Costa Smeralda

Costa Smeralda

Costa Smeralda, the first LNG-powered ship constructed by Meyer Turku, was delivered to Costa Crociere in 2019.

Costa Smeralda, the first LNG-powered ship constructed by Meyer Turku, was delivered to Costa Crociere in 2019. 

The ship was based on AIDAnova, which was developed by MEYER WERFT in Papenburg, but the liners have a different interior. Costa Smeralda puts the focus on Italian culture. All individually designed furniture, lamps, fabrics and accessories are reminiscent of La DolceVita . Its cabin decks are inspired by Italian cities, and the three-storey “Colosseo” is an impressive venue for concerts and shows.  

Costa Smeralda is one of the largest luxury liners in the world – passengers are accommodated in 2,612 staterooms. The shipping company commissioned MEYER TURKU with the construction of a structurally identical sister ship, Costa Toscana, which was launched in 2021.
