Introducing SS Eugenio Costa in Minecraft!
This is a 1:1 scale build of the Costa Cruise Ship SS Eugenio Costa! This build has an interior and features her public spaces, lounges, and outdoor amenities.
About SS Eugenio Costa:
The SS Eugenio Costa, originally named SS Eugenio C, was an Italian-built ocean liner and cruise ship that first set sail in 1966. Constructed by Cantieri Riuniti dell Adriatico, she was launched on November 21, 1964, and christened by Pinuccia Costa Musso. The ship was a significant addition to the Costa Line, intended to replace the Frederico C for the South American service. For a decade, the ship conducted trans-Atlantic voyages between Genoa and South America until the 1970s when she transitioned to cruising due to a drop in passenger loading. In 1984, after extensive renovations, she was renamed Eugenio Costa. However, plans to rebrand her as the American Adventure for American Family Cruises, a branch of Costa, never materialized. The ship completed her last cruise with Costa in November 1996 and changed ownership several times thereafter, undergoing various refits and rebrandings, including Edinburgh Castle and The Big Red Boat II. Unfortunately, due to mechanical issues and financial difficulties among her operators, the Eugenio Costa was eventually laid up and scrapped at Alang, India, in June 2005.

Things to know before you explore
1) I recommend you use the Natural Texture Pack for full immersion. I exclusively build in this texture pack to give my builds a unique look and feel. Here is the Java Link.
2) I build in 1:1 scale, but building in this scale comes with limitations. Some areas may be distorted or compromised due to scale and sizing when building in 1:1. Compromises have to be made in order to complete the build. Some areas may not resemble the actual ship and in those circumstances, I have to fictionalize some aspects about the build to "balance out" the build or to allow player interaction. I fully recognize 1:1 is not a perfect scale to build in but I personally find 1:1 to be the sweet spot for me.
3) I don't build cabins, engine rooms, or crew spaces. The reason is there is little to no information on what some of these spaces actually looked like, so I'd rather not spend the time to build something that I don't have information on. There is dead space on my builds because I primarily focus on class accommodations (Lounges, Dining Rooms, etc) and tend to focus less on passenger corridors, cabins, crew spaces, etc.
