Before you sail

What the fare covers, what it doesn't, and how this itinerary actually runs.

Save the balcony money
7 port days and no sea day — you are ashore in daylight and asleep the rest. An interior cabin costs about $450 less per person, which is most of a shore excursion budget.
7 port days back to back
Early tenders and late returns, several days running, with no sea day to recover in. Pick the two ports you actually care about and let one of the others be a lie-in — the itinerary is not a checklist.
Day one and the last day are half-days
A 7-night cruise is really 6 full days. Boarding runs into the afternoon and you are off the ship early on the last morning.

Already in the fare

Accommodation in your chosen cabin grade is included.Most meals in the main dining rooms and buffet restaurants are covered by the fare.Access to the main pools, hot tubs, and fitness center is included.A range of entertainment, including theatrical shows, live music, and deck parties, is part of your cruise fare.Basic beverages like water, coffee, tea, and juice are available at breakfast and at the buffet during opening hours.

The drinks package

Costa's 'My Drinks' package typically costs around €35-50 per person, per day, including the automatic service charge. Prices can vary by itinerary and booking region, so confirm with the line when you book.

Break-even: This package usually pays for itself if you have about 5-7 drinks a day, combining alcoholic beverages like beer, wine by the glass, or cocktails, with soft drinks and premium coffees.

It suits those who plan to enjoy several alcoholic and specialty non-alcoholic drinks daily. Light drinkers who are content with the free basic beverages may find it unnecessary.

Gratuities: An automatic service charge, typically around €11-12 per person, per day, is added to your account for guests aged 15 and over. This amount may be slightly lower for children aged 4-14, and there is no charge for infants under 4. It can often be prepaid at the time of booking, or adjusted on board by speaking with Guest Services.
Wifi: Wi-Fi access is generally available in packages or on a pay-as-you-go basis, with costs varying. A basic social media package might allow messaging apps and light social browsing, but streaming or video calls are usually restricted to more expensive tiers.

Costs that surprise people

Specialty Dining. Restaurants outside the main dining rooms and buffet often have an additional cover charge or à la carte pricing.
Shore Excursions. Tours and activities booked through the cruise line in port are an extra cost, ranging from modest to significant depending on the activity.
Spa and Thermal Suite Access. While the gym is included, spa treatments and access to the thermal suite areas, such as saunas and steam rooms, usually incur a charge.
Photo Packages. Professional photos taken by the ship's photographers are available for purchase, either individually or as part of a package.
Port Shuttle Buses. In some ports, Costa provides shuttle buses from the ship to the town center, which may have a small fee per person each way; check the current port shuttle price on the day.

Ways to spend less

Book Drink Packages in Advance. Drink packages are often offered at a slightly lower rate if purchased before sailing compared to buying them on board.
Utilize Included Dining Options. Stick to the main dining rooms and buffet for all meals to avoid specialty dining charges.
Go Ashore Independently. Research and arrange your own shore excursions or simply explore ports on foot to avoid the cost of ship-organized tours.

Day-by-day itinerary

Day 1Civitavecchia· Italy
Depart 17:00
Embark in Civitavecchia.
Getting ashore in Civitavecchia
Cruise ships berth at various docks within the large port of Civitavecchia. These berths are a significant distance from the port's exit and the city center, making walking from the gangway unrealistic. Tendering is uncommon here.
Port shuttle busAround 10-20 minutesOften free, but some lines might charge a small fee, typically a few Euros
These shuttles usually drop passengers at Largo della Pace, the main port exit, from which you can reach the train station or city attractions.
Walk from Largo della PaceAbout 15-20 minutes to Civitavecchia train stationFree
From Largo della Pace, it's a straightforward walk along flat ground to the train station, which is the gateway to Rome.
Taxi5-10 minutes from Largo della Pace to the train stationTypically around \u20ac10-15 within Civitavecchia
Taxis are available near Largo della Pace; confirm the fare before starting your journey, especially for longer trips to Rome.
Watch out. The significant distance and time required to get from the ship to Civitavecchia train station, which is often underestimated by passengers planning a day trip to Rome.
Worth doing here
Visit Rome's iconic sights
This is a classic choice for many first-time cruisers to Italy, allowing a taste of the capital's history and culture without managing complex logistics independently.
This is a full-day trip, typically 8-10 hours, involving a bus journey of usually 1.5 to 2 hours each way to Rome. Expect significant walking in Rome itself. The ship's excursion is generally the most reliable way to ensure a timely return to the ship. Confirm prices with the cruise line; these excursions are often around $100-200 USD per person, sometimes more if they include meals or specific entry tickets.
Discover Forte Michelangelo and the town center
This option allows for a relaxed day close to the ship, perfect for those who prefer not to travel far and enjoy local history and atmosphere.
The Forte Michelangelo is usually a short walk from the cruise terminal, perhaps 10-15 minutes, with the town center easily accessible nearby. Allow 2-3 hours to explore the fort from the outside and stroll through the local shops and cafes. There is usually no charge to walk around the fort's exterior and the town.
Explore the ancient Terme Taurine Roman Baths
This provides a unique historical insight into Roman life and engineering in a less crowded setting than central Rome, appealing to history enthusiasts.
The baths are located a few kilometers outside Civitavecchia center. A taxi would be the easiest way to get there, typically taking about 10-15 minutes each way, costing around €15-25 each way. Allow 2-3 hours for the visit. Admission fees are usually around €6-10 per person; check the current price at the entrance.
Discover the Etruscan Necropolis of Tarquinia
This UNESCO World Heritage site offers a fascinating look into a civilization predating the Romans, suitable for those interested in ancient history beyond the common tourist routes.
Tarquinia is about 20-30 minutes by taxi or local bus from Civitavecchia. Taxis might cost around €30-50 each way. Allow 3-4 hours to visit the site and the nearby museum. Entry to the Necropolis is typically around €8-10, with a combined ticket for the museum often available for a few euros more; confirm prices on arrival.
