When the sister ships set sail together in the evening, goosebumps are guaranteed for all AIDA fans ashore and guests on board. On the subsequent voyage of AIDAsol, audience favourite Beatrice Egli will provide further unforgettable highlights: For almost 10 years, Beatrice Egli has been one of the most successful artists in German-language pop hits. With her rousing power mix of modern sounds, contemporary lyrics and Swiss charm, she will thrill guests with an exclusive live concert on board on 16 April 2023.
