AIDAbella deck plans

MS AIDAbella (2008-built, last refurbished in 2021, AIDA Evolution scheduled refurbishment January-March 2026) is the second SPHINX-class ship in the AIDA Cruises fleet, alongside AIDAdiva and AIDAluna. The shipowner is Costa Cruises (a Carnival Corporation brand), and the vessel is operated by the German company AIDA Kreuzfahrten.

The AIDAbella cruise ship deck plan includes a total of 1,025 cabins for 2,050 passengers (maximum occupancy 2,500), served by 590 crew members. The vessel has 13 decks (11 accessible to passengers, 6 with cabins), 7 restaurants, 11 bars and lounges, 3 swimming pools, 4 Jacuzzis/outdoor hot tubs, and 10 elevators.

Complimentary dining options included in the AIDAbella cruise fare are Markt, Weite Welt, Pizzeria Mare, and Bella Vista. Specialty restaurants available at an extra charge (reservation required) include Rossini, Buffalo, and the Sushi Bar. In the ship’s three buffet restaurants (Markt, Weite Welt, and Bella Vista), wine and beer are complimentary during lunch and dinner.

In addition to the ship’s staff and crew, AIDA passengers are also assisted by Pepper robots—humanoid service robots introduced fleetwide in 2016. These advanced robots greet and guide guests during embarkation and continue to assist throughout the cruise, offering helpful information on dining, entertainment, enrichment programs (workshops and scheduled events), casino and shopping promotions, and shore excursions. Pepper robots are mobile, multilingual (English, German, Italian), and capable of interpreting human emotions by analyzing voice tone and facial expressions.
