AIDA launches cruise season in Warnemünde
On Friday morning, AIDAdiva was the first cruise ship in the AIDA fleet to dock at Pier 8 of the Warnemünde Cruise Center this year. The 252-meter-long and 32.2-meter-wide ship arrived from Copenhagen with some 2,200 guests on board. AIDAdiva’s trip continued directly that evening when it set sail at around 6:00 p.m. for a short cruise to the Baltic.<?xml:namespace prefix="o" ns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office"?>
“We are delighted that we will once again have two AIDA ships sailing from Warnemünde in the summer season 2015. In total AIDAdiva and AIDAmar will be passing the lighthouse and the pier 38 times,” says Hansjörg Kunze, AIDA’s corporate spokesman.
This season AIDAdiva will be a guest in Warnemünde 14 times between May 8 and August 30, 2015, and will mainly be offering ten-day Baltic cruises to St. Petersburg, Stockholm and Gdansk.
The second ship, AIDAmar, will set sail from Warnemünde on May 9, 2015. It will be making 24 one-week Baltic cruises. AIDAmar’s season will end in Warnemünde on October 17, 2015 with a real highlight: a transatlantic crossing via Norway, Greenland and Canada to New York.
For sailing fans, another high point will be the cruises to Hanse Sail. On August 6 and 9, 2015, guests will be able to savor the spectacular backdrop from the pool deck, as the ship sets sail and docks. AIDA ships will also be at the Rostock Port Parties on May 12 and 30.
Anyone who would like to see the AIDA ships before taking a cruise will have many opportunities to do so between May and September. A visit includes a tour of around three hours, and lunch on board. The price of 49 euros per person will be converted into board credit of 50 euros for guests who book an AIDA cruise within three months of attending the tour. Children up to and including the age of 15 can visit free of charge. Guests can register online at www.aida.de/schiffsbesuche.
Staterooms are still available for cruises starting from Warnemünde. Trips can be booked at travel agencies, at www.aida.de and the AIDA Customer Center at +49 (0)381/ 20 27 07 07.
