The Ship
AIDAnova is the first ship of the new Helios Class and was put into service in December 2018. The 337-metre long cruise ship was built by the Meyer Werft in Papenburg, Germany. There are 2,500 guest staterooms and 20 decks. AIDA Cruises started a Green Cruising Concept. For the first time in the world a cruise ship can be powered with environmentally friendly liquefied natural gas completely. AIDAnova was awarded the "Blue Angel" eco-label for its environmentally friendly ship design. The innovations regarding the entertainment, restaurants and bars are on a higher level in comparison to the other ships of the fleet.
About AIDA Cruises

There is no fixed table order and you are welcome to leave your formal attire at home. AIDA Cruises convinces with a variety of buffets, a good sports program and varied entertainment. The age structure on board is mixed and depends on the destination. Young couples and families in particular quickly find a connection here.
