On November 11, 2023, the time has come: the LNG cruise ship AIDAnova will start her first winter season from Hamburg and has a true winter wonderland in store. Alternating weekly, AIDAnova will set course for Western Europe's metropolises as well as Norway, Denmark offering guests a wide selection of special event cruises until February 24, 2024. As part of the AIDA special "Sea of Lights," everything on board AIDAnova will revolve around dazzling light shows, atmospheric productions and wintry attractions for four months in the 2023/2024 winter season.
To kick off the "sea of lights" event voyages, public favorite Wincent Weiss will provide goosebump moments. "Irgendwo ankommen" - that's the name of the charming singer's current album. He has long been in the German pop Olympus. On November 11, 2023, the North German singer-songwriter ignites a musical firework with many news songs live onstage onboard AIDAnova. Guests can be there live and look forward to a pre-Christmas atmosphere on board during the subsequent voyage. Breathtaking light decorations and laser shows will transform the ship into a sparkling light spectacle. For example, the Beach Club will be bathed in a sea of lights and floating luminous objects will set the scene for the outdoor pools. Cable car gondolas, cozily decorated cabanas, winter huts with mulled wine, punch and small delicacies round off the pre-Christmas program. Family time is emphasized at curling, at the light parades with the AIDA Clubbies, and at lantern making followed by a parade. The 3,545-square-meter spa area on board AIDAnova will ensure physical well-being in cold outdoor temperatures, while the 17 restaurants will prepare festive culinary delights.
