Meyer Turku has delivered Costa’s newest ship, the Costa Toscana to Costa Cruises. Meyer Turku CEO Tim Meyer said, “With the Costa Toscana we are turning a new page at the shipyard”, adding, “We have been pushing our ship-building processes onward and are now seeing the results with this beautiful vessel”, and “We are very proud of her and I feel confident that the guests onboard will really enjoy Costa Toscana in the coming years”. 
Mario Zanetti, President of Costa Cruises said, “The Costa Toscana reinforces our commitment to responsible innovation by further contributing to the use of LNG applied to cruise ships, a technology in which we pioneered”, adding, “It is an innovation that is part of a constantly evolving path of ecological transition”, and “Indeed, we are also working on testing further innovations, such as fuel cells and batteries, with the aim of arriving at the first ship with net-zero emissions”.
Meyer added, “The high energy efficiency of the ship has been achieved by our designers and builders through many years of simulation, testing, and experience”, adding, “With each new ship design we are pushing the limits of what is possible”.
Costa says that its new flagship is a tribute to Tuscany, the result of an extraordinary creative project, curated by Adam D. Tihany, designed to enhance and bring to life in a single location the best of this wonderful Italian region, which gives its name to the ship, its decks and main public areas.
The Costa Toscana’s first cruise will depart from Savona, Italy, on March 5, 2022, with a week-long itinerary visiting Marseille, Barcelona, Valencia, Palermo, and Civitavecchia/Rome. Following her debut, the new flagship will remain deployed in the Western Mediterranean throughout the year.
