The Ship of Films
The Costa Atlantica is as tall as a 20 storey building and is just under 300 metres long! The surface area is an astonishing 20 times larger than the Olympic stadium in Rome. And just as impressive is the attention to detail throughout the ship. The decks are named after the Italian film director Federico Fellini, with tributes to his art ranging from the entertaining “Dolce Vita” photos to the original sketches of the film by artist Milo Manara. The Caffè Florian is a faithful reproduction of the famous cafe in St Mark’s Square in Venice. The Atlantica Club Restaurant is fantastically stunning, located in the tallest part of the ship, under a glass ceiling with a view up to the sky, and connected to the lower deck by a glass staircase by the artist Luciano Viscosi. For cruisers that love delighting body and mind we have the Wellness club where you will have exclusive access to pleasure and moments of pure relaxation.
