The new flagship Costa Fascinosa was delivered today for Costa Cruises. Delivery ceremony was held in Venice, Italy by Italian Minister of Tourism Piero Gnudi, and his daughter Elsa. Fascinosa together with her sister ship Favolosa are the largest Italian cruise ships.
"The delivery of Costa Fascinosa is an important stepping stone on our company's road to recovery," said Costa Crociere S.p.A. Chairman and CEO Pier Luigi Foschi. "It is confirmation that the long-term fundamentals of our business remain strong, and we will continue to work for our customers, offering them even better cruises on fantastic ships like Costa Fascinosa."
Costa Cruises invested US$668.8 million (510 million euros) in Costa Fascinosa. Construction of the ship at Fincantieri’s Marghera shipyard involved the labor of approximately 3,000 yard workers plus 7,000 more people employed by about 500 contracted suppliers, most of them Italian firms.
