The initial shot of the illuminated cruise ship against a breathtaking starry night sky.

The ad opens with a wide shot of a large cruise ship illuminated at night under a starry sky. The camera then pans up to show the vast expanse of stars, followed by a close-up of a family (mother, father, and son) looking up in awe. The scene transitions to a graphic with text overlayed on a starry background, then a close-up of the boy's amazed face. The ad concludes with another shot of the cruise ship sailing on the water at night, with the Costa logo prominently displayed.
