The new AIDAprima will have an ice rink when she launches later this year.
The 200 m² ice rink will be operated seasonally. The guests of AIDAprima can experience popular winter pleasures like ice skating, ice hockey and curling. Wine and culinary delights are served around the ice rink.
The floating ice rink is part of the year-round holiday concept of AIDAprima, according to a statement.
Summer feeling prevails in the AIDA Beach Club 365 days a year. Wonderful relaxation can be found among the palm trees beneath the UV-permeable foil dome during the day, while beach parties are open for guests in the evening. Not only does the foil dome become a projection surface for the breathtaking starry heavens at night – the water world is also transformed into a medium for fascinating light shows.
In the Four Elements adventure world, which extends over decks 14 to 17 in the rear area of AIDAprima, guests will find a full program of action, sports and fun for the whole family. Based on the four elements of water, air, earth and fire, the Four Elements offers the most varied activities under the dome of a retractable glass roof: the AIDA Racer, the longest indoor water slide on any ship, which extends over three decks, invites guests to take part in races with two tubes. Strength and concentration are called for in the climbing crag. Things are a little more tranquil on the Lazy River, on which one can drift and relax. Guests can gather before the giant LED wall to watch sports events.
Sports played in the great outdoors are popular on the two outdoor activity decks 15 and 16. Here joggers do their rounds on their own track, golfers use the driving cage facility for improving their tee or meet to play mini-golf. Team spirit is called for basketball. Younger guests can play as much as they want in the kids’ pool with the slide, for example. Also new is a area for children aged six months to three years, wtih professional nannies available.
The maiden voyage of AIDAprima takes place in two stages, initially from October 1 to November 20, 2015 on a unique 50-day trip from Yokohama in Japan to Dubai. The second stage of the maiden voyage begins on March 18, 2016 over 38 days from Dubai to the future home port of Hamburg. In the winter season, AIDAprima will offer seven-day orient cruises from Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
