AIDA also plans to launch service in the Western Mediterranean with the AIDAstella on Dec. 12, 2020, sailing seven day cruises from Palma, Mallorca.

The AIDAprima will start sailing from Dubai Dec. 11 and from Abuh Dhabi Dec. 15, 2020.

AIDA underlined that its cruises are sailing in full compliance with the requirements of international and national health and hygiene authorities as well as its own extended health and hygiene standards, which have been verified by third parties, including the German auditing company SGS Institut Fresenius and the class society DNV-GL.
