Felix Eichhorn,
President AIDA Cruises, said, "We are seeing very strong interest for AIDA
cruises across all channels. The record level of bookings covers the entire
cruise program for 2023 and beyond. We are delighted that the AIDA fleet is on
top of so many people's minds when planning their vacations and that - whether
for the first time or for a repeat - they are embracing our multi-faceted
travel offering to the world's most beautiful destinations."
AIDA Cruises is well
prepared for the increasing booking interest: The variety of routes with the
ships of the AIDA fleet ranges from fascinating north country voyages to
unforgettable getaways in the Mediterranean, the Adriatic Sea and around the
Canary Islands to dream holidays in the Caribbean and the Arabian Gulf. In
particular for the long-haul destinations, AIDA has currently provided
additional flight contingents for sun-hungry guests. AIDA voyages can already
be booked until the fall of 2024.
Booking quickly is
particularly worthwhile for families who are now planning their vacation during
the 2023 summer and fall vacations: Children up to 15 years of age travel free
of charge in their parents' cabin in the 3rd and 4th bed when booking a cruise
from the diverse 2023 AIDA summer program by January 31, 2023. For families,
the seven-day voyages from/to Kiel with AIDAnova to Norway and Denmark or the
one-week highlight route "Mediterranean Treasures from Mallorca" with
AIDAcosma are attractive, for example. Both ships are real family paradises.
Kids can climb the treetops in the climbing garden and race down the giant
water slides over three decks. Meanwhile, parents can enjoy the Caribbean
feeling under palm trees in the neighboring Beach Club. The water playground
and mini-golf landscape also provide lots of fun. The whole family comes
together in the Fuego family restaurant with children's buffet and baby bistro.
On board both ships, the Deluxe veranda cabins offer extra space for families.
Ashore, AIDA organizes family-friendly tours and even excursions especially for
teens.
Not only for
families, but for all vacation planners, there are tempting offers in summer
and fall 2023 to the most exciting places in Europe. From the German ports of
Hamburg, Kiel and Warnemünde, for example, it's off to Scandinavia with the
popular classics Copenhagen and Stockholm, Gotland and Gdansk/Gdynia.
With breathtaking
natural spectacles, rugged coastlines, seemingly endless fjords and hospitable
fishing villages, Norway is always worth a visit. Other exciting routes lead to
the Lofoten Islands and the North Cape, along the Atlantic west coast, around
England and Scotland. The 3- to 5-day short trips from Hamburg, Kiel and
Warnemünde are also very well received. A particularly large number of routes
to Norway, Sweden, Denmark, London or Scotland are on the program this year -
perfect for an attractive break in between.
Special highlight: In
AIDAaura's farewell season, unique itineraries from southern Africa to the
Arctic Circle are on the program. On March 6, 2023, the almost month-long
voyage from Cape Town to Hamburg will start. Until late summer, the Elbe
metropolis is the starting point for fantastic voyages, including Norway,
Greenland, Iceland, Ireland and Scotland, through the Bay of Biscay, to the
Lofoten Islands, the Orkney and Shetland Islands, and other legendary
destinations.
The Mediterranean and
Adriatic routes offer even more guaranteed sun. In the western Mediterranean,
the great variety of cities and islands can be discovered on 10-day voyages
with AIDAstella. With AIDAblu, guests experience the highlights of the Adriatic
coast from/to Corfu in seven days on the "Adriatic from Corfu" route,
including the Croatian cities of Zadar and Dubrovnik as well as picturesque
Kotor and Bari.
For the winter
2023/2024 early bookers profit likewise from attractive discounts: When booking
until April 30 or June 30, 2023, at the AIDA PREMIUM rate, up to 900 euros
early-booker-plus discount per person for winter departures 2023/24 beckon. The
contingent is limited and applies to the 1st and 2nd person in the cabin.
Further advantages of the AIDA PREMIUM tariff are among other things the choice
of the desire cabin, the Germany far valid AIDA Rail&Fly ticket as well as
on board daily two bottles mineral water and a 250 MB Internet package.
Many voyages can also
be booked at the AIDA PREMIUM All INCLUSIVE rate. In addition to the services
in the PREMIUM rate, it includes the most extensive AIDA beverage package and a
social media flat rate for the entire voyage. The contingent is limited.
All AIDA voyages can
be booked at travel agencies, at the AIDA Customer Center at +49 (0) 381 / 20
27 07 07 or at www.aida.de.
