Costa Victoria Cruise Review
Eastern Mediterranean Cruise on the Costa Victoria

From Greg

Cruise Line: Costa Cruises
Cruise Ship: Costa Victoria
Cruise Destination: Eastern Mediterranean

What a great trip. We missed the first day due to a flight cancellation, but we joined the ship in Sicily and, despite a few, minor administrative "wrinkles", Costa was great in making up for our disappointment at losing a day. The food was wonderful. The menus were essentially Italian but if you didn't like the truly superb cuisine, then there were excellent buffets with more standard fare by the bucketload. My party of four all put on weight, and one more week and we'd have been too heavy to fly home!

The ship was beautiful with all the facilities you could want and excellent, friendly service everywhere. The on-board prices for drinks, etc. are quite expensive, but the overall value for the total cost was excellent. The excursions, (Sicily, Mykonos, Izmir and Patmos Santorini) were all very well organized and well worth the money. We will use Costa again.
