AIDAluna Celebrates 17th Birthday: Refit Details & 2026 Itineraries

In late 2025, a multi-million-euro investment was made in Marseille to modernize the ship. Beyond technical upgrades, AIDAluna now features exclusive aft suites and new culinary highlights such as "East Fusion" and "French Kiss." The innovative design and successful transformation of public spaces have already garnered prestigious industry awards. The crew areas were also completely renovated to enhance daily life on board for the staff.

Sustainability was a core focus of the modernization. A new silicone underwater coating reduces friction, leading to measurable fuel savings. Additionally, LED technology, solar films, and modern desalination plants significantly improve the energy balance. This ensures the ship meets both aesthetic standards and strict environmental regulations, making AIDAluna perfectly equipped for its upcoming adventures in Northern Europe.

As soon as AIDAluna docks in Hamburg on April 9, the summer season begins with courses set for the Norwegian fjords and the British Isles. From Scottish highlights to expeditions to the Arctic Circle, the modernized Sphinx class remains a cornerstone of the fleet. Especially during AIDA's 30th-anniversary year, the ship proves that even after 17 years, it remains at the forefront of technology and style.
