Operations temporarily resumed on October 17 with AIDAblu (7-day Mediterranean from Civitavecchia-Rome, through Nov 28) and fleetwide on November 1. However, on Oct 29, due to Germany's imposed public life and travel restrictions, AIDA canceled all voyages through Nov 30. AIDAperla and AIDAmar were scheduled for 7-day ex-Gran Canaria roundtrips (in the Canaries) starting December 5, but the program was canceled. In July 2015, Carnival Corporation signed a shipbuilding agreement with Meyer Werft for the construction of all 4 new class vessels.

Guests can now Work & Travel aboard AIDA Cruises' ships
The LNG-powered AIDAnova cruise ship is the largest to ever call at the Kalundborg Cruise Port in Denmark. AIDA Cruises invites you to embark on a vacation cruise across Northern Europe on the AIDAnova cruise ship. During your trip, you will see a variety of towns and locations, some of which include glacier-carved fjords, man-made canals, Scandinavia, the Baltic Sea, Iceland, and the British Isles. The first 4-day itinerary was scheduled to depart on November 15th (right after the ship's delivery) from Oslo to Hamburg (arriving on November 19th). The event was unique as it was the first shipyard christening ceremony in over 20 years. The decision was made to express AIDA's gratitude to all the workers who contributed to the liner's construction.
AIDAprima
AIDAnova (from Kiel) operates the 7-day “Baltic Sea from Kiel” or the 14-day “Norway and Baltic Sea” voyages with departure dates between May 6-October 21, 2023. Call ports include Norway's Oslo and Kristiansand, and Denmark’s Copenhagen and Skagen. AIDA's newest class of cruise vessels (succeeding the Hyperion-Class ships AIDAprima and AIDAperla) is called "Helios-class". Dining is entirely open-seating and takes place in two or three complementary self-service restaurants. Being without MDRs (main dining rooms), the ship's buffet is the conceptual substitute.
AIDAnova is homeported in Kiel (October-November 2023) and in Hamburg (November 2023 thru May 2024) visiting ports in Norway and Denmark. As of 2023, AIDA offers 5750 shore excursions globally, of which ~780 emphasize sustainable tourism. The project was for the 3x SPHINX-class units (Diva, Bella, Luna) with each drydocking taking ~6 weeks. AIDAdiva is scheduled for drydocking in 2025-Q2, AIDAbella - in 2025-Q3, and AIDAluna - in 2026-Q2. Next tables show the inaugural cruises updated in November 2018 (following the delay). Next short cruises were planned to depart from Hamburg to either Oslo Norway or Rotterdam Holland.
How to Choose Cruises to Norwegian Fjords
AIDA ships use just 3 liters (0,8 US gallons) of fuel on average per person on board for a 100 km (62 ml) trip. Thanks to the use of new technologies and the economical handling of resources, additional progress was made. The AIDAprima ship's first successful test run for LNG supply was in Hamburg Germany on May 7, 2016. While berthed, the ship was successfully provided with LNG at all the itinerary's ports of call (Hamburg, Rotterdam, Le Havre, Southampton, Zeebrugge).
"AIDA Open Air" show featured laser and lighting effects (produced by 20 laser projectors, over 300 stroboscopic lamps, over 100 floodlights-spotlights) and two acrobats gliding over the water. Instead of a Godmother, the liner has a "god family" (Mirza, from Hanau / Hesse, Germany) - Asad (33 yo) and Sonja (31), and their kids Adrian (3 yo) and Sophia (2 yo). On December 11, 2017, the vessel's stern (aft) section was delivered to the Papenburg yard.
The smaller rooms are with walk-in closet, while the larger rooms are with extra lounge space (with comfortable window seating). The LNG-powered ship has a total of 17 restaurants, including six à la carte restaurants, five specialty restaurants, and five buffet restaurants. AIDAmar (from Warnemunde-Rostock) operates 9- and 10-day roundtrips to Scandinavia and Norway, visiting 3 Nordic capitals (Stockholm, Oslo, Copenhagen), along with Aarhus, Gothenburg/Goteborg, and Visby.
AIDA Cruises cancels Red Sea repositioning for 3 ships
Embark on a journey and find out your perfect cruise holyday with this year’s itinerary schedules and the latest offers on board AIDAnova. In order to make most informative decision and decide when is the right time to cruise, we’ve included an additional feature that shows how crowded is each cruise destination. Verandah Deluxe DL is a "family cabin" type featuring a separate Patio (Lounge Room) between the cabin and the balcony, with access to both areas via slide-opening glass doors. The Patio is sized 7 m2 (75 ft2) and temperature-controlled (via cabin's heater). The ship’s Lanai deck is also equipped with restaurants, bars and a Lanai Bar at the stern, which allows guests to stroll around the entire ship. The ship’s other features include three giant water slides, a water park, a climbing garden and a mini golf course, as well as a wide range of public areas and deck spaces for relaxing.
Follows the complete list of AIDAnova lounges, clubs and other entertainment venues for kids, teens, and adults. Verandah Deluxe is a "family cabin" type due to the proximity to Activity Deck Four Elements, Wave Club and Kids Club. Category JA (Junior Suite with two bathrooms) is the larger stateroom with included private sundeck (28 m2), full bathroom (WC, shower, single-sink) plus guest bathroom (WC, washbasin).
By this project, the three vessels will be completely overhauled, refitted and upgraded with new technologies and equipment and systems. The Theatrium will be enhanced with new seating arrangements and a color scheme. The Cube dance club and the Casino also offer night-time live entertainment.
For the first time in the world a cruise ship can be powered with environmentally friendly liquefied natural gas completely. AIDAnova was awarded the "Blue Angel" eco-label for its environmentally friendly ship design. The innovations regarding the entertainment, restaurants and bars are on a higher level in comparison to the other ships of the fleet. All affected bookings received full refunds, including on prepurchased through AIDA packages and services. For the period, all the company's employees had the options to either remain onboard or leave the vessel and return home (without terminating the job contract with AIDA Kreuzfahrten).
Since the start, it's been our aim to provide the latest cruise news covering all the major cruise lines. We make sure cruisers are fully prepared for their cruise vacation with tips on ships and ports.Millions of travelers rely on Cruise Hive in the United States, Europe, Australia, and around the world. On December 21, 2021, AIDA Cruises took delivery of its newest cruise ship AIDAcosma in Bremerhaven, from the Meyer shipyard in Papenburg, Germany. The AIDA Cruises ship arrived in the Danish port with 3,900 passengers and 1,200 crew for its transit call. Guests disembarked in the city with shuttles from the port and ventured on their excursions to destinations such as Copenhagen. The port operates under Global Ports Holding (GPH), the world’s largest cruise port operator, and recently joined the network of ports in October 2021.
