Dress Code
Daytime: Daytime dress on a Costa cruise is casual, such as light, cotton clothing or swimwear with cover-up. Tennis shoes or low heeled walking shoes are recommended for exploring ports of call. While most shore excursions do not have dress codes, some tours specifically prohibit shorts and sleeveless shirts and require ladies to wear knee-length skirts or slacks. Additionally, for those guests traveling to Northern Europe, sweaters, lightweight jackets, raincoats and hats are also recommended.
Evening: Your Costa Cruise will feature 2 formal nights on 7- night cruises where men may choose from tuxedos or dark suits and ladies wear evening or cocktail dresses. The number of formal nights may vary depending on cruise length and itinerary.
In the Caribbean, two nights will be informal evenings where men are requested to wear sports coats while ladies wear resort attire. On the remaining three casual nights, ladies wear casual resort attire while men may dress more comfortably in dress shirts and slacks with or without sports coats. (One of these casual nights is a Roman Bacchanal to which you may wish to wear a custom toga or accessorize your bed sheet/toga). Resort attire is the norm on the other evenings.
Age Restrictions
On Board Baby-Sitting
Caribbean: Costa offers group baby-sitting for children age 3 (out of diapers) and older. The babysitting schedules can be found in the Daily Program distributed onboard (private in-stateroom babysitting is not available). There will also be two 'Parents Night Out' during the cruise where parents have the opportunity to enjoy the evening worry free while their children will be entertained with special activities, including their own buffet or pizza party. Best of all these special nights are offered at no extra charge.
Costa's In Port Children's Program
Caribbean: Costa's In Port program offers children a variety of activities onboard to entertain them. Parents will receive information pertaining to scheduled activities at the beginning of the cruise. Ask about specially priced shore excursions for children 12 years and under.
Europe: Costa offers a comprehensive children's program throughout our Europe cruise season. The months of July and August are the most popular traveling times for families with children. Activities vary by ship and itinerary.
Minors Policy
Guests under the age of 21 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. On selected seasonal departures, guests 21 to 24 years old must have one person at least 25 years old in the same stateroom.

Should you wish to change the amount, contact the Guest Relations Desk. Bartenders, servers, deck stewards and other staff may be tipped as service is received. For your convenience, a 15% gratuity is added to beverage purchases automatically.

Health and Safety Protocols
THE COSTA SAFETY PROTOCOL, FOR YOU
To make you experience an unforgettable holiday in complete serenity, our health and safety team and a group of independent scientific experts have developed the Costa Safety Protocol. Furthermore, we are the first cruise company to have obtained the Biosafety Trust Certification from Rina and we carefully follow the safety instructions of the Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA).
1. EXTRA ATTENTION FOR EVERY SINGLE PASSENGER
CHECK-IN ONLINE
Check-in is carried out completely online and opens 72 hours before your departure. To receive your cruise ticket, you must fill in a self-certification questionnaire regarding your health status.
STAGGERED BOARDING TIMES
The boarding times are staggered to facilitate compliance with the correct social distancing rules and to ensure safe boarding. This is why punctuality is so important.
CONTROL AT THE TERMINAL
A quick health screening awaits you at the boarding terminal, which includes body temperature control and a Covid diagnostic test (swab), provided for all the guests*.
2. A SMART VACATION
MYCOSTA
The best way to ensure your on board safety is to check-in in advance. Visit www.mycosta.com before leaving, save time so you won’t have to check-in at the desks!
QR CODES
Your smartphone is a fundamental travel companion! Thanks to the QR codes you can now enjoy a wonderful vacation with complete digital security and it also means less paper to throw away!
ONBOARD MONITORS
There are other ways you can stay informed about what’s new on board: You’ll find digital screens and interactive monitors in public areas, a dedicated Info TV channel in the cabin and the new Call Me service, plus a convenient personalized assistance via the cabin phone.
3. MORE SPACE FOR YOU
REDUCED OCCUPANCY
The number of passengers onboard has been reduced to make social distancing easier and guarantee a safe and pleasant cruise.
REDESIGNED ENVIRONMENTS
The common areas and relaxation rooms have been remodeled so that they fully meet the safety standards you deserve: this means they are accessible to only a limited number of people at a time.
SAFETY SIGNS
There are signs in all high-traffic areas of the ship and the on-board staff will help you to get around easily and to maintain the correct safety distances.
4. ENJOY THE WHOLE SHIP IN SAFETY
PROTECTIVE MASKS
Just as on land, when in public areas while on board, protective masks must be worn By doing this, you protect your own health and that of your fellow travelers!
HAND SANITIZER
To help you keep your hands clean and sanitized at all times, in all the main areas of the ship you will find numerous sanitizing gel dispensers.
CREW DEVICES
The crew too have the necessary protective equipment to be able to do their job to the highest health standards.
5. BREAKFAST IS SERVED
SPACED OUT TABLES
Our restaurants are set up to welcome you in the best way while respecting social distancing. To ensure the safety of all our guests, we ask you to only sit at the table with the travel companion(s) included in your booking.
