Christmas and New Year's Eve on board the AIDA fleet

October 19, 2023 – Christmas wishes come true with AIDA. The holidays on board the AIDA fleet provide unforgettable moments for young and old

Christmas on AIDA

Whether wonderful winter weather with snow or a Christmas party under palm trees, whether lavish parties or a relaxed feel-good atmosphere and exquisite food without having to be in the kitchen - with AIDA many Christmas wishes come true.

I wish for a Christmas under palm trees...

From dream Caribbean islands to the magical Orient to white beaches and turquoise water in the South Seas. Guests can experience Christmas Eve under the palm trees on AIDAdiva, AIDAluna, AIDAmar and AIDAperla in the Caribbean. For example, AIDAperla is heading to Curacao, AIDAluna is a guest in Jamaica, AIDAmar is celebrating Christmas Eve in Aruba and the guests on AIDAdiva are having a contemplative day at sea in the Caribbean. The Christmas season will be exotic on board AIDAbella in Southeast Asia, AIDAblu is in the Indian Ocean and AIDAsol offers guests a Christmas Eve in Fiji. AIDAprima is also drawn to warm waters and is heading to the Orient over the festive season.

I wish for a true winter wonderland for the festival...

But AIDA also has many surprises to offer for winter lovers. Travelers on AIDAnova spend the Christmas holidays in the far north. On December 24th we will stop in Kristiansand, Norway. Another highlight is the Christmas sea of ​​lights on AIDAnova: guests experience wintry light decorations and installations. Winter huts, cable car gondolas and curling exude a winter wonderland flair on the high seas, while on land a large selection of inviting Advent markets awaits guests. Marvel at the Northern Lights or unwind with a SPA day - with AIDA, no winter wish remains unfulfilled.

I would like a holiday menu with culinary delights...

From gingerbread, mulled wine, punch and roasted almonds to stollen and cookies, every sweet tooth will find something here. This year, the traditional Christmas buffet will be joined by a special culinary special in all buffet restaurants: entertaining live cooking. Every gourmet will be spoiled for this year's holiday menu. Guests who follow a vegetarian diet can enjoy a specially designed vegetarian 3-course menu.

I wish for fun, sociability and good entertainment under the Christmas tree...

On board AIDA, guests experience special holiday entertainment with, among others, the AIDA Stars, while Christmas decorations and decorated Christmas trees provide the right Christmas feeling. Travelers experience magical moments at the glamorous AIDA Christmas Gala. Singing Christmas carols together and the traditional video devotion create a contemplative Christmas atmosphere. For everyone in the mood to celebrate, the glamorous Christmas party offers a festive end.

I wish children's eyes would shine...

The little guests are also thought of. The Kids Club is transformed into a Christmas-smelling bakery where children bake cookies. They can also let their creativity run wild with Advent crafts, which mom or dad can be happy about as a gift. Further highlights for the little ones include the traditional Advent singing and the AIDA Christmas cinema, where you can enjoy classic Christmas films and cinnamon popcorn. The presents from Santa Claus on board and the opportunity to stand on the big AIDA show stage will also make many children's eyes shine.

I wish you a crowning end to the year...

The most spectacular fireworks or impressive light shows ensure an unforgettable experience on New Year's Eve on board AIDA. The fireworks on Madeira are world famous. Travelers with AIDAcosma can experience up close how fireworks light up the sky at the same time from around 25 different stations around Funchal. With AIDAprima you can experience the special light spectacle in Abu Dhabi and with AIDAbella against the breathtaking backdrop of Hong Kong. But the guests on AIDAluna, AIDAdiva, AIDAmar and AIDAblu also ring in the new year with a breathtaking laser and light show. Travelers can also expect a rousing entertainment program and exuberant parties at the turn of the year.
