Christmas and New Year’s Eve aboard AIDA
Every year, what is supposed to be a peaceful season ends in shopping frenzies, gift marathons, and family stress. Why not give yourself a gift, leave Santa Claus a message, and enjoy the last days of the year totally relaxed on board one of AIDA's ships? AIDA Cruises vacations range from city cruises in the Mediterranean to visits to Caribbean dream islands and voyages to the most beautiful destinations in the Orient and Southeast Asia. Wide as the variety may be, there's one thing that all of these vacations offer: sunny and relaxing holidays.
Merry Christmas - Buon Natale - Feliz Navidad
On the AIDA Christmas Cruises, guests experience a special Christmas celebration. While they discover the holiday traditions of other cultures on land, they enjoy the familiar feeling of home on board. Festively decorated ships, shining Christmas trees, and culinary delights spread seasonal cheer.
As they sing Christmas carols together and listen to the children's poems and songs, guests can get into the Christmas spirit even in the most exotic parts of the world. On Christmas Eve, Santa Claus joins guests on board the AIDA ships and hands out gifts to children. At a sleepover party at the Kids Club on one of the Christmas days, little guests are supervised with care and entertained with Christmas stories from all over the world while parents experience Christmas shows with the AIDA Stars.
Culinary highlights range from traditional roast goose and duck with red cabbage and dumplings to carp, a caviar buffet, scrumptious pâtés, and lots of other specialties. Traditional gingerbread houses, Christmas cookies and stollen sweeten up the holidays.
On Christmas Eve, all AIDA ships will be visiting fascinating destinations. On December 24, 2018, AIDAsol is docking in Civitavecchia/Rome. While strolling around a festively decked out Rome, visitors can marvel at nativity scenes in nearly every church – it is said that there are a total of 3,000 nativity scenes. Guests on AIDAdiva, AIDAluna and AIDAperla will enjoy Caribbean flair and Christmas music on drums. AIDAperla is sailing to Guadeloupe, AIDAluna is visiting Honduras, and AIDAdiva will celebrate a relaxing day at sea on its way to Costa Rica.
On board AIDAcara, AIDAnova and AIDAstella, guests will spend the Christmas holidays with summery temperatures on the Canary Islands and the "flower island" of Madeira on their voyage. AIDAnova is stopping in Funchal on Christmas Eve where thousands of colorful lights create an unforgettable atmosphere.
Celebrations will be a little more exotic on cruises with AIDAvita in Southeast Asia, AIDAblu in the Indian Ocean, and AIDAprima in the Orient.
