Costa revs up in the Arabian Gulf

Thursday, 2 December 20103 min read

Costa Cruises has begun its fifth season in the Arabian Gulf with Costa Luminosa and Costa Deliziosa offering seven-day cruises.

A new Abu Dhabi excursion takes in the newly opened “Ferrari World”, the world’s first Ferrari theme park.

Highlights include “Formula Rossa”, the fastest roller coaster on the planet, a journey into the heart of a V12 engine, a virtual tour of the historic Maranello factory and the interactive Paddock exhibit.

A second new addition to the programme of shore-side excursions in Abu Dhabi is a visit to the latest Formula 1 race circuit, Yas Marina.

F1 fans will also be able to experience Grand Prix driving simulators from the “Costa racing stable” on both the Costa Luminosa and Costa Deliziosa.

Produced from an original GP car, the simulator is the result of advanced real-time vehicle modeling and produces sensations replicating the handling of an automobile on the world’s best racing circuits.
