    AIDA Cruises resumes holiday voyages from July 29, 2021

    AIDA Cruises starts holiday sailings with AIDAstella from July in West Med with calls in Spain, Italy, Portugal and Malta; German cruise line also extends Baltic voyages from July to September on AIDAsol

    AIDA Cruises on June 10 announced it continues its gradual restart with another cruise ship, AIDAstella, resuming holiday voyages from July 29, 2021. The ship will operate as originally planned with 10- and 11-day cruises from Palma de Mallorca with calls in Spain, Italy, Portugal and Malta. There is a wide choice of travel dates until the end of October.

    In addition, AIDA Cruises will extend its Baltic Sea voyages with AIDAsol from the German port Warnemünde into September. Dates between July 18 and September 18, 2021, are now open for booking. AIDAsol will sail to several Swedish ports during the popular Scandinavian midsummer, with visits to Stockholm, Gothenburg and Visby.

    From July 18 to 24, a 6-day voyage is planned. Afterwards, AIDAsol will start every Saturday from Warnemünde for 7-day Baltic Sea round trips.

    The voyages originally planned with AIDAsol with departure dates from July 26 to October 15, 2021, will not take place. Guests who were already booked on one of these original cruises will be notified.

    AIDA Cruises has been successfully operating cruises since March. A variety of attractive vacation options are now available for the 2021 summer season:

    Canary Islands voyage with AIDAperla, 7 or 14 days, from/to Gran Canaria, until July.
    Greek cruises with AIDAblu, 7 or 14 days, from/to Corfu, May to October

    All cruises are carried out in compliance with AIDA’s enhanced health and safety protocols, as well as applicable laws and regulations. More information is available at www.aida.de/sichererurlaub.

    Unfortunately, cruises in other destinations are not possible at the moment. As a result, all other cruises with a departure date between July 8 and August 8, 2021, have to be cancelled. Guests who were booked on impacted cruises and their travel advisors are being notified.
