Perla was delivered on April 27 and christened in Palma de Mallorca on June 30 (during the 7-day Inaugural cruise June 24 – July 1) from Barcelona. The ship's launch (float-out ceremony) was at 7 pm on August 21, 2018. The vessel was floated out from MEYER WERFT's covered building (drydock 2) and was berthed at yard’s pier for outfitting. Due to construction issues, vessel's delivery was delayed and the inaugural cruise rescheduled for December 19 (originally planned for December 2). On September 21, 2017, Neptun shipyard (Rostock) completed vessel's 3-decks high first (out of 2) engine room block (length 120 m / 394 ft, width 42 m / 138 ft).
AIDAmar Review
(Only important announcements, involving safety drills and embarkation/disembarkation instruction, are in German and English.) Crew speak German and English. The Faroe Islands have a population of about 50,000 and kill each year over 1,000 pilot whales. You can see the cruise ship schedule of Torshavn - Faroes most visited port. All cruise lines with scheduled visits to the Faroes are accused of supporting the brutal whaling practices. Whaling is still officially approved and carried out by the "civilized" countries Japan, Norway, and Iceland, killing over 2000 whales each year and trading in whale products. 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.

This venue is hopping until late, with entertainment beginning after dinner, flowing beer and group singing. Due to the COVID pandemic, AIDA suspended its entire fleet's passenger shipping operations (all liners) canceling all voyages with pre-scheduled departures in the period March 14, 2020, through late-April 2021. Operations temporarily resumed on October 17 with AIDAblu (7-day Mediterranean from Civitavecchia-Rome, through Nov 28) and fleetwide on November 1.

(Coronavirus crisis) passenger shipping pause 2020-2021
AIDA offers cruises to North America, Northern Europe, Western Europe, Southeast Asia, Canary Islands, Mediterranean, Caribbean, Baltic Sea, Red Sea, Black Sea and Dubai cruises. Discover the world on a cruise with AIDA, meet old and new friends and indulge in a boundless range of wellness, culinary delights and activity - simply a vacation with a smile. On , you can also find deals regarding travel packages, cruises, short trips, early saver discounts, city tours and voyages. Indoors you'll find the unique AIDA Golf putting green and golf simulator. This Sphinx-class cruise ship weighs 69,203 gross tons and has a guest capacity of 2,050; its sailings can be booked from August 3, 2022. AIDAmar will now sail on attractive routes to Scandinavia or to Norway on nine- and ten-day cruises for the upcoming summer season.
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. "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). Serving mainly the German-speaking market, AIDA operates the Nova ship with fly-cruise deals from Germany and also from the UK.
Fun fact is that 200 t of paint was the total weight applied and 1,700 km of cables laid. The ship features a brewery, an additional deck, a vast (25,000 ft2) wellness complex. Its 7 restaurants occupy a total area of over ft2, while the Sun Deck is sized ft2. It features the activity area "Four Elements" (based on water, air, fire, and earth). Guests can have their best "AIDA fun" on the two water slides, or to try rock climbing, or any other activities on the ship's sports deck.
AIDA Cruises
In order to make the most informed decision and decide when is the right time to cruise, we’ve included an additional feature that shows how crowded is each cruise destination. AIDAnova has a total of 2600 passenger staterooms in 21 categories and on 11 cabin decks. A new type is the Einzelkabine (Single Cabin), which is planned to be introduced fleetwide during AIDA's next scheduled drydock refurbishments. A new suite-type is the Duplex Suite (aft on Deck 12), which is a 2-deck accommodation sized 73 m2 (with 20-m2 private sundeck).
In this way, the community offers real added value to both our fans and our potential guests.Naturally, we are also active on YouTube, Twitter and Google+, providing information about vacationing with AIDA. Cabins onboard are mostly standard insides and outsides; while of average size, the bright and cheerful furnishings make them more attractive than most mass-market cabins. There are only a few balcony cabins and suites; most passengers on this ship will be more interested in having fun in the public rooms than spending time hiding away in their private quarters. While cabins are comfortable and relatively spacious, amenities are somewhat bare-bones when compared with what you might expect when sailing lines more traditionally targeted toward North American passengers. The tradeoff is plenty of storage space and room to walk and lounge comfortably -- especially in balcony cabins, which feature full-sized couches. The 117-day full voyage (roundtrip from Hamburg) visits 41 ports and 17 countries.
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. AIDAmar, just like the sisterships, was built around company's "club resort" concept. These vessels are designed to attract young and active passengers from Germany. The language spoken on board is German, as the majority of AIDA cruise ship passengers are Germans and German-speaking Europeans (Austrians, Swiss).
With 17 restaurants offering wide range of culinary delights and gourmet highlights guests sailing on AIDA nova can enjoy new and innovative gastronomy concepts. There are 5 specialty restaurants, 6 a la carte restaurants, 5 buffet dining areas and a snack bar. The entertainment restaurant Time Machine, combines the dinner experience with a show inviting you to travel back in time and thus combines cuisine and entertainment in an unforgettable experience. The dining experineces in the 5 specialty restaurants as well as full board with a choice of drinks in the 5 buffet restaurants are already included in the cruise price.
Unlike traditional cruise ship theaters, which are enclosed and generally found at the front of ships, this one is smack-dab in the middle of the action. It also features no walls, so passengers just walking by can pause to take in the action. It spans three decks, and passengers can watch the action on the stage or sit in booths and nooks nearby while watching on TVs. Entertainment takes place here throughout the day, and passengers drop by and leave as they please. 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).
The AIDAdiva will also make its debut in San Francisco, passing the Golden Gate Bridge on her way into port. En route to Singapore, the ship will head for the beaches of Hawaii, where guests will spend New Year’s Eve in Honolulu. AIDAaura entered service in 2003 as the third ship to join the AIDA fleet. Like the identical, 2002-built AIDAvita, it is an enlarged and improved version of the original Aida (now AIDAcara). As with all all AIDA ships, it was specially designed around the line's ultra-casual "club ship" concept. With a guest capacity of 2,686, the Sphinx-class ship was christened in Hamburg on May 12, 2012, and weighs a total of 71,304 gross tons.
From February 2024, 3 “Winter in the far north” itineraries are included in the program. AIDAbella visits Indonesia’s Lombok, Bali, Java, and Surabaya, along with destinations in Vietnam and Cambodia in January 2024. In March 2024, AIDAbella's Easter Voyage (21 days) visits Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Vietnam, and Japan (5 ports are maiden for the ship and 3 are new for AIDA / Kochi, Nagasaki, Tokyo). AIDA operates the German vacation cruising market with modern vessels and 140+ different itineraries visiting 250+ ports worldwide.
