Costa SerenaThe Costa Crociere Group has reported revenues of 2.9 billion euro for its fiscal year 2010, up from 2.6 billion in 2009, for a 12 percent increase. The company also reported carrying 2.2 million passengers for a total of 16.8 million passenger cruise days in 2010, compared to 1.8 million passengers and 14.5 million passenger cruise days in 2009.
