At Fincantieri’s Marghera shipyard, Costa Diadema recently experienced two construction milestones — the ship’s distinctive yellow and blue funnel was delivered and installed Sept. 16, and the hull section containing the ship’s name was placed Sept. 30.
The 4,947-passenger, 132,500-ton Costa Diadema, which will be the largest Italian-flagged cruise ship, is scheduled for delivery in October 2014.
High-resolution photos of the funnel and hull section will be available until Oct. 15, 2013, at: https://www.yousendit.com/download/OGhmRkJUVEhCTW52bk1UQw
