Jana Lüth, Head of Communication at AIDA Cruises, emphasizes the significance of this partnership: "Our bond with Rostock has grown over decades. The Hanse Sail is a matter truly close to our hearts. It provides the ideal platform to share the excitement for cruising across all generations, strengthen the regional economy, and promote cultural exchange."

Onshore Cruise Experience and an Attractive Contest

In the city harbor, specifically on the Haedgehalbinsel near the Sunshine Stage, the company is creating its own AIDA Holiday World. Here, visitors can immerse themselves in the cruise atmosphere. Attractions include an authentic show cabin, a beach club complete with palm trees and deck chairs, and a large LED screen. The popular AIDA "Kissing Stop" will also be part of the experience. For those dreaming of their own voyage, AIDA is hosting a major competition with a travel voucher valued at €2,500 up for grabs.

Further attractions await guests on the Silo Terraces at the AIDA Cruises headquarters. A wheel of fortune, comfortable deck chairs with a direct view of the harbor, and a children's drawing corner invite guests to relax. The company's travel experts will also be on hand for consultations.

In addition to the onshore program, two ships from the AIDA fleet are expected in Warnemünde. The AIDAmar will kick things off on Thursday, August 7th, 2025.
