Canary Islands Cruise with AIDAluna

The AIDA fleet has been sailing the world's oceans since 1996 and has been very successful on the German cruise market with a casual and informal concept. 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. AIDA Cruises is very popular with cruise newcomers, but many guests who have once traveled on an AIDA ship also return again and again enthusiastically. German is spoken almost exclusively on board.

If the ship is in a port different shore excursions including the most beautiful places of the area take place. Especially the shore excursions by bicycle, segway, canoe or stand up paddle enjoy increasing popularity because one gets to know the places in a very different and unique way. The program aboard is varied. In the Theatrium art auctions, readings and lectures take place. The shows which are presented in the evening are produced exclusively at AIDA Entertainment in Hamburg, Germany. There is live music in the AIDA Bar and theme parties take place at the pool deck or in the Anytime Bar. During a 7-day cruise approximately 30 sports classes are offered and one can participate in most of them for free. At the outside sports area football, volleyball and basketball matches and tournaments take place. The best place to relax after coming back to the ship or after doing sports is the Body & Soul Spa. Book a wellness treatment e.g. a massage or visit one of the three saunas which are free of cost.

We recommend a holiday aboard AIDAluna for families, couples as well as for solo travellers due to the variety of the ship's facilities and the sporty and entertaining program. A welcoming andf familiar atmosphere is caused by the size of AIDAluna.
