Costa Toscana will become the company’s second liner powered by liquefied natural gas. Just like her sister, Costa Smeralda, she will have a tonnage of over 180,000 GT and will accommodate guests in more than 2,600 cabins.
Costa Toscana is scheduled to start her career in 2021.

By the way, Costa Cruises has one more cruise liner under construction - Costa Firenze aimed to join Costa Venezia in Asia next year. You can read more about her via this link.

In the meantime, the Costa Toscana’s sister, Costa Smeralda, is undergoing final preparations before her debut in October 2019. We are going to visit her at the shipyard soon, so stay tuned.
