cities, it was subjected to the domination of different populations because of its strategic position on the sea. Among the places of artistic and cultural interest are the Ursino Castle, the Sant’Agata Cathedral, and the Benedictine Monastery.
The Ursino Castle dates back to the 13th century and was built at the behest of Frederick II of Swabia, who was at that time King of Sicily. It was the seat of Parliament during the Sicilian Vespers and later the residence of the Aragonese sovereigns. Today it houses a museum.
The Sant'Agata Cathedral overlooks the south-east side of Piazza del Duomo. Destroyed and rebuilt several times, the beginning of the first construction dates back to 1086, on the ruins of the ancient Achillian Baths from the Roman period of the 4th century.
The ecclesiastical complex of San Nicolò "la Rena" consists of a Benedictine monastery and a church of the same name. The first structure dates back to the 12th century and owes its name to the volcanic sand that characterises the surrounding area.
Mount Etna is the highest active volcanic complex in Europe; the most recent measurements have revealed a height of 3,326 metres above sea level. Its historical eruptions have changed the surrounding landscape over the centuries.
The Massimo Bellini Theatre was built in the 19th century. It was inaugurated on May 31, 1890 with the Norma opera by the Catania composer Vincenzo Bellini. The hall has a horseshoe-shaped structure with four tiers of boxes and a gallery.
DAY 5 - 10 Jan 2023
Time at Port: from 7 AM to 1 PM
Naples is one of the most important cities in Italy. Its foundation dates back to the 8th century BC, and it once had an important relationship with Athens, due to its commercial power and position on the sea. The city is rich in history and there are numerous places of interest to visit, in particular the archaeological excavations of the nearby Pompeii and Herculaneum, which were destroyed by the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD.
The opening of the historic National Archaeological Museum of Naples took place in 1816. Built by Ferdinando I of Borbone, at the time king of the Two Sicilies, it boasts the richest collection of works and archaeological finds with regard to Roman history.
The Museum of Contemporary Art, also known as the Madre Museum, is located inside Palazzo Donnaregina, in the center of Naples. It was established in 2005 with the aim of promoting cultural and artistic development in the territory of Campania.
The construction of the Royal Palace began in 1600 and for a long time was the residence of the Spanish viceroys, before passing to the House of Bourbon and finally to the House of Savoy. The architectural style is a mixture of Baroque and Neoclassical. Today, the palace houses a museum and a library.
The history of Pompeii begins in the 9th century BC, when the area was inhabited by the Opici people - an ancient Latin population. Today the town is famous because of the eruption of Vesuvius, which occurred in 79 AD, which led to its total destruction.
The profile of Naples would not be the same without Mount Vesuvius that dominates the city skyline. Versuvius is known for the violent eruption of AD 79, which became famous for the destruction of Pompeii and Herculaneum, and was witnessed by Pliny the Younger.
The tremendous eruption of Vesuvius, in 79 AD, not only destroyed Pompeii but also the ancient city of Herculaneum. The archaeological excavations of this city can be visited today and, since 1997, are part of the UNESCO World Heritage List.
The Catacombs of San Gennaro are the most important Christian monument in Naples. The remains of San Gennaro, the main patron saint of the city, have been held here since the 5th century. The labyrinth of corridors also house Christian frescos from the 2nd century AD, and mosaics from the 5th century AD.
Castel Nuovo is a medieval and Renaissance-era castle. Most commonly known as Maschio Angioino, its construction began in the 13th century at the behest of Charles I of Anjou, after he moved the Italian capital from Palermo to Naples in around 1268.
The Piazza del Plebiscito is located in the historic center of Naples and was of considerable importance after the construction of the Royal Palace. Today Palazzo Salerno, Palazzo della Prefettura, and the Basilica of San Francesco di Paola are also located here.
DAY 6 - 11 Jan 2023

Savona is the third largest city in Liguria, after Genoa and La Spezia. It boasts remarkable points of interest such as the Priamar Fortress which was built by the powerful Republic of Genoa, and dates back to the 16th century. The Savona Sistine Chapel, smaller than its Roman namesake, which was commissioned by Pope Sixtus IV in the 15th century, and the Cathedral of Maria Assunta, the main place of worship in the Savona area. Another prominent aspect of the city is the Art Nouveau-style architecture.
Savona is one of the main Italian cities in which the Art Nouveau style developed. Villa Zanelli, built in 1907, represents one of the main masterpieces of this artistic movement in Italy. It is located on the beach of the Legino district and can be seen by visitors as they walk by on the sand.
Bergeggi is a historic village in the province of Savona, about 110 meters above sea level. Just off the mainland is the island of the same name, also known as Isola di Sant’Eugenio, ideal those who love diving and exploring marine fauna and flora.
The Sistine Chapel, not to be confused with the chapel of the same name in the Vatican City, was built at the end of the fifteenth century at the behest of Pope Sixtus IV - to whom it owes its name. It was designed as a tomb for the noble Della Rovere family of Savona.
The construction of the Priamar Fortress began in 1542, and takes its name from the hill on which it stands. It was built and then expanded at the behest of the Republic of Genoa, with the aim of bringing the city of Savona under full control.

One of the most famous cities in the world, Rome has been an epicentre of politics, art, architecture, and food for thousands of years. It is home to some of the most well-known historic sites such as the Colosseum, the pantheon, and Vatican City. It’s easy to spend a day in a hundred different ways in Rome, whether you’re looking to sip on incredible wine and people-watch, indulge in decadent pasta, pizza, risotto, and gelato, or if you’re eager to wander around the streets soaking in all the history you can. Rome is one capital city which will always leave you wanting more.
Found in the heart of Rome, Vatican City is the smallest independent state in Europe at just 0.44km² with a population of 1,000 people. It acts as headquarters to the Roman Catholic Church and is home to The Apostolic Palace - the Pope’s residence –the Vatican Museums, St Peter’s Basilica, and the Sistine Chapel.
Within Vatican City is one of the biggest churches in the world; St. Peter’s Basilica. Accommodating up to 20,000 people, this is where the Pope delivers services. Its 136 metre high dome was designed by Michelangelo, and was completed in 1614.
The colosseum was opened in 80 A.D. with 100 days of exciting games. It was mostly used for gladiatorial combat and fights with animals until around the 6th century when it began to fall into disrepair. It was then used to store building materials until the 18th century, when the papacy decided it should be preserved. As it stands now, however, more than two-thirds of the structure has been destroyed.
Known the world-over for its elaborate, 15th century artwork courtesy of Michelangelo, Botticelli, Luca, and Perugino, the Sistine Chapel is where new Popes are elected and ordained. It is located within Vatican City, inside The Apostolic Palace.
This Michelangelo sculpture is located inside St Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City. It depicts the body of Jesus after he has been crucified, being held by the Virgin Mary. The statue was originally commissioned by Jean de Billheres – a French cardinal – as a memorial for his tomb.
This is one of the most iconic buildings in Rome. There are myths surrounding the building of the original Pantheon, but the structure we see today was built in 120 A.D. by Emperor Hadrian. It was created as a Pagan temple to “honour all Gods” – which is the translation of “Pantheon”. In the year 609 it was converted to a Christian church, although it is still widely known as the Pantheon.
This popular public square is located where the (now fallen) Stadium of Domitian once stood, in 86 A.D. Since then it has been developed into a social gathering spot, adorned by three magnificent fountains that were commissioned in the 16 and 17th centuries. These are Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi, Fontana del Moro, and Fontana del Nettuno.

Savona is the third largest city in Liguria, after Genoa and La Spezia. It boasts remarkable points of interest such as the Priamar Fortress which was built by the powerful Republic of Genoa, and dates back to the 16th century. The Savona Sistine Chapel, smaller than its Roman namesake, which was commissioned by Pope Sixtus IV in the 15th century, and the Cathedral of Maria Assunta, the main place of worship in the Savona area. Another prominent aspect of the city is the Art Nouveau-style architecture.
Savona is one of the main Italian cities in which the Art Nouveau style developed. Villa Zanelli, built in 1907, represents one of the main masterpieces of this artistic movement in Italy. It is located on the beach of the Legino district and can be seen by visitors as they walk by on the sand.
Bergeggi is a historic village in the province of Savona, about 110 meters above sea level. Just off the mainland is the island of the same name, also known as Isola di Sant’Eugenio, ideal those who love diving and exploring marine fauna and flora.
The Sistine Chapel, not to be confused with the chapel of the same name in the Vatican City, was built at the end of the fifteenth century at the behest of Pope Sixtus IV - to whom it owes its name. It was designed as a tomb for the noble Della Rovere family of Savona.
The construction of the Priamar Fortress began in 1542, and takes its name from the hill on which it stands. It was built and then expanded at the behest of the Republic of Genoa, with the aim of bringing the city of Savona under full control.
DAY 123 - 08 May 2023 to 08 May 2023
Time at Port: from 7 AM to 6 PM
One of the most famous cities in the world, Rome has been an epicentre of politics, art, architecture, and food for thousands of years. It is home to some of the most well-known historic sites such as the Colosseum, the pantheon, and Vatican City. It’s easy to spend a day in a hundred different ways in Rome, whether you’re looking to sip on incredible wine and people-watch, indulge in decadent pasta, pizza, risotto, and gelato, or if you’re eager to wander around the streets soaking in all the history you can. Rome is one capital city which will always leave you wanting more.
Found in the heart of Rome, Vatican City is the smallest independent state in Europe at just 0.44km² with a population of 1,000 people. It acts as headquarters to the Roman Catholic Church and is home to The Apostolic Palace - the Pope’s residence –the Vatican Museums, St Peter’s Basilica, and the Sistine Chapel.
Within Vatican City is one of the biggest churches in the world; St. Peter’s Basilica. Accommodating up to 20,000 people, this is where the Pope delivers services. Its 136 metre high dome was designed by Michelangelo, and was completed in 1614.
The colosseum was opened in 80 A.D. with 100 days of exciting games. It was mostly used for gladiatorial combat and fights with animals until around the 6th century when it began to fall into disrepair. It was then used to store building materials until the 18th century, when the papacy decided it should be preserved. As it stands now, however, more than two-thirds of the structure has been destroyed.
Known the world-over for its elaborate, 15th century artwork courtesy of Michelangelo, Botticelli, Luca, and Perugino, the Sistine Chapel is where new Popes are elected and ordained. It is located within Vatican City, inside The Apostolic Palace.
This Michelangelo sculpture is located inside St Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City. It depicts the body of Jesus after he has been crucified, being held by the Virgin Mary. The statue was originally commissioned by Jean de Billheres – a French cardinal – as a memorial for his tomb.
This is one of the most iconic buildings in Rome. There are myths surrounding the building of the original Pantheon, but the structure we see today was built in 120 A.D. by Emperor Hadrian. It was created as a Pagan temple to “honour all Gods” – which is the translation of “Pantheon”. In the year 609 it was converted to a Christian church, although it is still widely known as the Pantheon.
This popular public square is located where the (now fallen) Stadium of Domitian once stood, in 86 A.D. Since then it has been developed into a social gathering spot, adorned by three magnificent fountains that were commissioned in the 16 and 17th centuries. These are Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi, Fontana del Moro, and Fontana del Nettuno.
DAY 124 - 09 May 2023 to 09 May 2023
Time at Port: from 2 PM to 9 PM
Catania is located on the eastern side of Sicily on the slopes of Mount Etna, the highest active volcano in Europe. It was founded between 729 and 728 BC by the Greeks of Chalcis and, like the other major Sicilian cities, it was subjected to the domination of different populations because of its strategic position on the sea. Among the places of artistic and cultural interest are the Ursino Castle, the Sant’Agata Cathedral, and the Benedictine Monastery.
The Ursino Castle dates back to the 13th century and was built at the behest of Frederick II of Swabia, who was at that time King of Sicily. It was the seat of Parliament during the Sicilian Vespers and later the residence of the Aragonese sovereigns. Today it houses a museum.
The Sant'Agata Cathedral overlooks the south-east side of Piazza del Duomo. Destroyed and rebuilt several times, the beginning of the first construction dates back to 1086, on the ruins of the ancient Achillian Baths from the Roman period of the 4th century.
The ecclesiastical complex of San Nicolò "la Rena" consists of a Benedictine monastery and a church of the same name. The first structure dates back to the 12th century and owes its name to the volcanic sand that characterises the surrounding area.
Mount Etna is the highest active volcanic complex in Europe; the most recent measurements have revealed a height of 3,326 metres above sea level. Its historical eruptions have changed the surrounding landscape over the centuries.
The Massimo Bellini Theatre was built in the 19th century. It was inaugurated on May 31, 1890 with the Norma opera by the Catania composer Vincenzo Bellini. The hall has a horseshoe-shaped structure with four tiers of boxes and a gallery.

With countless boutiques, authentic eateries, and bars as well as a quaint museum teeming with ancient artefacts, Old Town Budva is a delightful place to explore. Enjoy dessert from a charming bakery, admire the view from the citadel and bask in the peace and quiet.

DAY 127 - 12 May 2023 to 12 May 2023
Time at Port: from 7 AM to 1:30 PM
Found on the southeast edge of Italy, Bari has long been a large and bustling port town which boasts some fascinating history. There are plenty of religious buildings to see which house the relics of various saints – including those of St Nicholas (Santa Claus), and Saint Columba of Ireland. It’s also worth exploring the Old Town and Piazza Mercantile, to get a flavour of traditional Bari life complete with fresh Italian cooking, children playing football, and of course plenty of wine. In the piazza is also the ‘colonna infame’, which dates back to the first century AD. It’s here where criminals were held in years gone by to be ridiculed and punished.
Dating back to the 12th century, Basilica di San Nicola, was originally built to house the remains and relics of St Nicholas (popularly known as Santa Claus), which were stolen around that time from Myra in Turkey. The arrival of the important relics is re-enacted every year in May, when locals arrive to the port by boat with an icon-style painting of the saint. This basilica is an important pilgrimage among Roman Catholics and Orthodox Christians.
Although less famous, many say that Bari Cathedral is actually a more important building than Basilica di San Nicola in Bari. It was built in the 12th-13th centuries, on the site of another cathedral that was destroyed by King William I of Sicily in the mid-12th century. It is dedicated to San Sabino, whose relics were brought to the area in the 9th century and are now stored in the cathedral. Some relics of Saint Columba of Ireland are also kept here.
It’s believed that the original castle structure was built around 1130-1135, by the Norman King Roger II of Sicily, only to be destroyed by William I of Sicily in 1156. Then King Frederick II of Sicily rebuilt it in the 13th century. Today visitors can explore some of the castle, where art exhibitions and events are often held. There is also a permanent collection of plaster cast replicas of 11th to 17th century artefacts.
Known locally as Bari Vecchia, the old part of the city is full of quaint streets and charming architecture. It provides the quintessential Italian atmosphere of narrow roads, children playing football, laundry hanging overhead, and the smells of delicious food being prepared. The streets of Old Bari can lead you to or away from the main square (Piazza Mercantile), where attractions such as the Basilica di San Nicola are located.
The main square of the old town, Piazza Mercantile is a vibrant social hub of eateries and bars and has been since medieval times. In around the 14th century traders came here to sell their wares – although today’s marketplace is not located here – and it quickly became the place to eat, drink, and be merry. There is some important architecture surrounding the square too, such as the 13th Colonna Infame, and the 16th century Palazzo del Sedile (old town hall and clock tower).
Otherwise known as the Colonna Infame – or infamous column – this menacing lion statue and column are situated in one corner of Piazza Mercantile. The lion wears an inscribed collar reading ‘Custos Iusticiae’ – or ‘Keeper of Justice’, and represents law and order, and protection of the city. The lion dates back to around the first century AD, but the column was not installed until the 16th century. It is believed that debtors and other small-time criminals were once tied to the column to be publicly shamed and ridiculed.
DAY 128 - 13 May 2023 to 13 May 2023
Time at Port: from 9 AM to 5 PM
The ‘floating city’ of Venice has romantic connotations all over the world. Known for picturesque canals, colourful buildings, gentle gondola rides, good food, and an ample supply of history, this is one Italian destination that sits on many a bucket list. See magnificent architecture in St Mark’s Square, the fascinating Doge’s Palace, St Mark’s Basilica, and the famous Bridge of Sighs. After soaking in centuries of history, be sure to make time to simply watch the world go by with a world-class cup of coffee and a piece of tiramisu, or indeed an indulgent glass of wine and pasta dish.
Located in the Venetian lagoon, Giudecca Island is a small, attractive resort offering some lovely cafes, bars, and restaurants as well as pretty architecture. Over the years it has had a varied history, having been the home to some grand palaces and gardens, before becoming a centre of industry in the 20th century, particularly during World War II. One 16th century mansion has been converted into a beautiful luxury villa.
Piazza San Marco – or St Mark’s Square – is the main square in Venice. It is one of the main attractions, and has had a vibrant role in Venetian history, having been a centre of politics, commerce, and religion over the years. Today it is one of Venice’s main attractions, being surrounded by beautiful architecture on all sides – including the magnificent Basilica di San Marco. Not only a stunning piece of architecture, St Mark’s Basilica also has a fascinating and exciting history. The original church was built in the 9th century, and the construction was ordered by the doge to house the remains of Apostle St Mark the Evangelist which had been stolen by Venetian merchants on a trip to Alexandria. This church was then burned down in the year 976, and was rebuilt again two years later. It was consecrated in the late 11th century, and since this time has seen many repairs and refurbishments.
This well-known, historic piece of architecture joins Venice’s prisons to Doge’s Palace – or more accurately, the interrogation rooms in the palace. Legend says that when prisoners of the 17th century crossed the bridge into the prison, they sighed at their last view of Venice – hence the name. Today the bridge also has romantic significance, with local lore saying that lovers who kiss beneath the bridge in a gondola will have a love that lasts forever.
From the late 7th century until the late 18th, Venice had a system of doges, who acted as elected leaders of the region. Doge’s Palace – now known as Palazzo Ducale – was built in the 14th century as a residence for the doge, and for other political bodies. It was a venue used for debates, a court of law, grand events such as balls, and even had prison cells on the ground floor. The beautiful palace is located in Piazza San Marco, and was opened to visitors in 1923.
Within Venice’s lagoon is the picturesque island of Burano, well known for its colourful buildings and pretty canals. First inhabited in the 6th century, Burano has long been a small fishing community, which rose in prominence with the production of lace in the 16th century – a tradition it is still known for today. Burano is a gorgeous spot to wander around, enjoy a gelato, and browse the fabulous range of intricate lace work which is available to purchase in varying forms.

All good and very enjoyable thank you.
18 Aug 2019
The ship Costa Deliziosa was beautiful, very Italian with lots of marble and very blingey! Premium cabins were excellent, with good balcony, plenty of space. Would have liked an adults only swimming pool as it was difficult to get a swim for jumping in children - also in an ideal world would have liked a bigger swimming pool. Service was excellent, and there were lots of different places on board to go to. Perhaps in reflection would prefer a smaller ship with less people - the Italians were rather noisy around pool, lido etc., although very good natured. It was good to be able to order breakfast in cabin as buffet was rather too busy- hectic even. Dinners were good, waiters excellent and it was nice to be put on a table with other English people of which there were very few on board. The entertainment in the theatre was not of such a high standard as have had for example on Norweigen Spirit, so think there is room for improvement there. However all the crew and staff were really good and information was good.

JUST RETURNED FROM A FABULOUS CRUISE ABOARD THIS SHIP Boarding was not 100% had to wait 1 and half hour but once called up per number it went quite fast. Have cruised Ncl, Holland America,Carnival etc my 18th and found this one to be the best of the middle priced cruises. The food was excellent, Entertainment Excellent, Staff excellent I just could not fail them on anything. We had the Premium Balcony(which is much larger than NCL and Carnival) 24 hour room service(never a problem from the staff to deliver to the cabin) We read previous reviews and went with an open mind (the first on Costa) but myself and my husband were amazed. We will definately go again on Costa We loved the Italians, Germans and French The ship had an atmosphere not equaled on any other liner. The warmth, was overwhelming of the Europeans, The water is a small problem but this we also overcame as you can get water from the Buffet at any time and just take it down to your cabin. Will definately be cruising Costa Again Keep it up.

We were in Deliziosa in March 2011 from Dubai. We had a great time, the ship was just new. It is not Celebrity, but still very good. The food was good too, even though this is not an Italian cruise liner anymore, so the food is closer to the one you would have on Royal Caribbean. The staff, at times, could have been a bit more professional. Overall, good experience.
21 Feb 2011
This was our first time on a cruise liner and it far exceeded our expections. I find it is impossible to say anything negative about the ship or the staff. The cabin was comfortable and kept very clean by our steward. All the staff were very attentive and made our stay completely stress free and comfortable. Out of 10 I would give a score of 11. Thank you for such a wonderful cruise, we shall return.
18 Mar 2010
The ship was beautiful,our balcony cabin was very spacious,well appointed and clean.The staff were very friendly especially cabin crew and the waiters and bar staff. Being an Italian ship and the inaugural cruise from Italy most of the passengers were European, the TV had a satellite based in Italy and apart from the news all programmes were Italian.The playstation,golf,cinema,skating etc were all extra costs,a coke costs 2.99 euros and bingo 20 euros for one game. Drink packages are available but my husband doesnt drink alcohol so the X1 was not an option for me,I got the classic selection wine package and although expensive (compared to Australian Prices)served the purpose. The shore excursions are very pricey and not well organised,its cheaper and easier to get a taxi onshore,you see the same sights at your pace. The food was good but not fantastic, quite repetitious in fact,obviously Italian with lots of pasta and cheese sauces,the salads were very ordinary as were the desserts.We didnt try the alternative restauants as they were 20euros per person extra and we chose to eat ashore when in port. We chose the cruise because of the itinery,however a lot of passengers got the wrong visas for India and the schedule was changed and we had to do all India then Male,which meant 3 days straight at sea,on this cruiseline it was a bit too long. We had a few good shows but not really up to the standard expected in such a good theatre.Costa cruises appear to be good value for money but not exceptionally so compared to the American lines. I may travel with them again in the future as many passengers were repeat clients and the European ones are shorter duration.
