AIDA Bar Menu 2026: A Detailed Overview of New Drinks, Brands, and Prices

The most noticeable change in the 2026 bar menu concerns the selection of spirits used. In many areas, AIDA is moving away from previous standard brands and relying instead on internationally known "Power Brands."

• Vodka: The previously served 9 Mile Vodka is being replaced by the world-famous Absolut Vodka.
• Gin: While the in-house AIDA Gin or Tanqueray were often used previously, Bombay Sapphire will be used as the standard for gin drinks in the future.
• Beer: In the area of international bottled beers, the Spanish Estrella Galicia gives way to the brand Heineken.

For the guest, this switch primarily means one thing: more transparency and familiar quality in the glass.

Cocktails & Long Drinks: Classics and New Prices

The upgrade in ingredients is accompanied by adjustments in prices, particularly for complex mixed drinks.

A clear example is the Long Island Ice Tea. This classic, consisting of multiple spirits, previously cost €8.90. In the 2026 bar menu, it is listed at €11.90. However, the guest receives a drink mixed on the basis of the new premium spirits (such as Bombay Sapphire and Absolut) instead of the previous cheaper alternatives.

The assortment has also been streamlined. Some less requested drinks, such as the Kentucky Hard Lemonade or the Captain’s Negroni, can no longer be found on the menu. Instead, popular classics are moving back into focus.

"Juicy Cocktails": The Alcohol-Free Revolution

AIDA is paying special attention in 2026 to guests who do not wish to drink alcohol but still do not want to forego the taste of a real cocktail. The previous category of "Mocktails" has been deleted and replaced by the fresher term "Juicy Cocktails."

This is not just a renaming. The recipes have been fundamentally revised. Instead of simple syrup mixtures, technically sophisticated, dealcoholized spirits from the brand Undone are now used. Thus, a non-alcoholic Gin and Tonic or the new Coconut Mai Tai (alcohol-free) tastes almost identical to the original – just without the effect of alcohol.

Additionally, the range of soft drinks is being expanded:

• Organic Lemonades from the brand Voelkel (varieties like "BioZisch").
• Reduced-sugar options like Red Bull Sugarfree or Light Lemonades.

Beer Prices: Stability for Big Thirsts

For many German vacationers, the beer price is an important indicator. Here, the picture is mixed:

• The small draft Radeberger (0.3l) becomes slightly more expensive and now costs €4.00 (previously €3.90).
• The large Radeberger (0.5l) remains price-stable at €5.50.

Those who enjoy wheat beer will now also find Schöfferhofer Grapefruit in the non-alcoholic variety on the menu.

New Beverage Package Structure

A much clearer structure also applies to beverage packages in 2026. The previous subdivision into three levels (Light, Comfort, Comfort Deluxe) is a thing of the past. Instead, there are only two clear options for adults:

1. AIDA Fun: The package for all non-alcoholic drinks.
2. AIDA All Inclusive: The complete package including alcoholic drinks.

Good news for users of the "All Inclusive" package: The popular Shots (short drinks like B-52 or Hot Lips), which previously often had to be paid for separately (single price €4.50), are now permanently included in the package. Furthermore, the aforementioned premium brands like Bombay Sapphire are explicitly part of the offer, increasing the value of the package.

Conclusion

The 2026 bar menu from AIDA focuses on quality and known brands. While guests have to dig a little deeper into their pockets for individual cocktails, they receive higher quality spirits in return. The simplification of beverage packages and the upgrading of the non-alcoholic segment round off the new offer, providing the right refreshment for every taste onboard.
