The Genoa Sestri Shipyard Shipbuilding in the Sestri Ponente shipyard started at the beginning of the 1800s, and has created arguably some of the more outstanding cruise vessels to sail the world's seas. The shipyard covers an area of approximately 248,000 sq. m., of which 81,000 are covered. This is expected to expand dramatically with the planned acquisition of state- owned areas to the west and to the east. Costa Fortuna At Sunset: Measuring 892 x 124 ft.
