Good to know

The “Adagio Tour” was born from the collaboration between Costa Crociere Foundation and AISM, with the aim of offering land experiences at a “slower” pace and itineraries with fwer architectural barriers, designed for people with accessibility needs.The “Adagio Tour” version of this excursion is available on all ships.
The places available for the "Adagio Tour" version are limited.
If you use a wheelchair, the reservation of the "Adagio Tour" must necessarily be made through your cruise representative or through the contact channels of the Customer Center.
In preparation for the 2025 Jubilee, many monuments may be under renovation and therefore not visible.
