  • AIDA Cruises Will Resume Cruise Operations with Fall and Winter Voyages
    AIDA Cruises Will Resume Cruise Operations with Fall and Winter Voyages Germany's leading cruise line will begin Canary Island cruises in November, Western Mediterranean and Orient cruises in mid-December and extends pause until November ROSTOCK, Germany, Aug. 28, 2020 -- AIDA Cruises, the leading cruise line in Germany and a part of Carnival Corporation & plc (NYSE/LSE: CCL; NYSE: CUK), today announced that it will offer cruises this fall and winter that combine the fascination of a cruise trip with an unforgettable holiday experience to several popular destinations. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the conditions are currently not in place in Germany's neighbouring European countries, especially in the north with Norway and Denmark or the Baltic states. For many distant destinations outside of Europe, the Federal Republic of Germany has issued a travel warning or the respective countries have prohibited calls of cruise ships until 2021. As a result, the company has cancelled its previously announced cruises for September and has updated its fall and winter 2020-2021 program to provide its guests and sales partners additional time to plan and book vacations for a safe and enjoyable return to cruise holidays. As the first ship from the AIDA fleet to begin sailing, AIDAmar will set course on Nov. 1, 2020, for seven-day voyages to the Canary Islands, a popular destination with German vacationers. AIDAperla will follow on Nov. 7, 2020, and will take over the travel program originally planned for AIDAnova. AIDAmar's voyages will start and end in Las Palmas, Gran Canaria. For voyages with AIDAperla, in addition to Las Palmas, AIDA Cruises will offer a second departure port with Santa Cruz de Tenerife.

  • Press Release
    Press Release The first AIDA ship of the cruise season docks in Hamburg on Saturday With 74 arrivals, AIDA Cruises is the Hanseatic city’s most important cruise partner On Saturday, February 27, 2016, the first cruise ship of the season – AIDAmar from AIDA Cruises – arrives in Hamburg. Coming from Le Havre, the ship will dock at the Steinwerder Cruise Center at 8 a.m. AIDAmar spent the winter in the Caribbean. The captain of the 253-meter long and 28-meter wide ship is Jörg Miklitza. He will steer AIDAmar back out of the port of Hamburg by 6 p.m. already and set its course on Southampton, Le Havre, Zeebrugge and Amsterdam. With its 74 arrivals, the AIDA season 2016 in Hamburg will be the strongest ever in the company’s history. Between the first arrival on February 27 and the last arrival on December 31, 2016, a total of six AIDA ships will travel to the metropolitan center on the Elbe. These numbers underscore the strong position of AIDA Cruises in Hamburg and the extraordinary economic significance of the company for the Hanseatic city. As of April 30, 2016, AIDAprima will start taking one-week round trips throughout the year to great Western European cities and will be the most frequent guest with 36 arrivals. No other cruise ship has ever visited the Hanseatic city as often in one year. AIDAprima is the first cruise ship with a shore power connection, a comprehensive system for exhaust gas aftertreatment, and a dual fuel engine.
