AIDA Cruises to be main sponsor of the HAMBURG PORT ANNIVERSARY until 2017
The cruise line AIDA
Cruises has reaffirmed its dedication to Hamburg and will be the main sponsor
of the HAMBURG PORT ANNIVERSARY up to and including 2017.
Michael Ungerer, President
of AIDA Cruises, says, “As one of the most important tourism partners of the
Hanseatic City of Hamburg, we want to significantly contribute to the event’s
continued success through our long-term commitment. Every year anew, maritime festivals
like the HAMBURG PORT ANNIVERSARY show visitors how exciting cruising, the best
way to vacation, can be.”
The 826th HAMBURG
PORT ANNIVERSARY will be taking place this year from May 8th to 10th,
2015. Once again, over a million visitors are anticipated at this superlative
event in Hamburg. With AIDAbella and AIDAsol, the main sponsor will be contributing
two ships to the festival.
Saturday evening will
mark the event’s illustrious highlight when the AIDA fireworks display in the
vicinity of Harbor Piers turn the night sky over the Elbe into a glittering sea
of color. AIDAbella will open this spectacular production against the
impressive backdrop of Hamburg and be part of the show. Around 11.00 p.m., AIDAbella
will then depart for the most beautiful cities in Western Europe. After
AIDAbella, AIDAsol will drop anchor at the Cruise Center HafenCity Altona from
8 a.m. to 6 p.m. before setting off for a short 4-day cruise to Amsterdam and
London.
During this maritime
festival, the beach club HAMBURG del mar at Harbor Piers will be transformed
into a world of AIDA. From here, guests have a perfect view of the fireworks
and festivities on the water. From Friday to Sunday, guests can learn more
about AIDA’s diverse variety of cruises at the AIDA promotional booth right in
the vicinity of the Cruise Center HafenCity West.
With 55 stops of a
total of five AIDA ships, AIDA Cruises will once again be an important economic
factor for the Hanseatic City and a magnet for many natives of Hamburg and
guests this year.
