The cruise will be held on the proven AIDAprima ship, which has already established itself as the perfect venue for this format in previous years. The route takes guests from Hamburg to Zeebrugge in Belgium and back again, with two relaxing days at sea. These sea days are ideal for fully enjoying the extensive music program and the many restaurants and bars on board.

The musical variety is the heart of the Festival Cruise. The organizers have put together a line-up that offers everything from hip-hop and pop to EDM and Schlager. The artists will perform on various stages on board, such as the Theatrium, the Beach Club, and the D6 disco. This creates a special, intimate atmosphere that is hard to find at large festivals on land. Guests can get up close and personal with their favorite stars, which makes this event so exclusive.

The top acts include SDP, known for their high-energy shows, and the singer-songwriter Clueso. In the Beach Club, party artists like Mia Julia and Julian Sommer will create a boisterous atmosphere, while DJs like HBz and David Puentez will thrill fans of electronic music. Retro acts like Captain Jack and Oli.P are also on board, bridging the generations.

  • Acts on the Theatrium Stage: SDP, CLUESO, BAUSA, CLOCKCLOCK, CURSE, ESTHER GRAF, LOI.
  • Acts on the SALITOS STAGE in the Beach Club: DAVID PUENTEZ, HBz, MIA JULIA, NEELIX, CAPTAIN JACK, FAST BOY, JULIAN SOMMER, LARI LUKE, LE SHUUK, NIKLAS DEE, NOEL HOLLER, OLI.P, VIMA.
  • Acts on the D6 and Plaza Stage: CARO VAN Ee, DJ MAS MASSIVE, DJ MATHEW, DJ STYLEWARZ, EASTBEATBROTHERS, ELEPHANTR, KUESTENKLATSCH, LXRENZ, LISTORIO, LIVE BEATS, NotFx.

The cruise is presented in close collaboration with the festival organizer GLÜCKSGEFÜHLE. This partnership not only ensures a top-notch line-up but also opens up new, younger target groups for AIDA who may not have been on a cruise before. The event thus serves as a kind of "entry-level product" into the world of sea travel.

All in all, the AIDA Festival Cruise 2026 is positioned as a unique event that combines the best of two worlds: the relaxed atmosphere of a cruise and the captivating energy of a festival.
