Mis en service en 1966 le paquebot EUGENIO C est un des derniers paquebots italiens à avoir été construit pour la ligne transatlantique de l'Amérique du Sud.
Son dessin est superbe et il présente une face avant des superstructures courbe et arrondie lui conférant un dessin moderne.
Il a effectué son voyage inaugural pour Rio de Janeiro le 31 août 1966. Il a servi pour la compagnie Costa jusqu'en 1996. A la fin des années 80 il prend le nom de Eugenio Costa. Il est le navire amiral de la flotte Costa.
Il portera ensuite le nom de Edimburgh Castle et de Big Red Boat II. En plus du dépôt de bilan de sa dernière compagnie des ennuis mécaniques le conduiront vers les chantiers de démolition d'Alang en 2008.
