AIDA Launches Countdown to 30th Anniversary

AIDA has celebrated its 29th birthday and announced the start of the countdown to further celebrations for its 30th anniversary in 2026.

To celebrate the next anniversary on June 7, 2026, the company has planned several surprises, including a special event cruise called the “Best of AIDA” and a sister ship meeting in the Port of Hamburg.

From April 18 to 25, 2026, the modernized AIDAdiva will host the “Best of AIDA” event. The cruise will set sail from Warnemünde, traveling to Stockholm, Gotland, Gdansk/Gdynia and Copenhagen before returning to Warnemünde.

The sailing will also feature guest stars who have worked with the company on numerous occasions.

According to AIDA, itinerary highlights include music, comedy, drag shows, a celebratory atmosphere and familiar AIDA faces.

Also on offer will be performances by:

Otto Waalkes and his band, ‘Die Friesenjungs’
Beatrice Egli
Stefanie Heinzmann

Wayne Morris
Benni Stark
Wolfgang Trepper
Sarah Barelly
Ingo Oschmann, and

The company said in a press release that three ships from the AIDA fleet will meet in Hamburg to celebrate the 30th anniversary. The AIDAperla is scheduled to arrive on June 6, 2026. The ship will stay overnight to participate in the ship parade the next day.

On June 7, the AIDAsol will dock at the Altona cruise terminal first, followed by the AIDAprima in the evening. They will meet on the Elbe River.

Following the birthday party, the Festival Cruise will start on the AIDAprima. Sailing from June 8 to 12, 2026, the voyage will feature hip-hop, EDM, pop and schlager music, offering four days of a festival atmosphere en route to the Belgian North Sea coast.
