The Costa Luminosa Shines at Sea

Cruisers return to the Costa Luminosa for its spacious staterooms and fabulous amenities. Tastefully appointed in warm hues, these rooms offer a comfortable respite at the end of a long day. The ship itself comes alive with Vegas-style entertainment in the three-level theater, as well as in the amazing 4D cinema.

Likewise, the Grand Prix Simulator will thrill you as you feel what it’s like to race in a single-seat car. If you like fine art, you’ll be more than happy — over 288 original works of art and more than 4,000 prints are on view.

When it comes time to relax, the Samsara Spa is sheer heaven. This special retreat aboard the Costa Luminosa covers two levels with wellness-class staterooms and suites. Of course, these cabins have direct access to the spa and its solarium, thalassotherapy pool, sauna, Turkish bath, and gym. If that’s not enough, the ship has four bubbling Jacuzzis. Or go for a swim in your choice of three pools, including one with a retractable cover.

The Costa Luminosa sports four dining spots, such as Samsara and Club Restaurants. The Coffee & Chocolate Bar will keep you fueled with caffeine and happiness, and if you want to play a round, the casino keeps the cards flying. Want to mingle? Dance the night away at the disco or enjoy a cocktail or even a cigar at one of the 11 bars and lounges.
