Costa Cruises has announced the launch of MyCosta Mobile, a free application for smartphones and tablets that offers Costa guests free and unlimited minutes and texts on board the 14 ships in the fleet when connected to the WiFi network.

Before embarking on a cruise, guests need to simply download MyCosta Mobile from the App Store or Google Play Store and then connect to the ship’s WiFi network once on board to register and launch the app. MyCosta Mobile allows guests to socialise with each other by calling or texting whenever they like, and the App can also be used to contact a cabin or any of the numerous shipboard amenities such as the restaurants, Spa, tour office and much more.

Available on iPhones and iPads using the iOS 5.0 operating system onwards, and smartphones and tablets using Android 2.3 and onwards, the app comes in six different languages; Italian, English, French, German, Spanish and Portuguese.

The app has been created to make cruise holidays with Costa Cruises even more relaxing and will facilitate communication, socialising and interaction both with other guests and with the facilities and services on board.
