AIDA's New Destinations for 2027
AIDA Cruises has officially launched its new cruise routes for 2027, which include a variety of ports that the cruise line has rarely visited or has not featured in its schedule for a long time. The expansion of AIDA's offerings includes additional European destinations, such as another Greenland voyage, providing a fresh array of travel options for both new and seasoned guests of the Kussmund fleet. This year marks an exciting evolution in AIDA's itinerary, promising unique experiences and newfound adventures for cruise enthusiasts.
Among the newly introduced routes is a significant "Big Winter Break" that will, for the first time, take travelers to the Azores and Morocco. This format was initially introduced during the COVID-19 pandemic to enable cruises to distant locations without the need for air travel. These multi-week cruises will commence from Germany, leading to tropical destinations such as the Caribbean and the Canary Islands. The “Big Winter Break Azores & Morocco” aboard the “AIDAluna” is set to launch from Hamburg on February 22, 2027, and has already reached full capacity. The “AIDAmar” will also navigate this route starting January 9, 2028, once again from Hamburg. Passengers can expect a scenic journey that includes a stop at the Isle of Portland (England) before reaching the Azores, where two port days are planned on Terceira and São Miguel. Following that, the journey continues to Madeira and Casablanca, returning to Hamburg along the western Atlantic coast with stops in cities like Lisbon and Porto.
The pricing for this 21-day cruise starts at €2,320 per person for double occupancy in an interior cabin, making it an attractive option for travelers looking to explore far-off destinations without the hassle of long-haul flights. It's important to note that these prices reflect double occupancy in an interior cabin, and the costs may vary for different cabin types or solo travelers. As availability in single cabins is limited, those planning to travel alone should book early to secure their desired accommodations.
Unique Itineraries and Experiences
Another new “Big Winter Break” route will venture into the Amazon in 2027, a destination previously only accessible during the 2026 world cruise. This journey will include a stop in Santarém, a Brazilian city located approximately 550 kilometers from the sea, nestled deep in the rainforest. Here, passengers will have the unique opportunity to experience the Amazon River, the world's largest river, with the “AIDAmar” staying overnight in port. Those who wish to enjoy the stunning views during embarkation and disembarkation are encouraged to book a balcony cabin for a more relaxing experience. Pricing for the “Big Winter Break Caribbean with Amazon” starts at €5,245 per person in the Pro rate, with early booking discounts of €1,200 for ocean view cabins still available. This 44-day cruise will run from November 5 to December 19, 2027, starting and ending in Hamburg, and will feature stops at island nations such as St. Lucia, Dominica, and Barbados, along with São Vicente in Cape Verde.
AIDA is also expanding its European offerings, with new ports of call in Sweden, including Ystad in the south and Lysekil on the west coast. Both cities offer a charming historical ambiance and are surrounded by stunning natural landscapes. The “Short Trip to Scandinavia from Warnemünde” aboard the “AIDAmar” will visit Oslo, Århus, and Lysekil, allowing guests the chance to explore three countries in one mini-cruise. This five-day journey is currently available from €775 per person, with travel dates from June 1 to June 6, 2027.
The Swedish city of Ystad will also be part of the “Sweden & Denmark with Stockholm from Warnemünde” route aboard the “AIDAmar.” This eight-day itinerary starts on May 10, 2027, and includes stops in Copenhagen and the small Swedish island of Gotland, with prices beginning at €1,390 per person for double occupancy in an interior cabin, alongside an early booking discount of €300.
For those eager to explore Iceland and Greenland, the newly revamped “Iceland & Greenland from Hamburg” route aboard the “AIDAsol” will cover multiple destinations in both regions. Highlights include a passage through the Prins Christian Sund in southern Greenland, renowned for its steep cliffs, glaciers, and floating icebergs. This cruise will take place from June 27 to July 18, 2027, with prices starting at €4,045 per person, benefiting from an early booking discount of €400 per cabin.
The introduction of these new itineraries not only enhances AIDA's existing offerings but also provides unforgettable experiences for travelers eager to explore stunning locations around the world. As the cruise industry continues to rebound and evolve, AIDA remains committed to delivering exceptional travel experiences that resonate with both new and loyal guests.
