Itineraries
AIDAnova itinerary program is based on 7-night roundtrip Canary Islands cruises with Madeira island (Portugal). The "Inaugural Cruise" from Tenerife was scheduled for December 12, The roundtrip Canaries itinerary visits the ports Puerto del Rosario (Fuerteventura), Arrecife (Lanzarote), Las Palmas (Gran Canaria), and Funchal (Madeira Island).
For winter , the boat was originally scheduled for homeporting in Kiel Germany, to operate two alternating 7-day roundtrip Norwegian Fjord itineraries. However, in May AIDA canceled the deployment and substituted this program with AIDAcosma's Red Sea program based on homeporting in the UAE (Dubai and Abu Dhabi) and 7-day roundtrips to Doha Qatar and Mina Salman-Manama Bahrain.
Serving mainly the German-speaking market, AIDA operates the Nova ship with fly-cruise deals from Germany and also from the UK.

AIDAnova Wiki
In July , Carnival Corporation signed a shipbuilding agreement with Meyer Werft for the construction of all 4 new-class (Excellence, aka Helios) vessels. Of these, 2 liners were for Costa Cruises (Smeralda / and Toscana /) and the other 2 for AIDA (AIDAnova / and AIDAcosma /). On February 27, , Carnival Corporation signed a shipbuilding contract for a 3rd AIDA ship (delivery in ) but in June decided the vessel (Carnival Jubilee) to be assigned to CCL-Carnival. This was the 98th ship order for the cruise industry's global fleet (vessels in the order book ).
On February 21, , was vessel's steel-cutting ceremony held at Meyer Werft shipyard (Papenburg Germany). With this special event officially started the vessel's construction works. On September 6 () was the keel-laying ceremony for the first hull block, held at the Papenburg shipyard's building dock. The first steel block (of all 90 blocks) has a weight of tons, width 5 m (16 ft), height 8 m (26 ft) and length 21 m (69 ft). A traditional lucky coin was placed under the first block. The ship's powerplant was constructed at NEPTUN WERFT (Warnemunde Germany). It consists of all 4x low-emission LNG engines that supply all the power needed for the vessel's shipping and hotel operations.
Like most large-sized newbuilds, the AIDA ship Nova is LNG-powered, with 4x Caterpillar Marine LNG engines (model MaK 16MDF) generating combined output 57,2 MW. The propulsion system is based on two Azimuting thrusters (combined power output 37 MW). The ship has 3x LNG tanks (cryogenic steel) with total capacity ~ m3. Two of the tanks are larger (length 35 m, diameter 8 m, LNG capacity m3), while the 3rd tank has length 28 m, diameter 5 m and capacity m3.
On September 21, , Neptun shipyard (Rostock) completed vessel's 3-decks high first (out of 2) engine room block (length m / ft, width 42 m / ft). The block was next shipped on a cargo barge via Kiel Canal from Rostock to Papenburg. The complex carries the 4 dual-fuel engines by Caterpillar and hence AIDAnova's heart. The 2nd block (length m / ft, width 42 m / ft) was completed on December 1. Both blocks were shipped (barged) to Papenburg shipyard on December 2. With AIDAnova engine room construction at Neptun shipyard, were engaged over shipyard workers plus external employees (service providers) and Caterpillar (diesel engine manufacturer) employees.
On December 11, , the vessel's stern (aft) section was delivered to the Papenburg yard. The section (1st of 2 equally sized, prefabricated modules) has length m ( ft), width 42 m ( ft) and height 19 decks.
The ship's launch (float-out ceremony) was at 7 pm on August 21, The vessel was floated out from MEYER WERFT's covered building (drydock 2) and was berthed at yard’s pier for outfitting. Sea trials included passage along Ems River to the North Sea. Sea trials started on November 16, Due to construction issues, vessel's delivery was delayed and the inaugural cruise rescheduled for December 19 (originally planned for December 2).
The ship's delivery was initially scheduled for November 15, , but the liner was actually delivered on December 12, in Bremerhaven. Fan fact is, that to enable AIDAnova to berth at the shipyard's pier, the floating part of Spectrum of the Seas (RCI ship) was moved to another berth in the harbor.
The christening ceremony was on August 31, , held at Meyer Werft's Papenburg shipyard. The show included a live, open-air solo concert by DJ David Guetta. Advance ticket sales for the "AIDA Open Air" show started on March 9, , with ticket price EUR 35 pp.
The event was unique as it was the first shipyard christening ceremony in over 20 years. The decision was made to express AIDA's gratitude to all the workers who contributed to the liner's construction. The naming ceremony was attended by around 25, spectators. "AIDA Open Air" show featured laser and lighting effects (produced by 20 laser projectors, over stroboscopic lamps, over floodlights-spotlights) and two acrobats gliding over the water. Instead of a Godmother, the liner has a "god family" (Mirza, from Hanau / Hesse, Germany) - Asad (33 yo) and Sonja (31), and their kids Adrian (3 yo) and Sophia (2 yo).
The cruise ship's tugboats-assisted conveyance on Ems River to North Sea (Papenburg to Eemshaven Holland) was conducted on October , The conveyance schedule included for October 8th: departure from Papenburg (~7 am), passing sea lock Papenburg (~8 am), passing Friesenbridge/Weener (~ pm), passing Jann Berghaus Bridge/Leer (~7 pm), arrival at Ems River barrier/Gandersum (~ pm), and for October 9th: passing Ems River barrier (~1 am), passing Emden (~ am) and arrival at Eemshaven (~9 am).
Followed sea trials. The , GT-ton vessel is by far the largest Germany-built liner, as well as the world's biggest cruise ship that has ever sailed on such a narrow inland waterway. AIDAnova's Captain is Boris Becker.
The German manufacturer Wanzl Metallwarenfabrik GmbH supplied AIDAnova's + trolleys used by the ship's housekeeping and room service staff. Of all units, were customized Mundus chambermaid trolleys. The custom design features fold-out push handle, locking brake (for better maneuverability and stability), 3 flexible shelves (for clean laundry), push and pull drawer (above the shelves), separate enclosed container (for dirty laundry), 2 removable-washable plastic bags (secured on both sides, for towels and cloths), bucket, storage tray, waste separation baskets (each accessed separately), as well as ability to lock the trolley via RFID chip.
The AIDA ship's namesake is the built Silver Nova (Silversea).
In , AIDAnova's powerplant was retrofitted to be able to use electricity generated by the methanol-powered fuel cell system developed by Freudenberg e-Power Systems (Freudenberg Fuel Cell e-Power Systems GmbH), which is part of Freudenberg Group (founded, Weinheim-based, family-owned group of technology and production companies specializing in household products, textiles, building materials, auto parts, telecommunications).
