Fitness reigns supreme on the Costa Atlantica with the three top decks devoted to getting lots of sun, working out or having a treatment at the spa. The focus of Deck 9 is the twin swimming pools. One of these pools is suitable for any time of the year with a retractable dome so that you can take your morning swim whatever the weather is like outside. At the aft end of the ship you will find another swimming pool, called the Aurora, which is not usually all that crowded because the majority of passengers tend to congregate around the twin pools named Ginger and Fred.

The Olympia Gym and the Ischia Spa take up two levels of the ship. The gym contains the best of fitness equipment where you can work out on your own at any time. Indulge in one of many different treatments at the spa where the trained hands of the technicians will mold and tone your muscles. There are four whirlpools on the ship, one of which is located inside the gym. The other three whirlpools are located adjacent to the main swimming pools.



When you are in the gym, the glass wall provides you with a spectacular view of the stern of the ship. The equipment is Technogym giving you an option of manual or automatic operation. If you choose the automatic operation, you will be guided through the workout by the computer generated program that you can gear toward your fitness level. At the end of the session you will receive a readout of how well you did as well as suggestions of what you can do in another workout.

One of the best possible work outs on the Costa Atlantica is to take a walk or jog on the track on Deck 11. The track is large enough to accommodate both walkers and joggers who wish to encircle the ship. Enjoying the fresh ocean air as you work out in this way is an enjoyable experience, but the panoramic views that you have from this vantage point on the ship. It takes about 3.5 circuits of this track to complete one mile. On Deck 11 you will also find a children’s pool, which also has a waterslide.
