Cruise ship stuck in Hamburg due to storm surge - AIDA Cruises' Aidaperla Delayed in Hamburg Due to Storm Surges
The cruise ship 'Aidaperla', operated by AIDA Cruises, has been delayed in Hamburg due to storm surges and bad weather. The ship was initially set to depart for Bergen, Norway on Saturday but has been unable to leave the harbor since then.
The delay comes as a result of persistent poor weather conditions and the Elbe's closure to certain ship classes. 'Aidaperla' has only changed its berth within the harbor and is now awaiting a suitable departure window. This window is expected to open until Monday night, according to the latest information.
The cruise ship, associated with AIDA Cruises and part of the Carnival Corporation & plc, has experienced an unexpected setback in its scheduled journey. Passengers and crew are now hoping for a safe departure once the weather improves and the Elbe reopens.
