Boat features

THEAIDANova is one of the two largest liners operated by Aida with theAIDACosma, the latter due to be put into service during the 2022 season. This behemoth is the first ship in a class called Helios (or excellence according to the shipowners) and whose units have been distributed across different branches of the Carnival group, namely Aida, P&O Cruises, Costa and Carnival Cruise Lines. These very ecological ships are powered entirely by LNG. They are built in two shipyards belonging to the German Mayer group, the Papenburg (Germany) and Turku (Finland) shipyards. © Liners & Merchant Marine Association
