The Costa Romantica is one of the most comfortable and elegant ships in the Costa fleet. It epitomizes Costa's devotion to Italian design. Richly embellished public rooms feature rare woods and Carrara marble, exquisitely detailed by the finest European artisans. Millions of dollars have been invested in original works of art including sculptures, paintings, murals, wall hangings and hand-crafted furnishings.
 
According to Saigontourist Travel Service Co., the Costa Romantica has currently been on the trip round Việt Nam for a week. Hạ Long is the first place the ship anchored before cruising to Đà Nẵng and Hồ Chí Minh city.
 
The visitors, mostly from the US and Europe visited Hạ Long bay, Bãi Cháy tourist area, Yên Tử Heritage Landmark and had the chance to enjoy local culinary specialties as well as traditional arts performances like water puppetry, Vietnamese folk songs, etc.
 
Saigontourist said another cruise ship, Costa Classica will visit Hạ Long at the end of this year.
