The two new cruise ships from cruise company Costa Crociere, will be launched on the 5th of June at the Genoa port of Ponte Andrea Doria.
The baptism of Costa Pacifica and Costa Luminosa (in the photo) will be an extraordinary event, with a request being lodged to Guinnes World Records.
The Genoa council and Liguria regional government have organised much pomp and ceremony in Genoa to celebrate the event, with concerts, fireworks and acrobatic displays.
The ships are described in glowing terms on the website of Costa Crociere, with the Costa Pacifica having a musical theme on board.
Music can be heard from all over the ship, while the interior design reflects the music theme with each environment having a musical touch.
