Citing strong demand for voyages from northern German ports, AIDA Cruises will deploy another Sphinx-class ship from Kiel, according to a press release. 

On August 15, 2021, the first four-day short cruise to Gdynia will start followed by a three-day cruise to Gothenburg.

Both voyages will be offered alternately through Oct. 14.

The name of the ship will be announced shortly, the company said, and all cruises are already open for bookings.

On the four-day voyage, the ship calls at the Polish port of Gdynia after a relaxing sea day passing the island of Gotland, among others.

AIDA started operating from Kiel in May with the AIDAprima sailing every Saturday on week-long cruises in the Baltic, calling in Gothenburg, Visby on the island of Gotland, and Stockholm.

Lindblad’s new expedition vessel due in 2021 will be named the National Geographic Resolution.

The name reflects the favourite ship of Capt. James Cook, the British explorer and sea captain who made his second and third voyages of exploration aboard the HMS Resolution.

Lindblad Expeditions announced the name at the keel laying of the ship at the Crist shipyard in Gdynia, Poland.

Norway’s Ulstein Group is overseeing the design and construction of the 126-guest ship, which will have the ability to sail in polar waters. The Resolution will have a Polar Class 5 designation, meaning the ship will be able to navigate medium first-year ice year-round.

The Resolution is a sister ship to the National Geographic Endurance, due in April 2020.
