    Costa plans double ship launch

    Costa Cruises plans a double float out of two news ships at the same time next month.

    The 2,828-passenger Costa Luminosa and the 3,780-passenger Costa Pacifica are to be launched on the same day at two Fincantieri ship yards in Italy.

    Sheila, I do not know if they will be based year round in Europe.

    Both ships, the Costa Luminosa(92,700 tons) and Costa Pacifica(114,500 tons) were floated out yesterday. Both will be inaugurated on June 5th 2009.
    Costa has also announced that the next ship, sister to the Costa Luminosa, will be named the Costa Deliziosa.

    What a wild name!

    At least it's not Costa Liberty or Freedom or Splendor, or Spirit, or Dream. We're getting too many repeats in my opinion.

    It's an Italian name, what it means, I haven't a clue.
