AIDA celebrates Oktoberfest on board with well-known party bands

Culinary delicacies for the Wiesn at sea from gourmet godfather Stefan Marquard

During the Oktoberfest this year, the well-known party acts Die HÖHNER, Gletscherfezzer and Tim Toupet will ensure great fun on board AIDA.

From September 24, 2022, the motto will be "O'zapft is" on AIDAprima's seven-day cruise to the most beautiful cities in Western Europe. The highlight of the atmospheric festive program is the appearance of the Cologne cult band Die HÖHNER. With their legendary classics like "Viva Colonia", "Schenk mir dein Herz" or "Wenn nicht jetzt, wann dann?" they will take the hearts on board by storm. It goes without saying that you are also allowed to sway and sing along to the mix of Bavarian beats, folk music and contemporary hits by the party singer Tim Toupet and the Gletscherfezzer.

The culinary scene is also Bavarian. Beer lovers enjoy - in contrast to the Munich Wiesn magic - the Maß for only 9.90 euros. The freshly tapped Zwickel beer and a special offer beer come from the onboard brewery and were brewed with sea water and according to the German purity law. In addition to classic hearty dishes such as pork knuckle and potato dumplings, sausage salad and the typical Brauhaus bread, AIDA gourmet godfather Stefan Marquard prepares other specialties on board. The guests may look forward among other things to a sausage workshop, a tasting with common butcher breakfast and an evening in the brewhouse with traditional bread time and homemade Bratwurst. The TV star and celebrity chef will also appear on the prime time show.

As part of the AIDA Wiesn special, Oktoberfest fans on board all AIDA ships enjoy a select program of Bavarian-style treats. Whether arm wrestling, white sausage wrestling or yodeling - there is something for every taste. All guests who like to celebrate in convivial company can also look forward to hearty brewery or alpine hut events such as "Wiesn-Gaudi," "Alpenglühn," "Frühschoppen," or even family days with a proper marquee atmosphere. The "Sirtaki" of the Alps, the so-called Schuhplattler, can be learned from the AIDA hosts. In addition, there are various quiz activities on board.
