AIDA celebrates 29 years of summer cruises: A look at unforgettable travel experiences!

On June 7, 2025, AIDA will celebrate its 29th anniversary and look back on almost three decades full of unforgettable cruise moments. The AIDA ships are known for their special mix of relaxation, experience and community on the high seas, which has made them an integral part of holiday culture. Many passengers have remained loyal to the ships since their first voyage.

On the occasion of this special birthday, AIDA published a post on the official Facebook page with the motto: “Today we celebrate 29 years full of unforgettable #aidamoments with you.” User comments underline the importance of AIDA for many vacationers who share personal travel stories and positive experiences. Many people talk about the “Aida virus,” a term that describes the ongoing enthusiasm for cruises.

A look into the future

Looking ahead to the coming year, AIDA has already announced exclusive anniversary trips that will celebrate its 30th anniversary in 2026. The “Best of AIDA” event trip is planned, which will take place on board the AIDAdiva from April 18 to 25, 2026. The travel route leads from Warnemünde via Stockholm, Gotland, Danzig/Gdynia and Copenhagen back to Warnemünde.

Particularly noteworthy are the guest stars who will appear on board. These include Otto Waalkes, Beatrice Egli, Stefanie Heinzmann and many other artists who provide entertainment and an unforgettable experience.

Festivities and sister meetings

Another highlight will be the sister meeting in Hamburg, which is scheduled to take place on June 7, 2026. The AIDAperla will dock in Hamburg on June 6th and stay overnight, while the other ships, AIDAsol and AIDAprima, will meet in the port on June 7th.

The anniversary celebrations will be followed by the FESTIVAL Cruise on the AIDAprima, which is scheduled for June 8th to 12th, 2026. This trip promises four days full of festival atmosphere with music genres such as hip hop, EDM, pop and hits.

The developments surrounding AIDA show that the shipping company has established itself not only as a pioneer, but also as a market leader in the German cruise industry. Further information about the anniversary campaigns can be found on the official website aida.de/30years to find.
