Costa Magica

Art, art, and even more art! Of more than 5,000 pieces of art on the ship, 360 are original.

With a bit of interior alteration, Costa Magica is essentially a Euro-clone of parent company Carnival Cruise Line's Carnival Triumph and Carnival Victory. The mix and size of public rooms was determined to appeal to European as well as North American passengers sailing on itineraries that include the Mediterranean Sea as well as the Caribbean region.

Costa Magica shares many of the same attributes as her Carnival cousins, but make no mistake, this is a Costa vessel. In the style that Europeans favor, the casino is much smaller than those on comparably sized vessels, which has made room for the huge Salento Grand Bar that houses the largest dance floor at sea.
