AIDAdiva Returns to Germany Following World Cruise
The AIDAdiva has recently returned to the port of Hamburg in Germany following AIDA’s 2025-26 world cruise.
After undergoing a major refurbishment as part of AIDA’s Evolution refit program, the vessel embarked on the voyage in early November 2025.
The AIDAdiva then visited 53 destinations in 27 countries before arriving back at its homeport on March 23, 2026.
Covering 35,000 nautical miles, the itinerary was highlighted by milestones for AIDA Cruises, including the company’s return to New York City following a six-year hiatus.
The cruise also marked the brand’s first visits to ports on the West Coast of North America, as well as in Japan and Hawaii.
The 2,030-passenger ship also spent New Year’s Eve docked in Honolulu during its first visit to the Aloha State.
Other highlights of the itinerary included AIDA’s first-ever transit of the Panama Canal, which took place on December 6, 2025.
Following the completion of its world cruise, the AIDAdiva is now set to offer summer cruises out of ports in Germany.
The ship’s schedule includes a series of four- to 14-night cruises to destinations in Scandinavia and the Baltic Sea.
Ports of call set to be visited include Vik in Norway, Visby in Sweden, Gdynia in Poland and Aarhus in Denmark.
In late August, the 2007-built ship is scheduled to reposition to North America for fall cruises departing from New York City.
The 12-night itineraries are highlighted by visits to destinations in Canada and New England, as well as Florida and the Bahamas, including Portland, Boston, Miami and Nassau.
In late October, the AIDAdiva sets sail to La Romana in the Dominican Republic ahead of a winter season offering cruises to the Southern and Eastern Caribbean.
AIDA’s next world voyage is scheduled to depart from Hamburg in mid-October 2026 onboard the AIDAsol.
The 126-night cruise will follow a different itinerary that will include stops in South America, the South Pacific, Australia, Africa and the Indian Ocean.
