    AIDAprima is Back: Fresh Look and Norway Bound After Dry Dock

    AIDAprima is back in service! Today, on May 13, 2026, the ship casts off from Hamburg-Steinwerder to kick off its Norwegian summer season. Previously, the cruise giant spent two weeks in dry dock for its mandatory ten-year class renewal. Contrary to some rumors, this shipyard stay did not take place at Blohm+Voss in Hamburg, but at Damen Shiprepair in Rotterdam, Netherlands. The massive dry dock there provided the perfect conditions for comprehensive work on the hull and onboard technology.

    AIDAprima ist zurück im Dienst! Am heutigen 13. Mai 2026 heißt es in Hamburg-Steinwerder wieder „Leinen los“, wenn das Schiff in seine norwegische Sommersaison startet. Zuvor verbrachte der Kreuzfahrtriese zwei Wochen zur planmäßigen Zehnjahres-Klasseerneuerung im Trockendock. Entgegen einiger Gerüchte fand dieser Werftaufenthalt nicht bei Blohm+Voss in Hamburg statt, sondern bei Damen Shiprepair im niederländischen Rotterdam. Dort bot das gigantische Trockendock die perfekten Bedingungen für die umfassenden Arbeiten an Rumpf und Technik.

Durch regelmäßige Werftaufenthalte und moderne Umwelttechnik, wie etwa die Landstromfähigkeit, ist sie auch im Jahr 2026 bestens für die Zukunft auf dem Meer gerüstet.

    Alcohol Ban in the Bahamas: Cruise Passengers Angered

    A short-notice alcohol ban in the Bahamas caused major dissatisfaction among cruise guests in mid-May 2026. The strict rules were implemented due to the national election day. However, the cruise line Royal Caribbean only informed its passengers about the upcoming dry stopover 48 hours before departure. This caused plenty of frustration on board. The exact same situation had already occurred during the early voting two weeks prior. Nevertheless, proactive communication from the company did not take place.

    Ein kurzfristiges Alkoholverbot auf den Bahamas hat Mitte Mai 2026 für großen Unmut bei Kreuzfahrtgästen gesorgt. Grund für die strengen Regeln war der nationale Wahltag. Die Reederei Royal Caribbean informierte ihre Passagiere jedoch erst 48 Stunden vor Reiseantritt über den anstehenden trockenen Zwischenstopp. Das sorgte für reichlich Frust an Bord. Bereits zwei Wochen zuvor gab es bei den Vorwahlen exakt dieselbe Situation. Eine vorausschauende Kommunikation seitens des Unternehmens fand trotzdem nicht statt.

    Hantavirus on Cruise Ship: Evacuation of the MV Hondius

    An unprecedented evacuation operation is currently unfolding off the coast of Tenerife. The expedition cruise ship MV Hondius, operated by Oceanwide Expeditions, is anchored there. The reason is serious: a rare Andes Hantavirus outbreak has occurred on board. Three passengers have already lost their lives due to the infection. The pathogen is highly dangerous but, according to WHO experts, will not trigger a new pandemic, as it is far less contagious than, for example, the coronavirus.

    Aktuell spielt sich vor der Küste Teneriffas eine beispiellose Evakuierungsaktion ab. Das Expeditionskreuzfahrtschiff MV Hondius der Reederei Oceanwide Expeditions liegt dort auf Reede. Der Grund dafür ist ernst: An Bord ist das seltene Andes-Hantavirus ausgebrochen. Drei Passagiere haben infolge der Infektion bereits ihr Leben verloren. Der Erreger ist hochgefährlich, löst aber laut Experten der WHO keine neue Pandemie aus, da er weitaus weniger ansteckend ist als beispielsweise das Coronavirus.
