The crew will see to everything from the Christmas ambience to the table decorations.

Santa Claus on the High Seas

The company said that Christmas Eve is one of the special experiences for children, and they will receive a visit from Santa Claus, who will distribute the gifts they have brought with them.

The Kids Club will also unveil several surprises.

Onboard Entertainment

The onboard program ranges from Christmas singing to the big Christmas gala and a New Year’s Eve celebration.

There will also be changing evening shows and creative workshops, such as making Froebelstern.

Shared Experiences for Young and Old

According to the company, a special highlight is the 200-square-meter Christmas-lit ice-skating rink on AIDAprima.

Time for Oneself

AIDA said that its cinnamon infusion in the sauna with a view of the sea, or a treatment in the Body & Soul Spa, are a few examples of highlights that one can experience on their own.

“While the children get together at the Kids Club for the sleep story, adults can enjoy a walk on deck or a romantic dinner in the restaurant,” AIDA said.

New Year’s Eve at Sea

The fleet will provide guests with live entertainment, atmospheric shows and an extensive range of activities for children and teens on New Year’s Eve.

Guests can expect a mix of a caviar buffet, midnight snacks and an extensive New Year’s breakfast.

The AIDAbella offers a unique experience with the New Year’s Eve fireworks display off the coast of Funchal, Madeira.

The classic “Dinner for One “is also part of the program.
