AIDAluna Review
Review of AIDAluna
The 2009-built AIDAluna cruise ship is the third SPHINX-class AIDA liner, with sisterships AIDAdiva and AIDAbella.
The vessel (IMO number 9334868) is currently Italy-flagged (MMSI 247255400) and registered in Genova.
History - construction and ownership
AIDA Cruises is a Rostock-headquartered subsidiary company owned by Carnival Corporation. AIDA is Europe's largest German cruise line (followed by TUI) targeting younger and more active travelers. AIDA was founded in 1960 (as "Deutsche Seereederei") and in 2000 was acquired by P&O Princess Cruises, which merged with Carnival Corporation (shipowner) in 2003. AIDA's first World Cruise (AIDAcara) was in 2017-2018 (October-February) with 116-day roundtrip itinerary from Hamburg Germany.
The 2100-passenger ship AIDAluna pioneered the fleet's poolside/outdoor theater (dimensions 8 x 4.5 m). The vessel's godmother is the German fashion model Franziska Knuppe. The christening ceremony took place at Palma de Mallorca, on April 4, 2009, during the maiden voyage.
Besides the ship's staff and crew, AIDA cruise passengers are also served by Peper robots - the latest cyborg technology implemented fleetwide in 2016. These humanoid robots greet and guide passengers upon embarkation. They also assist them throughout the cruise by providing information and tips on onboard dining, entertainment, enrichment program (workshops, pre-scheduled events), casino and shopping promotions, shore excursions and tours. Pepper robots are mobile and communicate in 3 languages (English, German, Italian). They can also interpret human emotions by analyzing voice tones and facial expressions.

The 14-night one-way inaugural cruise itinerary (Hamburg to Palma de Mallorca) visited 8 port cities in 5 countries - Le Havre (France), Santander and La Coruna (Spain), Lisbon (Portugal), Cadiz (Spain), Tangier (Morocco), and Valencia and Barcelona.
The ship christening ceremony was held on April 4th, in Port Palma (Mallorca-Majorca Island, Spain). The ship's godmother was Franziska Knuppe (1974-born German fashion model and actress).
After the Mediterranean, the vessel relocated to Northern Europe for a summer Baltic season, then it was repositioned to the Canary Islands for winter 2009-2010.
Fun fact is that she is also the godmother of AIDA's 14th fleet member - AIDAmira (fka Costa neoRiviera/now Ambassador Ambition) that joined the fleet in 2019.
AIDAluna's namesakes are Norwegian Luna (2026), the Luna Seaways ferry, and the riverboats Arosa Luna and Emerald Luna.
The Theatrium is a 3-level entertainment complex transforming the Atrium into a Theater. There is also a 4D Cinema fitted with moving chairs. A biking station provides bicycles used on shore excursions in ports of call. A significant amount of indoor-outdoor space is devoted to sports. The Pool Deck area also acts as an outdoor entertainment space. Dining options include 3 informal buffet restaurants, three specialty restaurants (dining at extra charge), plus informal venues for light snacks, pizzas, coffee/tea.
All documents, signage and announcements on board are in German, as the majority of AIDA passengers are German-speaking Europeans (Germans, Austrians, Swiss). The crew is international, many of them well-speaking English.
