The play of light on glass and water transforms this magnificent ship into a floating work of art. Carrying only 800 passengers, the intimate Costa Allegra is a vessel of imagination and opulence. You'll find that there is nothing quite like Cruising Italian Style. As you rub the sleep from your eyes, stretch your toes and lazily awaken to the luxury of your Costa suite, mini suite or elegant stateroom, another sunny day greets you. Linger over a cup of freshly brewed cappuccino and plan your day's adventures. Find a cozy corner or bask on the spacious teak sundeck. Dive into a cool pool, join your new European friends in a poolside game and toast the day with an exotic drink at the outdoor bar.
