Get ready to set sail on two brand new ocean liners, as Aida Cruises, a leading cruise line based in Rostock, Germany and part of the massive Carnival Corporation, has announced a major expansion to their fleet! These stylish vessels, each housing approximately 2,100 cabins, are part of a billion-dollar investment that will grow Aida's fleet to a total of 13 ships.
These state-of-the-art ships, slated to debut in spring 2030 and winter 2031/2032, will be custom-built by the renowned Fincantieri shipyards in Italy. The contract is signed, dependent solely on final financing. Aida's decision to expand is a direct response to demand for cruises in Germany – positioning themselves at the forefront of the cruise market.
These environmentally-conscious vessels will be powered by Multi-Fuel Propulsion Systems, allowing them to run on various types of fuel, including Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), which greatly reduces carbon emissions compared to traditional marine fuels. In the future, they will also undergo adaptations for bio and e-fuels as these options become more widely available.
Aida Cruises is committed to green cruising, and these new ships are a significant step towards their broader objective of "future-proofing" their operations to comply with environmental regulations and exemplify sustainable cruising practices. Keep an eye out for more details on the ships' striking designs and exciting itineraries in the coming months!
