AIDAperla

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. By October 2023, all ships in the fleet will be equipped with SpaceX's innovative Starlink broadband service.

AIDAperla is the second ship of the Hyperion class and the sister ship of AIDAprima. It was built in Nagasaki/Japan and put into service in 2017. With a length of 300 meters, it offers space for 3,300 passengers on 18 decks. As the 12th member of the AIDA fleet, the ship was christened by godmother Lena Gercke on June 30, 2017 in the port of Palma de Mallorca.

There is hardly anything left unfulfilled on AIDAperla. No matter whether Italian, Spanish, French, Asian, American or good middle-class - there is something for every taste. The on-board activities are aimed particularly at families with children, which is why the cruise ship is particularly popular for Familienkreuzfahrten. The Four Elements offers a wide range of games and sports as well as a family-friendly restaurant. The extensive childcare offer (Mini Club , Kids & Teens Club) ensures a stress-free family vacation. But other age groups are not neglected either, be it with bingo or poker in the casino, with evening entertainment on the large and small stages, with art auctions or with a relaxed whiskey tasting or brewing seminar.

Particularly popular travel destinations are Norway cruises , Western Europe cruises , Caribbean cruises , Mediterranean cruises and Transatlantic cruises . Cruises from Hamburg are also regularly on the schedule. No matter which route you choose, miracles large and small are waiting to be discovered everywhere.
