| The 92,700-ton Costa Deliziosa was floated
out at Fincantieri's Marghera yard yesterday. It is shown here in the
drydock just before it was flooded with water to float the vessel. The
ship is scheduled to be delivered to Carnival Corp at the end of January
2010, making it the third ship built for Costa within a year. Also
moving toward completion is Costa Luminosa, which will be delivered at
the end of April 2009, and is shown in the background. The third ship in
the trio, Costa Pacifica, will be delivered at the end of May
2009. |
