Vessel Description

AIDAstella is a mid-size premium cruise ship operated by AIDA Cruises, a German-language cruise brand and subsidiary of Carnival Corporation. She is part of the AIDA "Sphinx" class — a series of vessels built by Meyer Werft in Papenburg, Germany, sharing her design platform with sister ships AIDAmar, AIDAsol, and AIDAdiva, among others.

Delivered in March 2013, AIDAstella was designed specifically to cater to the German-speaking cruise market, featuring onboard amenities, entertainment, dining, and services tailored primarily to German-speaking passengers.

The vessel features the distinctive AIDA livery — a colorful lip and eye design painted on the bow — which has become iconic in the European cruise industry. Her diesel-electric propulsion system utilizing ABB Azipod units provides both enhanced maneuverability and fuel efficiency.

AIDAstella operates seasonal itineraries throughout European waters, including the Mediterranean, Canary Islands, and Northern Europe, as well as Caribbean deployments during winter seasons. The ship offers multiple dining venues, wellness facilities, pools, a theater, and various entertainment options across her 14 passenger decks.
