AIDAperla offers entertainment aimed specifically at families during the day at the ship's theater; it's not uncommon to see parents cheering for AIDA mascot, Dodo, alongside their kids. Kids clubs offer workshops, fitness programming, cinema nights, video games and crafting.

Guests can have their best "AIDA fun" on the two water slides, or to try rock climbing, or any other activities on the Prima ship's sports deck. This ship is designed for families, from cabins that accommodate four-plus, to waterslides and ropes courses, and programming. Families are common onboard, and they tend to stick together, despite solid kids clubs with fun programming.
You'll find a number of multigenerational families onboard, with grandparents, parents and children, along with a fair number of grandparents traveling with their grandchildren while mom and dad stay home. AIDAprima provides Easter 2025 voyages from Palma or Barcelona to Malaga, Cadiz and Cartagena, allowing passengers to witness the famous Semana Santa. From February 2024, 3 “Winter in the far north” itineraries are included in the program. AIDAbella visits Indonesia’s Lombok, Bali, Java, and Surabaya, along with destinations in Vietnam and Cambodia in January 2024.
This is also the first German-market dedicated cruise ship with an ice rink. The facility was inaugurated by the skating duo Peter Turner and Salome Casabona Studer, best known from their "Believe" ice show. With the ice rink, AIDA Cruises announced the company's partnership with "Holiday on Ice".
Both blocks were shipped (barged) to Papenburg shipyard on December 2. With AIDAnova engine room construction at Neptun shipyard, were engaged over 500 shipyard workers plus 500 external employees (service providers) and 120 Caterpillar (diesel engine manufacturer) employees. AIDAnova itinerary program is based on 7-night roundtrip Canary Islands cruises with Madeira island (Portugal). The "Inaugural Cruise" from Tenerife was scheduled for December 12, 2018. The roundtrip Canaries itinerary visits the ports Puerto del Rosario (Fuerteventura), Arrecife (Lanzarote), Las Palmas (Gran Canaria), and Funchal (Madeira Island). The panoramic glass elevators which connect the outdoor areas, as well as the glass 45-meter above water level skywalk are among the other highlights.
AIDAprima itinerary program is based on round-trip cruises in Asia from Dubai and Abu Dhabi, and Western European sailings out of Hamburg and Rotterdam. From April 30, 2016, Hamburg is AIDAprima's homeport for 7-day round-trips to top cities in Western Europe. AIDAprima was the line's first cruise ship serving the premium Starbucks drinks onboard. Since mid-January 2017, onboard can be purchased branded Starbucks products (specialty coffees/teas, 26 different menu items, 3 different sizes - Espresso, Tall, Grande). The new offer is a result of the company's partnership "We Proudly Serve Starbucks" and was gradually introduced to other AIDA ships over 2017. The ship's launch (float-out ceremony) was at 7 pm on August 21, 2018.
Next short cruises were planned to depart from Hamburg to either Oslo Norway or Rotterdam Holland. The ship features a tiny, lightly used casino, along with numerous shops featuring designer brands and logo items. Passengers tend to be appreciative of the ship's laid-back vibe, which is heavy on fun and light on formality.
