Costa Fortuna is a cruise ship for the Italian cruise line Costa Crociere built in 2003 on the same platform as Carnival Cruise Lines' Destiny-class cruise ship. She was inspired by the Italian steamships of the past. Models of these ships are on display in the ship's public areas. In the atrium, models of the 26 past and present ships of Costa's fleet were displayed upside down, on the ceiling, up to, and including, Costa Fortuna herself. She was refurbished between 10 and 16 December 2018 in Singapore and was re-positioned back to Genoa, Italy in March 2019.
