Costa Cruises is introducing a new cruise concept that encourages guests to explore the local cultures of the world through their own unique experiences, both onboard and ashore. With this in mind, the Italian based cruise line has completely overhauled how its guests spend their time, with the introduction of more intense and in-depth shoreside experiences, much longer days in port, and, onboard, the introduction of ‘Destination Dishes’ in the ships’ main restaurant.

Costa Cruises Destination Dishes

Each evening in the main dining room guests will be offered a Destination Dish. This dish is at no extra charge and can be order as an alternative to the standard menu. These dishes are created by one of three expert chefs, Bruno Barbieri, Ángel León or Hélène Darroze, each with their own unique take on the traditions and flavours of the destinations that you will visit.

Destination Dish Examples

 – Bruno Barbieri reveals the dish for Mykonos

Our tomato, cheese and frisella orzo, with swordfish tartare, oil, and lemon

 – Hélène Darroze reveals the dish for Lisbon

Brandade of cod au gratin with Italian sausage and breadcrumbs

 – Ángel León reveals the dish for Dubrovnik

Shrimp tartare marinated in white wine, garlic, parsley, citrus, and pepper

To take things even further, the main menu has also been enriched with a more captivating look and more contemporary offerings, including a signature simple dish which will be offered every evening as an alternative to what is on the main menu, giving guests more freedom to enjoy something simple should they prefer.
