Before crossing the Atlantic, the AIDAperla will make stops in Fort-de-France on Martinique, St. John’s on Antigua, and Basseterre on St. Kitts. Following these visits, the ship will spend seven days at sea before reaching Tenerife, one of the Canary Islands. The transatlantic cruise was available for booking in various segments. Some guests boarded a week earlier in La Romana, Dominican Republic, while not all passengers will remain on board until Hamburg, as a partial passenger change will take place on March 31, 2025, in Santa Cruz, Tenerife.

The AIDAperla is scheduled to arrive in Hamburg on April 9, 2025, where it will be stationed for the 2025 summer season.

Until October 25, 2025, the AIDAperla will dock every Saturday at the Cruise Center Steinwerder in Hamburg to welcome new guests or bid farewell to departing ones. The 2025/26 winter season will see the ship return to its "Caribbean Islands" route.
