Costa Cruise Lines Minimum Age: Six months (twelve months on some destinations) Children’s Programs: Extensive Babysitting: Yes Tickets: http://www.cruisecompete.com/lines/costa_cruises.html Overview Costa Cruise Lines is the largest cruise line in Europe, and as it builds new ships regularly (just like its parent company, Carnival), it has one of the most modern fleets, particularly in the Mediterranean. And like Carnival, Costa Cruise Lines does regular upgrades. (In late 2013, the Voyager, Classica, neoRiviera, Victoria, and Mediterranea entered dry dock for multi-million dollar refurbishments.)
