AIDA Cruises is reportedly cancelling all visits to the Greek island of Santorini scheduled for the AIDAblu in the 2025 summer season.

The ship is no longer set to visit the destination as part of its seven-night cruises to the Aegean, according to a report by Schiff und Kreuzfahrten.

The change is said to be related to the recently announced measures to limit cruise tourism in certain destinations in Greece.

Instead of Santorini, the AIDAblu is now scheduled to visit alternative ports of call in Greece, including Rhodes and Kos.

Sailing from Corfu, the 2,174-guest ship is set to offer week-long cruises to Greece and Turkey between May and October 2025.

While all departures feature visits to Kusadasi, Piraeus and Souda, the sailings scheduled for May 3, May 31, Sep. 20 and Oct. 18, 2025, will now feature a visit to Rhodes instead of Santorini.

The cruises set for departure on June 28, July 26 and Sep. 6, 2025, will replace the island with a visit to Kos.

In addition to its seven-night cruises to the Greek Islands, the AIDAblu also offers weeklong sailings to the Adriatic, Malta and Southern Italy.

With itineraries unchanged, the cruises depart from Corfu and feature visits to destinations in Greece, Italy, Malta, Croatia, Slovenia and Montenegro, including Katakolon, Catania, Valletta, Rijeka, Koper and Kotor.

At least three cruise lines rerouted their ships after the Greek government announced plans to introduce a tax for cruise ship visitors in Santorini and Mykonos.

The measure, which is said to be aimed at combating over-tourism, was first announced in September 2024.

One month later, in October, Costa Cruises decided to cancel all the planned visits to Santorini onboard the Costa Fascinosa in 2025.

Princess Cruises followed suit earlier this year, removing visits to the Greek island from the 2025 itineraries of the Sun Princess.
