Unusual ship name...


I recently sailed on COSTA VICTORIA for a few nights, and one of the ports of call was Palma de Mallorca. There was time to do a harbour tour, which was very enjoyable in the sunshine. The little ship that took us round had this advertising board on the quayside, with names of various ships that called into Palma regularly.


Costa ships seem to be known because of their yellow funnels, so it was a bit of a surprise to read about 'Costa Ventura'. P & O might have something to say about that...
