In 1982, the Eugenio C sailed 6 cruises from Genoa between Jul 11 and Oct 3 1982.
In 1986, the Eugenio Costa sailed 11 days cruise from Genoa between May 5 to Nov 11 1986.
Dose anyone know when the Eugenio C or the Eugenio Costa started full-time as a cruise ship out of Genoa in the seasons of Spring - Autumn?

Anyhow I'm not sure but I'm thinking that she stayed in Europe year-round from 1988 or 1989... At some point she was fitted with propellers that were more efficient but lowered her maximum speed. I think that was the same time when she stopped her regular crossings.

A real shame that this ship had such bad luck after Costa, she was a beauty. Her profile is still gorgeous.
Incidentally I've received information from a shipbroker saying that she has NOT been sold... I can't say if they're right or wrong but it's certainly interesting.
In 1976, She sailed from Genoa to Buenos Aires in 12 - 13 days.
Does anyone know how many days did she taken from genoa to Buenos Aires(or Rio de Janeiro) after 1987 refit?

After 1982 the transatlantic positioning from Italy to South America were around 16-17 days if the ships stopped in Rio de Janeiro or Santos, and 18-19 days if she reached Buenos Aires ( depending from the ports of call featured in the cruise ). The Eugenio Costa generally spent three days in the Atlantic Ocean, crossing from the Canary Islands to the Brasilian Coast. She was always a very popular and loved ship in South America, even during her last years with Costa.

The Big Red Boat II was an unmitigated disaster! If she was in such good shape, she would have spent more time sailing that broken down in the summer of 2000.
Constant breakdowns of her engines, AC, loss of electrical power? How you can call that "good condition" is beyond me.

Face it, if even some Greek won't touch it, and they're getting rid of theirs, there's only the route to Alang left.
