Spain, Italy & France from Barcelona, 3 May 2026 (7 nights)

Booking with Iglu cruise is really easy, very helpful and supportive staff so everything was a breeze. Website was easy and clear. Costa cruise app was really useless prior to the cruise which is annoying as we could have booked dinner venues or even spa sessions prior to being onboard, however we had no problem getting reservations whilst onboard. This was a full cruise which meant 6700 people were onboard excluding the staff, however we did not feel at any point it was crowded! Breakfast was busy but there were multiple venues so we always managed to get a table and it would quieten down quite quickly even at 930am! The excursion to Pompeii was amazing with a great guide and most of the destinations were enjoyable and convenient even for us to go on our own. I would advice to skip Genoa as it was quite boring. Entertainment was overall good especially the Heinkein bar and NY eve celebration was really rocking in the venues. However I would really rate the food quality as mediocre, sadly. My expectations of an Italian cruise is that food at least would be good but meals were bland, sauces lack depth, 1st night my pasta was stuck together!! Bread had rock hard exterior and light as air ( the better restaurants had better bread!) , dessert I had at the Ferrari restaurant one night was super disappointing because it was just some whipped mascarpone, pieces of biscuits- so that was lazy and too easy. However the prices of food and drinks were reasonable even without a drink package. I did love the Nutella bar which had great crepes! Pool area was noisy with kids but that is expected. There is an adult only pool outside but Dec is just too cold for that. Overall it was ok, it would have been better if they had like International night ( where English speaking guests could mingle or meet up ) like they had a Spanish night.

It was fantastic value. beautiful cabin, inside cabin 12015 new ship furnishings superb . Staff fantastic and helpful. food like most cruise liners it was varied and something for everyone . Entertainment a little flat . but for value for money an excellent cruise .

My trip on Costa Toscana was fantastic! The ship is modern and beautiful, with a cozy cabin and excellent food. The onboard entertainment is diverse — there’s something new every day. The staff is polite, attentive, and always ready to help. The atmosphere is pleasant and relaxing. A great cruise — I would definitely come back again!

The mood of the service staff in the buffets is very gloomy. If you ask for more on your plate, they do so in a dismissive and dismissive manner. It was discomfort about no cofe if you dont have extra drinks package. Inner cabins are very small. And lifts between decks can work better it was a lot of waiting. Everything else was amazing and good.
