OVERVIEW
Costa Allegra may look a bit plain from the outside, but inside it is literally brilliant and quite beautiful. Italian designer elegance makes it a very bright ship, capitalizing on the play of light on glass, whimsical, with lots of verve. Dramatic paintings, sculpture, graphics, wall hangings, and handmade crafts make her striking and homelike at the same time. CostaAllegra was refurbished in 2001 in cream, peach, red, aqua and black that would have struck a chord with the Impressionists and Post-Impressionists the decks are named for: Manet, Rousseau, Degas, Modigliani, Lautrec, Gauguin and Van Gogh. With more than one crew member to every two passengers, service is a major feature of the ship. |
