Why? Not only is it the perfect way of reaching the places you wish to see when on holiday, but it also creates a spectacular, evocative atmosphere for you throughout the entire duration of your journey. All Costa Cruises staff, both onboard and on land, have an innate passion for the sea and contribute, together with our ships, to making your holiday a special one. For years now Costa Cruises has made a daily commitment to respecting nature and the sea: the water, the air, and the flora, fauna and marine biodiversity. Each of our ships complies with international environmental protection standards for the prevention of pollution. A specific department supervises all environmental protection, described in the Environmental Compliance Plan, a publication specially produced by Costa. All of our staff undergo training with regard to respecting these procedures. At the 21st “Seatrade Cruise Shipping Convention” in Miami in March, a conference that brings together the leading international operators in the cruise industry, Costa Cruises was awarded the “Green Star” for all the ships in its fleet. 11 stars for the first “green” fleet in the world. This extremely significant voluntary recognition was awarded by RINA, the Italian Register of Shipping, an institution responsible for certifying companies. The “Green Star” certifies that your cruise ship respects the environment and sea... contributes to keeping the air and the sea in which you are travelling clean. It is a recognition that conforms to the highest required standards, going beyond those laid down by the Marpol international regulations currently in force. Pocket_UKcompleto 13-10-2005 13:27 Pagina 11 11 For those who love The Costa Atlantica and Costa Mediterranea had already been awarded with the “Green Star Design” as, from the very beginning, they were designed to guarantee maximum respect for the environment. The “Green Star” joins the “BEST 4” certification also awarded last year by RINA. The “BEST 4”is a system of voluntary certification attesting to the best international standards in terms of social accountability, the environment, safety and quality. Costa Cruises is the first company to receive certification for the respect of environmental standards for an entire fleet - currently the largest and most modern in Europe. What a great feeling to know that you are on holiday surrounded by a fantastic sea that is protected by the very people that are showing you its treasures. the sea as much as we do. For information and details on our marine protection work, Costa Cruises and Carnival Corporation have set up the COMPLIANCE REPORTING HOTLINE (001) 305.40.65.863 and the website www.carnivalcompliance.com.

Quality, safety, environmental protection and social responsibility: doing our best in these areas is something we are committed to every day, because we think all companies have the duty to do so. This daily commitment has also been recognised through the RINA certification obtained a year ago, confirmation of our respect for the highest international standards. We are proud to be the first company to have received these four marks of excellence, all at the same time and in a single symbol: BEST 4. Four stars: a big award, but a big responsibility too that obliges us to do our best to ensure that we're always number one CRUISES and to improve every day in the interests of those who choose our products and work with us. www.costacruises.co.uk Pocket_UKcompleto 13-10-2005 13:27 Pagina 13 13 The Grand Oriental Cruise Travel by sea to where the history of the world began Dedicated to all those who love a great voyage and can't resist the extraordinary allure of far-off and unusual places, the Grand Oriental Cruise is a holiday without comparison.

Our lighting, music, sound and special effects engineers can count on the best equipment available anywhere in the world.

It has proved to be an immediate success: our Guests have participated with great enthusiasm, thanks to both the quality of items on offer and the economical prices of the works of art. All works are original and starting prices are very competitive. The choice is wide: paintings, sculptures, lithographs, screen prints, and other valuable pieces. In the onboard Art Gallery, the Art Director is available to provide you with information on the works and artists that interest you and to give you a preview of the pieces that will be up for auction. If you just wish to watch proceedings, there are between a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 5 auctions on each cruise and they are great fun, with some pieces being auctioned by surprise and the chance to take part in prize draws to win works of art. All you need do is raise your hand and make a bid! * The onboard Auctions are at the moment planned for the Costa Magica, Costa Fortuna, Costa Mediterranea and Costa Atlantica.

Inside you will find 55 Cabins and 12 Suites, all with flatscreen TVs and a special Samsara bathroom set. And that's not all. Costa Concordia welcomes you with precious and elegant surroundings in the other parts of the ship too. There are five swimming pools, two of which have a retractable glass cover making them suitable for all seasons. If you see a giant screen, then you must be on the swimming pool deck: the 18m2 monitor is the biggest ever on our ships. If you're hungry, or you just fancy a tasty bite, you have five restaurants to choose from: one of them, the Club Concordia, offers an à la carte menu and tables are by reservation only. In the innovative Bar Sport Stoccolma, with its fun Formula 1 Simulator, you can experience the thrill of a high-speed racing car and the excitement of whizzing through the famous tracks at Monza, Spa and Silverstone. There are more than 500 cabins with balconies. Spacious panoramic decks help you enjoy the largest and longest ship in the fleet. The interiors have an international flavour and pay homage to the different architectural styles of Europe and major cities such as In Italian the word “concordia” evokes a feeling of peace and harmony, and reminds us of the pleasure of being together on a wonderful trip. We would like to update our Members on developments regarding the most majestic and impressive ship in the Italian naval service, because we feel that this convivial spirit is so strong. You deserve to be kept up-to-date because this is a very important project for us, but also for you: as of next summer, you'll be able to enjoy the most relaxing of Mediterranean cruises on the Costa Concordia. It is an innovative ship where wellbeing and relaxation are just as important as the cruise destinations. On board you will find many services, plenty of comforts and great entertainment, coupled with unique and original solutions, more space and elegant and imaginative furnishing. Its uniqueness stems from its incredible 1,900m2 fitness area located on two decks, complete with a swimming pool at its centre.

Interesting furnishings with precious details create a radiant and spectacular atmosphere in all areas of the ship, from the restaurant to the theatre, from the hall to the casino, in the cabins and in the bars. Costa Concordia was created to take you on a voyage of discovery around the Mediterranean Sea all year round: the sheer tonnage and stability of the new ship will allow you to travel in complete relaxation. We put in a lot of effort to be able to offer you such an impressive and important ship, from the initial project plan, to the details we chose to make it perfect. The design follows precise specifications: to build a ship that was longer than Costa Magica, and with greater capacity. The speed of the ship and the itinerary also influenced the design. From the start of the construction until now, and then up until to its inauguration, we have been monitoring the final touches and finetuning of the project. In this phase it is of fundamental importance to have highly skilled Costa staff on board - those who know the reality of life on board and can assess every phase of construction and offer the best kind of advice. During the construction phase, for example, we requested the presence of expert Costa carpenters, brass workers, plumbers and electricians. This is the great added value that will make this Costa ship truly unique: the experience, professionalism and enthusiasm of the people who took part in the project. A very exciting moment for everybody, during the building phase, was when the navigation bridge was raised 30 metres above the ground on a powerful crane, and placed on the prow of the ship. The operation lasted about two hours. The photo you see above gives you an idea of just how spectacular yet delicate the operation was. We are really looking forward to having you on board our most important ship. You should come and find out for yourself its many features and the relaxation and wonders it has to offer. A spectacular moment during the project, when the navigation deck was placed on the prow of the ship.

In Cairo's Egyptian Museum you won't find the answer to the mystery of Egyptian civilization: treasures, artefacts and the mummies of ancient rule, still intact after thousands of years.
