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.
Since 1996, the AIDA fleet has been sailing the world's oceans 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.
Onboard you can select your favourite stateroom out of 20 different categories. For the first time there are interior and balcony staterooms for solo travellers and a two-storey Penthouse Suite. The new Deluxe staterooms with balcony are very suitable for families because these staterooms are available for up to five passengers. All staterooms are furnished very modern, light coloured and equipped with a comfortable sofa. In many staterooms there is a walk-in closet as well. The temperature of the air condition can be changed very easily. Bathrobes, a hairdryer, a TV, a telephone and a safe belong to the basic euipment of the staterooms. In the balcony staterooms there is a hammock in addition.
Guests of all ages feel comfortable in the informal and relaxed atmosphere. A varied daily programme, sports and entertainment make the time passing fast. Apart from the main attractions you will always find a calm place to read a good book or to enjoy a tasty cocktail.
