2026 sailings on board AIDAbella and AIDAluna can be booked from July 31, 2024.
Easter and Pentecost
AIDAcosma, AIDAstella and AIDAblu will sail the Mediterranean in summer 2026.
For the Easter holidays, AIDAprima will embark on an ‘Easter Voyage through the Mediterranean.’
For Pentecost, AIDAblu will offer sailings to Greece: Zakynthos in Greece and Bodrum in Turkey will be added to the itinerary for the first time.
Summer solstice
Sailings will celebrate Midsummer's Day, as well as the summer solstice on June 21. Eight AIDA ships will set sail from Hamburg, Kiel and Warnemünde on various northern routes - to the Baltic Sea, the fjords of Norway, Scotland and Iceland. AIDAprima’s voyages to the Norwegian fjords – including the UNESCO World Heritage Sites of Geirangerfjord and the Nærøyfjord – are a highlight.
FIFA World Cup
AIDAmar will be in Stockholm during the FIFA World Cup finals on July 19, 2026 as part of the ‘Cities of the Baltic Sea from Warnemünde 1’ programme, while AIDAsol will be in Portsmouth, operating the ‘Great Britain & Ireland from Hamburg’ itinerary.
On the same day, AIDAstella will commence a 10-day ‘Spain, Portugal & Balearic Islands from Mallorca’ cruise from Palma de Mallorca, Spain.
Solar eclipse and Perseids
A further highlight is a chance to see a total solar eclipse on August 12, 2026 as it darkens the skies over Greenland, Iceland and Spain.
Five AIDA ships will offer the experience: Starting on August 7, 2026 AIDAsol will sail from Hamburg through the English Channel and the Bay of Biscay in the direction of the eclipse. In the western Mediterranean, AIDAcosma and AIDAstella will be sailing out of Mallorca on August 7, 8 and 9, at the time of the solar eclipse. AIDAbella and AIDAluna will also offer eclipse cruises.
Pus, the Perseids meteor shower will appear between July 17 and August 24 - for example in the Baltic Sea region, where AIDAdiva will bring passengers from Rostock/Warnemünde to the highlights of the Baltic coast.
A brand-new addition to the Baltic program is Hamina on the Gulf of Finland.
Northern Lights
A chance to see the Aurora Borealis is offered on the ‘Autumnal Northern Lights’ cruises of AIDAsol departing from Hamburg. The 14-day voyages include stops in Leknes, Bodø, the Lofoten Islands and Tromsø, Norway.
Discounts
The early booking discount is limited and applies to the first and second person in the cabin.
