AIDA Cruises is
preparing for the resumption of its cruise operation starting from
September 6, 2020
ROSTOCK, Germany, Aug. 10, 2020 -- AIDA Cruises is planning
to resume its cruise operations with the first ships from German
ports at the beginning of September
2020. The prerequisite for this was the approval of the flag
state Italy for the restart
concepts.
The first trips from Kiel will start on September 6, 2020. The first cruises with
AIDAperla to the Norwegian fjords start from Hamburg on September
12, 19 and 26, 2020.
In the coming days, AIDA Cruises will review the specific
details of this decision and will work closely with all responsible
authorities of the flag state Italy and the classification society in order
to carefully implement the new protocols and regulations in the
sense of a responsible restart on board the AIDA ships.
As the current development shows, unfortunately not in all
European travel destinations the prerequisites for safe travel are
given yet.
Due to the current situation, the company must extend the pause
of its cruise season until September 30,
2020, except for the above-mentioned departures from Kiel
(starting from September 6, 2020) and
Hamburg (starting from
September 12, 2020).
To AIDA Cruises it is important to provide all guests with this
important information regarding their vacation. The company very
much regrets that the other voyages cannot take place as planned.
All guests whose cruise cannot be carried out will be informed
immediately.
The company publishes detailed information on the current pause
of the cruise season at www.aida.de/reisehinweis.
According to the motto "With certainty the most beautiful
vacation", AIDA Cruises provides transparent and comprehensive
information regarding the expanded measures to protect against
COVID-19 at www.aida.de/sichererurlaub.
