AIDA Cruises to Debut at Celebration Key in 2027 with AIDAluna

AIDA Cruises is set to make its first-ever visit to Celebration Key on November 15, 2027, according to the company’s published deployment schedule.

The call will take place after the brand returns to the U.S. East Coast, with AIDAluna visiting Carnival Cruise Line’s private destination during a repositioning voyage.

The 14-night cruise, which sails from New York City on November 5, 2027, is bound for La Romana in the Dominican Republic. Along the way, the itinerary includes stops in Bermuda, Miami, Grand Turk, Arroyo Barril, and Celebration Key.

Following the repositioning sailing, AIDAluna is scheduled to operate a series of Caribbean cruises departing from ports in the Dominican Republic and Barbados. Two additional AIDA ships, AIDAbella and AIDAprima, are also planned to join the fleet in the region for the 2027–28 winter season.

With this visit, AIDA will become the third Carnival Corporation brand to call at Celebration Key, joining Carnival Cruise Line and Princess Cruises. The private destination, located on Grand Bahama Island, opened in mid-2025 and is currently being expanded with new berths and added amenities.

AIDAluna will offer a selection of cruises departing from New York City during fall 2027. These itineraries will explore the U.S. East Coast and the Bahamas, with calls at ports such as Miami, Port Canaveral, and Norfolk.

The sailings form part of AIDA’s broader 2027–28 winter program, which also features itineraries in the Canary Islands, Northern Europe, the Caribbean, South America, the Indian Ocean, and South Africa.

Additional highlights include the “big winter breaks” offered by AIDAmar, which will operate roundtrip cruises to warmer regions from Germany. Among those sailings are a 48-day voyage to Brazil and South America, as well as a 21-day itinerary to the Azores and Morocco.
