Sanremo 2025: Emotions, fun and passions on board the Costa Toscana

The Sanremo Festival 2025 was an extraordinary event, made even more special by the cruise aboard the Costa Toscana. From February 13 to 21 I experienced intense and magical days, starting from Civitavecchia, stopping in Sanremo during the festival and continuing towards enchanting destinations such as Savona, Marseille, Barcelona and Palermo.

An extraordinary ship

Costa Toscana is a true floating city, a jewel of technology and luxury. With its 337 meters of length and 42 of width , it can accommodate up to 6,500 passengers , offering a unique and unforgettable travel experience. As soon as I stepped on board, I was struck by the main atrium , a huge bright area with spectacular LED screens, crystal staircases and a vibrant atmosphere. Every corner of the ship conveyed a sense of elegance and modernity.

The ship is divided into themed neighborhoods , each with its own distinctive character. The Bridge of Dreams was one of my favorite areas, an elevated glass walkway that gave the sensation of walking suspended over the ocean. For those like me who love to relax, the Solemio Spa was the perfect place to enjoy rejuvenating massages, saunas and Turkish baths, while for those looking for an adrenaline rush there was the water park with breathtaking slides and infinity pools overlooking the sea.

Restaurants and gastronomy on board

One of the most incredible aspects of the Tuscan Coast was the gastronomic variety: 16 restaurants and 19 bars , each with a different culinary offering.

Archipelago Restaurant : an exclusive concept with menus created by starred chefs such as Bruno Barbieri, Hélène Darroze and Ángel León. Each dish was a true work of art.
Sushino at Costa : the first sushi bar on board a Costa ship, perfect for an elegant dinner based on the freshest nigiri and sashimi.
Pummid'oro Pizzeria : here I tasted one of the best Neapolitan pizzas I have ever tried, cooked in a wood oven and prepared with DOC Italian ingredients.
Teppanyaki Restaurant : a show-cooking experience with chefs cooking Asian dishes directly at the table, including knife throwing and flame shows.
Bellavista Restaurant : my favorite place for breakfast, with a breathtaking panoramic view of the horizon and a buffet full of fresh fruit, pastries and Mediterranean specialties.

Of course, there could not be a lack of bars and lounges for aperitifs and refined cocktails:

Campari Lounge : an elegant venue where I sipped expertly prepared spritzes and negronis.
The Superba Bar : overlooking the main pool, ideal for a refreshing drink under the stars.
The Aperol Spritz Bar : perfect for an aperitif before going wild at the disco.

The ship also offered a 1,600-seat theater , where top-notch performances took place every night, from singers and acrobats to hilarious cabaret shows.

But the real beating heart of the Costa Toscana was the Colosseum , a spectacular three-story central square with giant screens and live shows. Concerts, exclusive events and DJ sets took place here, creating a magical atmosphere that combined the charm of a cruise with the excitement of a festival.

Emotions at the Sanremo Festival

The emotional highlight of the cruise was definitely the arrival in Sanremo during the festival. On the evening of February 14, the Costa Toscana became an integral part of the show with the live link from the floating stage with Carlo Conti. Finding myself there, in the front row, was indescribable. When the cameras caught my eye, I felt a very strong emotion: the awareness that millions of Italians were watching me unleashed a vortex of adrenaline and joy that I still relive with enthusiasm today. The applause, the music, the magic of the evening are imprinted in my memory, and the mix of life on board and the world of entertainment created a unique experience.

Crazy nights and unlimited fun

Every night on board was synonymous with unbridled fun. The disco was animated by international DJs and breathtaking light shows. Among them, a special guest made the experience even more extraordinary: Damianito , one of the best Italian DJs. Winner of the Red Bull 3Style World Championship in 2018, Damianito is famous for his ability to blend different musical genres and create adrenaline-filled and engaging sets. His performances on board transformed the ship into a true temple of music, making me dance until dawn with his unmistakable sound and overwhelming energy.

Passions and encounters on board

Among the most passionate moments I remember the night spent with Luca , a charming boy from Milan. After a game of glances and seductive jokes during the evening at the disco, we decided to continue in his cabin. The understanding was magnetic: as soon as we entered, our bodies joined with urgency and desire. Hands explored avidly, lips sought every inch of skin, and that night of passion, accompanied by the sound of the sea, was unforgettable.

Equally intense and sweet was the experience with Elena , a Spanish girl met in Barcelona. After a romantic dinner, we spent a night of soft sensuality. Our bodies intertwined slowly, discovering new ways of giving and receiving pleasure, an exciting experience that revealed unexplored sides of my femininity.

An unexpected adventure: a night with two boys

One of the most surprising evenings was the one spent with Marco and Alessio , two young guys met at a poolside party. Young, athletic and full of energy, we started talking and joking lightly. Soon the conversation became more daring, full of allusions and knowing smiles. Aided by a few cocktails and the relaxed atmosphere, we decided to continue in my room. Once alone, the atmosphere became electric: their hands and lips explored every part of my body, alternating in sensual games and passionate kisses. I experienced an intensity that I had never felt before, letting myself go completely to the pleasure and freedom of that moment.

Those encounters made the cruise even more special, giving me moments of unforgettable passion that I will always carry with me.

The cities visited: Art, culture and passion

The cities visited: Art, culture and passion

Savona

In Savona I immersed myself in the discovery of Priamar, an ancient medieval fortress that fascinated me with its history and breathtaking view of the city. I also visited the Sistine Chapel, being fascinated by the baroque works and local art collections, witnesses of a rich and refined culture.

Marseille

Marseille enchanted me with its cultural and artistic vivacity. I visited the historic district of Panier, among suggestive alleys and contemporary art galleries, tasting very fresh oysters in the old port and animatedly discussing with new friends the artistic influences of Provence and the Mediterranean.

Barcelona

In Barcelona, my art-loving soul was completely satisfied. I visited the Sagrada Familia, fascinated by the genius of Gaudí, and the Picasso Museum, where I admired the master's works, deeply breathing in the art and history that filled those rooms. I couldn't miss a walk along the Ramblas, stopping to enjoy tapas and a glass of sangria in the company of Elena, exchanging opinions on our shared passion for art and aesthetics.

Palermo

Palermo won me over with its Mediterranean warmth. I explored the Palatine Chapel and the Cathedral, admiring the unique meeting of different cultures, Arab and Norman, in a fascinating architectural setting. I strolled through traditional markets such as Ballarò, enjoying authentic street food and absorbing the vibrant local atmosphere.

The Return: Nostalgia and New Desires

The return to Civitavecchia was sweet and melancholic at the same time. The Tuscan Coast and Sanremo 2025 represented a perfect combination of emotions, art, passion and fun. This unique experience will remain in my heart and thoughts for a long time.

If you want a memorable adventure, full of culture, art, emotions and passion, I can only recommend a cruise like the one on the Costa Toscana.
