It’s the ideal place for a fun evening with friends or family, sampling the craft beers in a casual setting where you can chat the night away. Every time you toast, you will get the real Bavarian feeling, sourrounded by traditional wood furniture, wooden beams and casks. Besides the lagers, bitters and weissbiers, it offers something that Münich doesn´t – a sea view. Prost!
Wine Bars:
The perfect place to enjoy a real Italian aperitif
Costa’s wine bars are the perfect place to enjoy a real Italian aperitif. Our selection of top-quality wines from the various regions of Italy are served with cheese and nibbles that enhance their flavor in an elegant setting.

The wines are 100% Italian, and are all DOC or DOCG wines.
Chocolate and Ice Cream Bars:
Sample our mouthwatering desserts.
Come to the Chocolate Bar and just smell the aromatic cocoa that wafts through the air! A hot chocolate? A chocolate shake? A special praline? A slice of sachertorte? Or perhaps a flavored coffee? You can try them all here! Costa has chosen the very best supplier that Italy has to offer: the quality chocolate and pastry items are all made by Gobino and Biasetto. You will not be able to resist the chocolate fountain, an infinite waterfall of sweety goodness, ready to dip your crunchy biscuits or fresh fruit into. Try our delicious new crêpes too. A special highlight is Costa Diadema, where besides the Chocolate Bar there is also a homemade ice cream bar, like something out of a fairytale.
Special diets:
We want to serve you the perfect vacation. Our Costa chefs’ creativity knows no boundries.
If you follow a special diet, such as gluten-free or a hypoglycaemic for diabetics, or if you have an allergy or intolerance, you can safely enjoy all the wonderful cuisine during your Costa cruise.
