Costa Concordia is the flagship of the Costa Cruises fleet. She was launched at Fincantieri's Sestri Ponente shipyard in Genoa in 2005 and entered service in 2006 as the largest Italian passenger ship ever built. The name Concordia was intended to express the wish for continuing harmony, unity and peace between European nations. Her thirteen decks are named after European countries (Olanda, Svezia, Belgio, Grecia, Italia, Gran Bretagna, Irlanda, Portogallo, Francia, Germania, Spagna, Austria and Polonia). Her most prominent feature is the Samsara Spa, described as the largest wellness center ever created on a ship. It consists of a two-deck fitness area covering nearly 2,000 square meters, with thermal baths, a pool for thalassotherapy, a tea house, treatment rooms, a gym, hot tubs, a sauna and a Turkish bath.
