Costa Cruise: Behind the scenes at a Sky Travel shoot
Video Playing Now: Costa Cruise Service
Costa Cruise Lines recently invited Sky Travel to film aboard and we leapt at the chance as this is steadily becoming one of our most popular cruise lines. Armed with regular presenter Claire Smith we had 6 days to film as much as we could, and on a large cruise ship that's a lot!
So much to film, so little time
Faced with the mammoth task of covering all that the Costa Serena had to offer, as well as filming some of the destinations we were visiting, the team was glad to get on board and start filming from the word 'go'.
The Samsara Spa is a major component of a Costa Cruise, and we started the trip by filming Claire having treatments here. Perhaps we should have filmed here at the end of the trip, as the Spa area was truly relaxing and Claire seemed to enjoy her brief pampering. This was the 'calm before the storm' though.
The pace soon picked up, as we still had the different cabins, the different restaurants (including a chocolate bar complete with chocolate fountain!), the bars, the sun decks, the Grand Prix race simulator, the atrium and the swimming pools to tick off. On a large ship this is no mean feat - just to walk from one end to the other and find where we were meant to be seemed to take about ten minutes!
