Spiegel TV - Special: The floating city - XXL holidays on board a mega-ship
The hypermodern + environmentally friendly "Costa Toscana" is among the top 10 largest cruise ships in the world: 6,730 passengers enjoy themselves on the floating luxury hotel with 21 restaurants, 19 bars and four pools. The documentary takes a look behind the scenes of this "small town": Who are the people who ensure smooth operations and service? And what do the passengers have to say about their XXL luxury holiday on the high seas?
After two years of pandemic, lockdown and travel frustration, the cruise industry is experiencing a real boom. The number of reservations is currently skyrocketing. Being looked after on a floating luxury hotel and waking up in a different Mediterranean city every morning is the epitome of pleasure + relaxation for the passengers of the "Costa Toscana". Up to 6730 guests fit on board the mega luxury liner. Add to that 1600 crew members: a floating city with logistical challenges. The documentary focuses on the people who ensure smooth operations + service, but also on the passengers who fulfil a dream with a holiday on the XXL ship.
