Boat features
A prototype of the Hyperion class, the AIDAPrima was built at the Mitsubishi Heavy Industries shipyard in Nagasaki, which delivered the ship at the end of April 2016, one year late. It is the first cruise ship with a hybrid NG/diesel propulsion, but this is not the only technological and ecological innovation it is equipped with. It also has the MALS (Mitsubishi Air Lubrication System) which propels air over a large surface area under the hull, allowing fuel savings of around 7%. © Association Paquebots & Marine Marchande
