It's not something you see every day: on February 27, 2023, not one but three AIDA cruise ships moored in the port of St Johns on the Caribbean island of Antigua.
The voyages of the three sister ships AIDAdiva, AIDAluna and AIDAperla, which all spend the winter months in Caribbean waters, intersected with each other for once last Monday. The spectacle was not only an exciting event for the guests, the captains also enjoyed the encounter very much: Captain Panagiotis Mantzavinos of AIDAdiva, Captain Sven Gärtner of AIDAluna and Captain Pedro Ziegler of AIDAperla took the opportunity for a meeting among colleagues. The ships' crew organized a party for the guests on the pier with music, drinks and even a FitforDrums workshop.
During the 2022/2023 winter season, AIDA ships visit Antigua on a regular basis. A total of 27 calls are on the schedule for this season. The sister meeting of the three AIDA cruise ships in St. Johns, however, was undoubtedly an unforgettable experience and will long be remembered by all involved.
Beginning in March, it will be time for the three AIDA ships to say goodbye to their winter cruising grounds. For AIDAdiva it is off to Warnemünde, where she will depart for Scandinavia voyages in the summer season. AIDAluna will offer cruises to Norway and Sweden as well as to the Arctic Circle from Kiel. AIDAperla's summer home port will be Hamburg. From here, cruises to Norway's fjords are on the itinerary.
