Named after Sardinia's popular coast Costa Smeralda is the first ship to use the world’s “cleanest” fossil fuel, Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), which will significantly cut down on gas emissions. Groundbreaking innovations continue to impress throughout the ship; each deck is colored with unique Italian cities.

You can even experience Italian city views in Costa Smeralda staterooms via mesmerizing photographic panels with embedded televisions. The grandiosity of Italian tradition continues floor-to-ceiling windows to let more light in, geometric “mod” wallpaper, premium Italian furniture, and faux marble bathroom walls.

The concept that represents “Italy’s Finest” continues in the fine international cuisine aboard Costa Smeralda, as well as in the spaces of the ship itself — by some of Italy’s most impressive architects and designers.
