AIDAprima is the new AIDA flagship
Upon its delivery in spring 2015, the 300m-long and 37.6m-wide 124,500gt vessel will be offering seven-day round-trip voyages starting in Hamburg.
According to AIDA Cruises, highlights of the AIDAprima include the AIDA Beach Club housed beneath a weather-independent transparent dome, the "4 Elements" with water slide, climbing walls, and the AIDA Mini Club providing childcare for small children six months and older.
AIDAprima will be equipped with a comprehensive emissions filter system and dual-fuel engines. Courtesy of modern MALS technology, the ship will glide on a carpet of air, thus benefiting from reduced fuel usage, the Rostock-based cruise operator said.
AIDAprima's maiden voyage will be an 86-day journey, setting off for Hamburg from the Japanese city of Yokohama on March 22nd.
