The number of Costa Cruises Ships is set to grow substantially in the next three years as they have no less than five ships on order.

The first of these is due in service in May 2009 and is known as Costa Luminosa, she will be followed by Costa Pacifica in June 2009 with Costa Deliziosa coming aboard in 2010. Two yet unnamed ships will appear in 2011 and 2012.

All of these ships are in the Concordia class named after Costa Concordia who arrived in service for Costa Cruises in 2006. A year later, in 2007, Costa Serena joined the fleet and when the building is finished the number of Costa Cruises Ships will be sixteen.
