Review of AIDAmar
Launched in 2012, AIDAmar is the 6th Sphinx-class AIDA Cruises ship, with sisterships AIDAblu, AIDAstella and AIDAsol.
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 travellers. 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 71,304-ton, 2,194-passenger cruise ship AIDAmar took a five-year period to build. The brand new amenities onboard are the large luxurious SPA facility and onboard brewery. The ship impressed at the very start of her life with one of the most spectacular christening ceremonies. The event was held on May 12, 2012, in Hamburg, where AIDA Mar was accompanied by her sisters Blu, Sol and Luna.
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.
