Tourexpi
At
128 days, this XXL adventure will be the longest voyage around the world in the
company's history. Starting in Hamburg, the route will take the ship to four
continents and through 28 countries. For the first time on an AIDA World
Cruise, the east and west coasts of the USA and Japan will be on the itinerary.
Another highlight: New Year's Eve will be celebrated in Hawaii! There will be
53 ports of call - that's more than ever before. The 2025/2026 World Cruise is
now available from 17,495 euros per person*.
Spectacular
Destinations, Unforgettable Experiences
The
itinerary is full of spectacular moments with premiere after premiere: For the
first time, the World Cruise takes guests to the impressive metropolitan
regions of North America. The ship will pass the world-famous Statue of Liberty
before AIDAdiva will dock in New York City. This metropolis of superlatives
vibrates with unbridled creativity, a great sense of freedom and countless
"wow" moments. The streets of Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, and the
Bronx offer a unique blend of art, culture and architecture.
The
next premiere awaits the guests in Colon – with the passage of the Panama
Canal! The "8th Wonder of the World" connects the Atlantic Ocean in
the east with the Pacific Ocean in the west. Thanks to its geographical
location, Panama's flora and fauna is more diverse than anywhere else in
Central America. With views of the lush flora and fauna, guests cross the
country.
Never
before has an AIDA ship been on the U.S. West Coast – AIDAdiva makes its debut
here in San Francisco, where the ship passes the world-famous Golden Gate
Bridge on her way into port. Here you will meet hippies and the Beat
Generation, visionaries, and free thinkers. From cable cars to high tech, from
Alcatraz prison to China Town and Silicon Valley, San Francisco is America's
other wonderful side.
En
route to Singapore, AIDAdiva will head for the beautiful beaches of Hawaii,
where guests will spend New Year's Eve in Honolulu. The capital of Hawaii is a
tropical paradise and a modern American metropolis at the same time. The city's
downtown boasts an excellent food scene and trendy boutiques, while the skyline
is framed by fabulous nature and the famous Waikiki Beach - the perfect place
to ring in the New Year.
Kyoto,
one of Japan's most important cultural cities, and a visit to Tokyo will also
provide unforgettable moments. The capital of the Land of the Rising Sun is an
inspiring place with countless neon signs, great museums, temples and parks,
shopping streets and the most Michelin-starred restaurants in the world. It is
the perfect place to immerse yourself in the interplay and contrast of Japanese
tradition and modernity. Another highlight is Busan, South Korea, the beautiful
unknown and a surprisingly vibrant metropolis with Mediterranean-style
architecture, colorful facades, and the world's largest shopping mall.
In
the last third of the voyage, the world travelers travel from Singapore to the
most beautiful places in the Indian Ocean. In Sri Lanka, Hambantota will be the
new port of call. From here, it is worth visiting the Yala National Park, which
is home to a wide variety of animals. With a bit of luck, you will encounter
elephants, leopards, monkeys and over 130 species of birds.
Guests
can experience the fascinating diversity of India in Mumbai, the vibrant
cultural center of India. The home of the Indian film industry, Bollywood, is
as vibrant and colorful as it is on the big screen. Colorful bazaars and grand
architecture, monumental temples and palaces, delicious multicultural cuisine,
surprisingly beautiful beaches - one thing is certain: the "City of
Dreams" is a single intoxication that captivates everyone.
The
voyage continues through the Arabian Sea and Jordan. A visit to Alexandria,
Egypt, once again promises historical highlights. In ancient times, people from
all over the world flocked to this Mediterranean metropolis. The splendor of
that time can still be felt today in the colorful mix of architectural styles
that make a stroll through the city an exciting journey of discovery. AIDAdiva
will then head north across the Mediterranean with stops in Malta and Lisbon
before docking again in Hamburg on March 18, 2026.
Unparalleled
comfort aboard AIDAdiva
Guests
can expect not only spectacular destinations. Their home for 128 days will also
shine in new splendor: Following her dry dock overhaul in spring 2025, the
fully refurbished AIDAdiva will sail around the world for the first time,
offering even more variety, service, and comfort aboard. A large sundeck with
swimming pools guarantees rest and relaxation for the whole family. In the
restaurants, guests can experience the culinary diversity of the whole world.
If you want to be active, you can visit the gym or the sports deck. And you can
really pamper yourself in the large spa area.
