AIDA’s summer season 2025 offers a choice of around 500 departures, stretching from North Europe into the Mediterranean and Asia.

AIDAstella will visit Japan during cherry blossom season in spring 2025, including a 15-day round Japan sailing and cruises that combine destinations in China, Japan and South Korea or Japan, Taiwan, Vietnam and Hong Kong.

These can also be combined with the matching trans Asia and trans Suez voyages to create a longer sailing up to 52 days.

During the Asia program, AIDA will be calling for the first time in Seoul/Incheon, Jeju, Busan, Hiroshima, Aburatsu, Kagoshima, Kyōto/Kobe, Mount Fuji/Shimizu, Tokyo/Yokohama, Kanazawa, Niigata, Akita, Hakodate, Miyako-Iwate and Amami Oshima.

German homeporting

In total, eight AIDA ships will set sail from German ports on voyages to Northern Europe offering 290 cruises from Hamburg, Kiel and Warnemünde, between April and October 2025.

These range from Norway and Baltic sailings, to round Britain.

Sky and star gazing

AIDAbella visits Norwegian port of Brønnøysund for the first time on Northern Lights sailings in the fall of 2025 from Kiel. The 14-day voyages will take passengers to destinations including Leknes and Bodø, Trondheim or Stavanger, and Tromsø.

In summer 2025, the Perseids shooting stars will appear between July 17 and August 24 in the western Mediterranean skies, where AIDAcosma and AIDAstella will cruise from Mallorca or Barcelona.

Further east, AIDAblu will operate from Corfu to the Adriatic Sea and Greece - including Koper in Slovenia. A debut AIDA port on this itinerary is Korčula, Croatia.

Shorter cruises

A range of short trips of 3, 4-, 5- or 6-day duration sees AIDAmar sailing from Warnemünde, visiting Gotland or Bornholm, as well as capitals such as Oslo, Stockholm and Copenhagen. AIDAperla will cruise from Hamburg to Stavanger and Eidfjord and AIDAluna, for example, to Gothenburg, Kristiansand, Aarhus, Oslo and Copenhagen.

World cruise

Before summer 2025, AIDAsol will undertake a world cruise starting in Hamburg on October 23, 2024, visiting 41 ports and 17 countries in 117 days and returning to Hamburg on February 17, 2025.
