Splash out this Mother’s Day with a luxury Costa Cruise

Forget breakfast in bed – treat your Mum to a whole week or more of unadulterated pampering. Onboard Costa Cruises, Mum can sit back, relax and enjoy being waited on hand and foot, only exerting energy to take a dip in the pool or to go ashore and explore an exotic city or palm-fringed beach.

Here’s a selection of the best Mother’s Day cruises, all departing on 13 March 2010:
