Genoa, June 20,2018 – Costa Cruises confirms itscommitment to revisiting the theme of foodin a sustainable way, presenting a new project dedicated to the youngest guestsof its ships, created in collaboration with Barilla, the University ofParma and Madegus - Masters of Taste.
The purpose is raising awareness among children on the value of food andproper nutrition, proposing a newonboard menu related to a funny and educational game.
The gastronomic offer for children has been entirely modified, accordingto the principles of the Mediterraneandiet and food variety. Pasta, fruits and vegetables will be the leadingitems of new dishes. This will enable parents on vacation aboard Costa ships toinclude, in their children's diet, foods that stimulate the growth of body andmind, so that they never miss healthy habits, even on vacation.
Children will have seven menuoptions available to choose from, each identified by a special name: RedPlanet, Yellow Planet, White Planet, Purple Planet, Green Planet, HiddenTreasure, and Rainbow. Tomato, fresh cheese andfrankfurter pizza; Barilla mini-penne with cream, peas and ham; crescenza cheese withbattered slices of carrot; legumotti in tomato sauce with tuna, olives andmozzarella cheese; 5-grain fusilli pasta with vegetable carbonara are just afew of the delights offered.
Whenever the small guests choose one of seven menu options dedicated tothem in the Main Restaurant or during lunch with the leaders of the Squok Club,they will receive a package containing 10playing cards, illustrated by the famous Italian cartoonist Fogliazza, with colorful and original characters representingthe 5 colors of fruits and vegetables.Children can collect and exchange all the cards (from a total of 85) with eachother and continue the game once they get back home.
This makes fruits and vegetables part of children's lives through playand fun, increasing their awareness about the importance of a healthy diet,even on vacation.
Therefore, Costa becomes the spokesperson for a responsible conduct,healthy principles and lifestyles through an approach directly involving theguests onboard and the staff. The desire is that the ships of the fleet will beexperienced as a real home, where sharing exciting experiences and, mostly,thinking about the future, especially for the younger generations.
