Costa Concordia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
MS Costa Concordia (Italian pronunciation: [ˈkɔsta koŋˈkɔrdia]) is a Concordia class cruise ship owned and operated by Costa Cruises, a subsidiary of American-British Carnival Corporation & Plc. She was built at Fincantieri's Sestri Ponente yards in Italy. The name Concordia was intended to express the wish for "continuing harmony, unity, and peace between European nations".
Costa Concordia was the first of the Concordia class cruise ships, followed by sister ships Costa Serena, Costa Pacifica, Costa Favolosa and Costa Fascinosa, and Carnival Splendor built for Carnival Cruise Lines. When the 114,137 GT Costa Concordia and her sisters entered service, they were among the largest ships built in Italy until the construction of the 130,000 GT Dream class cruise ships.
