AIDAdiva: New features following stay at Blohm & Voss shipyard
Lounge-style beach bar, new stores and much more
After its scheduled visit to the
shipyard from April 21 to May 4, 2015 at the Blohm & Voss shipyard in
Hamburg, AIDAdiva now offers even more attractive amenities on board.
Alongside routine classification
and maintenance work, the AIDAdiva is now already the fourth ship in the AIDA
fleet to be fitted with the first phase of a multi-phase filter system for the
treatment of emissions. The so-called scrubber reduces sulfur dioxide emissions
by around 90 percent.
More than 30 different projects
involving cosmetic repairs and upgrades were also carried out on board. Among
those was also the exchange of 12.000 square meters of carpeting onboard which
equals the size of two soccer fields.
One of the new highlights on
board AIDAdiva is the beach bar which has been given a makeover. Designed in
lounge style, it has a fabulous beach feel and is the perfect place to relax
with a cocktail and wind down a vacation day.
Jewelry and watch lovers are now
being offered an even bigger range of exclusive brands on board AIDAdiva. A new
jewelry store has been installed on the new promenade on Deck 10, and it
carries a large selection of best-selling brands such as Fossil, Skagen and
Michael Kors. The AIDA Store on Deck 9 presents itself with a modern, maritime
look. One particularly eye-catching feature is a sailboat on which AIDA
merchandising is presented. Using an iPad station on board, guests can also
make purchases at the AIDA Online Store outside the Shop’s opening hours. Items
will be delivered directly to the guest’s home address.
The golf and fun area on Deck 11
has been redesigned, and invites guests to indulge in sporting activities.
Meanwhile at the Body & Soul sports area, AIDA guests can work out on the
completely new cardio training equipment.
11 digital photo stations have
been installed at the Photo Store, where guests can look at their personal
vacation souvenirs, make individual selections and order them as required.
Thanks to digitization AIDA has reduced the photo paper and chemicals used for
development by around 50 percent – another contribution to protecting the
environment. The height of one of the digital photo stations can be individually
adjusted, making it easy for children and wheelchair-users to operate.
AIDAdiva will set sail from
Hamburg at 8:00 p.m. on May 4, 2015. After a short trip with stops in Gothenburg
and Copenhagen, from May 12, 2015, AIDAdiva will begin regular 10-day cruises
from Warnemünde to the most beautiful destinations on the Baltic. More
