Fiorentino Restaurant
Fiorentino is one of Costa Diadema’s main dining rooms, serving complimentary Italian influenced and international dishes across two levels at the stern on Decks 3 and 4. Settle in for multi course dinners with pasta or risotto, mains, cheese and dessert, plus views over the wake.
Breakfast brings table served eggs and bacon alongside a central buffet. Dinner is usually at fixed sittings, and the occasional operatic surprise or dancers may give your meal a little extra theatre.
Adularia Restaurant
Dinner comes with a little extra theatre at Adularia, where golden tones, mother of pearl details and panoramic windows on two sides set the scene on Deck 3.
You can choose from Italian and international dishes, from pasta and fish to salads, cheese, desserts and ice cream. Dinner is usually arranged in sittings, so check the daily programme for your exact time. Drinks are not included.
Corona Blu
Corona Blu is your casual, poolside answer to grazing on Deck 10. Start with pastries, fruit and yoghurt, then return for grilled meats, panini, focaccia or a plate of chicken stir-fry.
Dinner is an informal open-seating affair, serving the main dining room menu from 6:30pm to 10:30pm. Times can vary by sailing, so check your daily programme. Save the swimsuit for the pool, not the buffet.
Club Diadema
For a dinner that gives the main dining room a night off, head to this Italian-inspired speciality restaurant on Deck 5. Expect attentive table service, an elegant setting and an open kitchen, so you can watch the chefs at work.
The four-course menu has included pear risotto, grilled tiger shrimp and rib-eye steak, followed by cannoli or chocolate decadence. Reservations are required, so sort yours before your preferred evening fills up.
Tavola Teppanyaki
Dinner comes with a little theatre at Tavola Teppanyaki on Deck 5. You sit around a hot grill built into the table while the chef cooks to order, turning grilled rice, vegetables, chicken, beef and seafood into the main event.
Start with soup and salad, then settle in for the live cooking. Reservations are required, so book ahead rather than leaving your dinner plans to chance.
Samsara Restaurant
Samsara Restaurant serves healthy dishes with a fish and seafood focus, in an Asian-themed setting on Deck 5. Go beyond the usual Italian fare with marinated swordfish and shrimp, pan-fried mullet fillet, or almond cake with berries.
Lunch follows a set three-course menu, while dinner gives you two choices per course. Staying outside a Samsara or spa cabin? You will need to reserve, and a separate charge applies.
Vinoteca Gran Duca di Toscana
Vinoteca Gran Duca di Toscana
For a quieter glass and proper conversation, head to Vinoteca Gran Duca di Toscana across Decks 4 and 5. You can choose from 80 wine labels from more than 50 Italian wineries, with cheeses and salami served as hors d’oeuvres.
Try the self service wine machine, where your key card lets you select and dispense a glass. The upper level is for tastings, while the lower level is a gourmet food shop.
Birrera Dresden Green
Birrera Dresden Green
A proper German beer hall, complete with wooden tables, benches and a beamed ceiling, Birrera Dresden Green is where you can settle in with lager, bitter or Italian beer. Ceramic steins above the doorways add to the pub-like feel.
You will find it across decks 4 and 5, opposite the wine bar. For a quieter pint after dinner, this is one of the ship's more peaceful spots, with indoor tables or a semi-enclosed promenade cabana.
The Emerald Theatre
The Emerald Theatre
The Emerald Theatre is Costa Diadema’s main stage, spread across three levels on Decks 3, 4 and 5. Settle in for an evening of musicals, comedy, acrobatics, games and other live performances, with a rather pleasingly theatrical orange-and-blue interior.
Shows are usually performed twice each evening, generally between 8pm and 9.30pm, and you do not need to reserve. Check the Daily Programme delivered to your cabin for that evening’s line-up, then choose your show and take your seat.
Midship Pool
Midship Pool
Lido Diana is Costa Diadema’s central pool on Deck 10, with a retractable magrodome roof to keep your swim plans intact when the weather has other ideas. Settle into the shallow-water sofas and chairs, or claim a spot on deck.
A large screen brings family entertainment poolside, while party bands take to the stage later in the evening. The nearby Diana Deck Pool Bar is handy for drinks, though bar orders may carry an extra charge.
Stella del Sud
Stella del Sud
Tucked away at the aft end of Deck 10, Stella del Sud is the smaller pool for a quieter dip, a spell on a lounger, or a little shoulder and neck relief beneath its waterfall.
Its motorised cover means changing weather need not spoil your pool time. Bar Stella del Sud sits one deck above, so you are never far from an Aperol Spritz, though drinks carry an extra charge.
Costa Diadema Gym
Costa Diadema Gym
Put the sea view to work at Costa Diadema Gym, a fully equipped Technogym space on Deck 14, the Millennium Star deck. Large windows mean your treadmill session comes with a rather better backdrop than the local leisure centre.
You can also look out for yoga, Pilates and fitness classes, or take your exercise outdoors on the jogging track when fresh air feels like the smarter training partner.
4D Cinema
4D Cinema
This is not your standard film screening. On Deck 5, Eldorado, you slip on 3D glasses and take your seat for a virtual ride with special effects and motion built in.
There are 24 vibrating seats, so expect the action to make itself felt. Tickets can be bought from the onboard interactive information stands, and you must be at least 6 years old to take part.
Star Laser
Star Laser
Put your cat burglar credentials to the test at this interactive laser-games area on Deck 11, the Timur deck. In Laser Maze, you race through a laser-beam course without breaking the beams, chasing a higher score than your opponents.
Laser Shooting adds a target-shooting simulator for competitive play. It is made for adults and children alike, so bring the family, or bring your competitive streak.
Grand Prix race car-driving simulator
Grand Prix race car-driving simulator
Fancy seeing how you handle a racing circuit when the sea is doing its own thing outside? Scuderia Costa puts you in a Formula 1-style single-seater cockpit, with hydraulic motion and screens bringing major motor-racing circuits into view.
You will be chasing the feel of high-speed virtual sport on Deck 12, not merely pressing buttons from the sidelines. A proper bit of competitive fun for anyone who has ever fancied the driver’s seat.
Squok Club
Squok Club
A supervised space on Deck 11 where younger cruisers can get stuck into games, arts and crafts, treasure hunts, sports tournaments and karaoke contests. You can enjoy a little grown-up time, while they take the themed-party schedule very seriously.
Mini is for ages 3 to 5 and Maxi is for ages 6 to 11, with children required to be out of nappies. Opening times are typically 09:00 to midnight, so check the onboard programme for the day’s plan.
