The two new ships will be called the Costa Fascinosa and the Costa Favolosa and will be launched over the next two years. The final decision on the names was based upon how well the Costa concepts of emotion, glamour, passion and magic were reflected in their title.

The city of London’s Sainsbury’s supermarket stores have been installed with a series of recharging points for electric cars, with the shoppers being able to plug in their vehicles while they go shopping at no cost.
Vehicles such as the battery operated Reva G-Wiz can top up at the charge points which will allow them around an 80% recharge in just 1.5 hours. The cars usually take 8 hours to fully charge their battery which gives approximately 70 miles worth of power.
