Costa Victoria is a cruise ship for Costa Cruises. She debuted in 1996 and was refurbished in 2004. She was designed to reflect the spirit of Italy. Features include the panoramic Concorde Plaza, an indoor pool, the ultramodern Pompei Spa, and the seven deck Planetarium Atrium. It was intended to built this ship a sister, but as the shipyard went bankrupt the unfinished hull was sold to Norwegian Cruise Line. The ship eventually came in service as the Norwegian Sky. A third sister was built, named the Norwegian Sun.

In 2004 the ship got an extensive rebuilt, in which a total of 246 balconies were added to the accommodations (decks 9, 10 & 11) -- a first for an existing cruise ship -- along with an extension of the buffet terrace and adding promenades on Deck 11.
