Costa Cruises´ New Ship to Be Named Costa Serena

Costa Cruises has just found a moniker for its new liner –still under construction- and the nametag is Costa Serena. The first building block for the ship was laid on September 16 at the Fincantieri Shipyard in Sestri Ponente, Italy.

The 112,000-ton, 3,000-passenger Costa Serena will be delivered to the Italian cruise company in May 2007. Its sister ship, the Costa Concordia, will be delivered in June 2006.
