About the ship
Considered one of the largest cruise ships in Europe, Costa Magica has a very Italian feel to it. The walls are lined with 5500 pieces of impressionist-style artwork and posters and many of the rooms have Italian names. There is an onsite spa with Turkish baths, saunas and a new fitness centre that offers classes for an additional fee. Outside, there are 4 pools and 5 hot tubs, as well as a waterslide, kids club and pool, sports pitch and running track.
Guests will be able to dine at the 4 onboard restaurants, and drinks and snacks are available from any of the 11 available bars and lounges. Cabins are spacious for a cruise ship and have a full ensuite, TV and nightly turndown service. Private balconies are available on Balcony Cabins and Suites, while Outside Cabins will have a window with sea views.
Note!: As this cruise finishes in Marseille, you'll need to find your own way back to the UK. Luckily Ryanair and easyJet have some cheap options to get you back from £21pp
Enjoy :smile:

With that décor, I'd need another holiday to recover from being subjected to it for 12 days

I would avoid both Costa and MSC personally. £50 pppn in September isn't an amazing rate for an inside cabin on Costa.

Cruise ends in Marseille, so need to add on the cost of return flights:confused:
Edit: Apologies - the need for return flights is stated in the OP.

I voted hot, and I'm not knocking the OP, because I recognise the quote below is copypasta, not the OP's work.
"Considered"? Huh? Isn't whether or not it's one of the largest cruise ships in Europe a matter of fact, not of opinion?
Now if it had said, "Considered one of the ugliest cruise ships in Europe," fair enough. And with those internal photos to back it up, I'd certainly not dispute the opinion.

Apparently that guy would rather holiday in Dover! ^
On a completely unrelated note, I used to use a site where I could just put in a few criteria and it'd show me the best deals by day, It meant I could pick a vague date and then see what was cheap around then. I thought that was holiday pirates but I can no longer see that feature, any ideas?
