Costa Fortuna

The ship

Destiny-derived Fortuna — classic Costa

Costa Fortuna is Fortuna/Destiny-class Costa from 2003 — classic Italian big-ship atmosphere at roughly 2,700 guests, with ocean-liner décor cues and a big atrium. She has covered Med, Brazil and other Costa markets across two decades.

Main dining rooms and the buffet are included. Specialty restaurant and steak or grill nights carry covers. Pizzeria covers casual hours.

Evenings centre on the theatre and atrium bars. Daytime is pools and spa. She is older Costa classic living — lively Italian holiday energy, not Excellence-class new. Confirm current operator and deployment on older ships before you book.

   Dining

3. 03

   Atrium after dark

   Fit and caveats

   Guests who want classic Costa Italian energy on Destiny-era bones get the most from Fortuna. Always confirm who is operating her and where she sails before you book — older ships can move markets.

Fit

Who she is for

• Guests who want classic Costa Italian big-ship energy on Destiny-era bones at a keener price point than Excellence class.
• Multi-gen groups happy to budget drinks and specialty nights on Med or longer Costa markets.
• Not the ship if you want newest Excellence hardware, quiet British formal dining, or a luxury all-suite product.

Where

Where Fortuna tends to go

Has covered Med, Brazil and other Costa markets; watch for fleet-transfer or operator news on older ships — confirm who is sailing her before you book.

Treat this as the ship’s range, not a fixed timetable. When this guide is public, sailings with two or more UK agent prices will sit at the bottom.

Before you book

What the brochure skips

• Specialty dining, drink packages, Samsara or spa extras and Wi-Fi sit outside the simple cruise on most Costa bookings. Price the week as the cruise plus what you will actually buy.
• Compare UK agents on the same Fortuna sailing — same ship, same date, cruise-only, two guests. The hero price should be the lowest bookable one, not the first logo you recognise.
