Niel Palomba, 37, is the youngest executive running a major cruise line in the world. He also represents a new era for Costa, as Europe’s largest cruise company evolves following the deadly Concordia wreck in 2012 and the more recent terrorist attack in Tunisia in March that claimed the lives of several passengers on a shore excursion to the Museo Bardo.

Since coming over from rival MSC Cruises last year, Palomba has preached safety. He also has reemphasized the line’s Italian roots — something Costa has marketed before — and rolled out the 3,724-passenger Costa Diadema.
