Blue Dream Melody Review
Review of Blue Dream Melody
The 2002-built (as AIDAvita) cruise ship Blue Dream Melody was the second-oldest and smallest in AIDA's fleet - following the sistership AIDAaura/now Celestyal Discovery. For the Chinese travel brand Blue Dream Cruises, the ship's fleetmate is Blue Dream Star (2001-built).
Before the ownership change in January 2024, the AIDAvita vessel (IMO number 9221554) was Portugal Madeira-flagged (MMSI 255919000) and registered in Funchal. During its AIDA service (until February 2023), the vessel was Italy-flagged (MMSI 247114900), with port of registry Genova.
The vessel is currently Liberia-flagged (MMSI 636022869) and registered in Monrovia.
History - construction and ownership
On June 14, 2022, was announced that the 20-year-old AIDAvita will not resume operations as the ship is sold and leaves the fleet. There were speculations that AIDAvita is acquired by Cordellia Cruises India.
Vita's last AIDA schedule had listed a total of 30x voyages (departures between July 24, 2022, and February 26, 2024) all of which were canceled.
During the COVID crisis and up to July 2023, AIDAvita spent most of the time docked at Port Tallinn Estonia, being maintained by a skeleton crew.
Currently (since January 2024), the ship Blue Dream Melody is owned by Suzhou Taihu International Travel Ltd (China) via its subsidiary Fujian China Transport Investment Group Co Ltd (China/2016-founded) which owns the company/travel brand Blue Dream Cruises China.
The shipowner Fujian China Transport Investment Group also owns the Chinese travel brands "Diamond Cruise Line" and "National Cruise".
On January 12, 2023, the Chinese company acquired the vessel (temporarily named AVITAK) from the previous owner Beta Marine Ltd (1987-founded, Hardwicke England-based manufacturer of marine diesel engines and generator sets). The vessel left Tallinn on Jan 26th (at 16:23 UTC), en route to China.
The 1300-passenger ship AIDAvita was designed as "club ship", ultra-casual like all vessels in AIDA's fleet. The five AIDAvita bars are also designed in a casual mood. The popularity of AIDA ship family made AIDA services appreciated and famous by the cruising community.
Before the start of revenue operations for the new Chinese owner, the ship entered drydock for extensive refit/modifications (technical overhaul, maintenance works, classification inspections, superstructure and hull cleaning/repainting) and a shore-power connection was added. A major interior refurbishment (redesign/renovations of all public spaces and staterooms, new carpeting and flooring throughout) was done to make the ship attractive to Chinese travelers.
Decks and Cabins
AIDAvita staterooms (633 total, in 9 grades) include 2 Suites, 62 Balconies, 357 Oceanviews, and 214 Inside cabins. The largest accommodations are the Forward-Facing Premium Suites (sized 355 ft2 / 33 m2 plus private sundeck terrace sized 270 ft2 / 25 m2).
The boat has 12 decks, of which 10 are passenger-accessible and 5 with cabins.

Blue Dream Melody itineraries
In May 2024, Blue Dream Cruises scheduled longer itineraries for the Blue Dream Melody ship leaving from China in 2024.
The 33-night/34-day Around Asia Cruise titled "Epic Voyage to the West" (departure November 26th/2024, roundtrip from Shanghai) visits 17 ports in 10 countries, including China, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia, Singapore, Brunei. Shorter itineraries (all roundtrips from Shanghai) visit port cities in Korea (Busan) and Japan (Kumamoto, Nagasaki, Osaka/Kobe, Tokyo, Shimizu, Kochi, Fukuoka, Okinawa, Amami, Kagoshima) with itinerary lengths 7-nights/8-days, and 11-nights/12-days.
AIDAvita itineraries
AIDAvita itinerary program was based on Northern European and Canaries voyages leaving roundtrip from Germany (homeports Hamburg and Warnemunde-Rostock). Itineraries visited ports in Norway (Norwegian Fjords), England UK, France (Honfleur), Holland (Rotterdam), Portugal's Madeira Island, Spain's Canary Islands (Gran Canaria, La Gomera, La Palma, El Hierro, Tenerife, Fuerteventura, Lanzarote), Iberia (seaports in Spain and Portugal).
Due to the Coronavirus crisis, the AIDA ship Vita was paused for 3+ years (March 2020 through February 2023) but was scheduled to resume passenger shipping operations after 2 years (on March 31, 2022). However, the restart date was rescheduled several times and eventually canceled entirely (see the ship's Wiki section/page-bottom). The Russia-Ukraine crisis also played a role in the cancellations.
Some of AIDAvita's canceled voyages were assigned to AIDAbella.

Blue Dream Melody Wiki
AIDAvita was AIDA's second-oldest ship - after AIDAaura/now Celestyal Discovery. The christening ceremony was held in Warnemunde Germany on May 4, 2002. The ship's godmother was Doris Schroder-Kopf - the wife of Gerhard Schroder (1944-born, who was Germany's Chancellor in the period 1998-2005). Both vessels were designed as "ultra-casual club ships".
Like all AIDA ships, Vita carried its own fleet of complimentary bicycles for passengers to use in call ports during the voyage. A significant amount of interior space is devoted to sports. The onboard language was German as most AIDA customers are German-speaking Europeans (Germans, Austrians, Swiss), the majority of whom are young and active.
The vessel (Nordic Yards Wismar hull number A325283/Aker MTW yard hull number 005) has volume 42289 GT-tons, DWT-deadweight 4232, max width 35,5 m (including the Bridge wings), max draught 6,3 m. The propulsion is diesel-electric and the powerplant is based on Wartsila diesel generators powering two ABB electric motors (model AMZ 1600YX-14) with combined output 18,8 MW (25210 hp). When managed by AIDA CRUISES, the shipowner was COSTA CROCIERE SPA.
In June 2023, Blue Dream Cruises signed a partnership deal with Starboard Cruise Services (1958-founded, Doral Florida-based company owned by LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton/French holding specializing in luxury goods). The deal makes Blue Dream Melody the second Chinese-owned cruise vessel (after the fleetmate Blue Dream Star) providing Starboard's onboard retail shopping services. Among the premium brands now available at the ship's duty-free shops are Armani, Gucci, Hugo Boss, Prada, Ray-Ban, Love Moschino, premium Swiss watch brands (Longines, Tissot, Titoni), as well as international and Asian brands like Sisley (perfumes, clothing, accessories), Shiseido (makeup and cosmetics), Sulwhasoo (skincare and beauty products).
