December 14, 2022 – AIDAmar circumnavigates the world this winter season. The ship was in Papeete on Tahiti for the last two days. It is expected in Moorea today at 8:00am – an eleven-hour time difference must be taken into account. Tomorrow Bora Bora is on the route list.
Moorea is part of French Polynesia; Geographically, the 133 square kilometer island is one of the "Leeward Islands". For the past two days, the AIDAmar has been in the port of Papeete on Tahiti. In terms of weather, the ship's guests are not spoiled: it has been the rainy season there since November. The first day it rained heavily. The second day started better.

Apparently, there are slight problems with the supply of provisions. Containers with groceries and consumer goods were sent to San Antonio/Chile by cargo ship. The containers were not unloaded as a result of a dockers' strike. In the meantime they have been forwarded to Lima/Peru. However, due to certain discrepancies, the goods did not reach the ship. AIDA Cruises countered the problem by taking in as many provisions as procurable in the ports called. None of the guests suffer from malnutrition, except for those who complain about the temporary lack of liver sausage and honey. They too are helped: the shipping company has chartered an airplane that transports the required goods from Germany to Papeete. The plane is expected in Papeete on December 16th.
The result is: AIDAmar is forced to return to Papeete. As a result, two planned island destinations are cancelled, but passengers can look forward to Tahiti again and the island of Lifou, which belongs to New Caledonia, which has been included in the travel program as an alternative. According to our friend on board, the atmosphere is “super good”. Especially since AIDA Cruises is not responsible for the extraordinary circumstances. Conclusion: It is a trip around the world with all eventualities and not a 7-day cruise on the doorstep in the Baltic Sea.
