Concordia-class cruise ship

The Concordia class is a class of cruise ships operated by Costa Cruises and Carnival Cruise Line, both part of Carnival Corporation and plc. The design builds on Carnival's Conquest class, with the deck area from the lido deck to the top enlarged and redesigned around a main pool that has glass sides and a retractable magrodome roof, and with a larger spa of about 2,000 square metres on each ship. Carnival runs only one ship of the class, Carnival Splendor, which it markets as a Splendor-class ship. The Italian builder Fincantieri built Costa Fascinosa, the youngest ship of the class, at its Marghera yard. The lead ship, Costa Concordia, was lost in the January 2012 grounding off Tuscany, and Carnival Splendor was stranded without power after an engine room fire in November 2010.
