AIDA Cruises has confirmed its return as an event sponsor for Kiel Week 2025. This year’s theme, “A Home for Everyone,” reflects the inclusive and welcoming spirit of the event.

One of the standout moments will be the grand finale on June 29—AIDA’s signature closing show titled “Home Under the Stars.” Guests will have a chance to win exclusive front-row access on the AIDA rooftop terrace for the show via the @kieler_woche platform, complete with stunning views and refreshing drinks.

AIDA Holiday Experience at the Waterfront

The AIDA holiday area will be set up near the Reventlou Bridge (across from Moby) and open daily from June 21 to 29, 2025. A soft opening will also be held on June 20 starting at 2:00 p.m. The area will welcome guests from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. each day.

Visitors can explore a full-size model cabin from the AIDAcosma, access a consultation lounge, and enjoy site-exclusive promotions, interactive activities, prize draws, and games such as the AIDA lucky wheel. An adventurous AIDA-themed scavenger hunt will also be part of the program.

Focus on Sustainability and Creativity

Sustainability will be a key element of AIDA’s presence at Kiel Week. In collaboration with Bracenet, attendees will have the chance to craft one-of-a-kind bracelets using repurposed fishing nets. These keepsakes can also be customized with engraved messages.

Cruise Ship Visits and Guided Tours

Several AIDA ships will make appearances throughout the event:

  • AIDAbella will be in port on June 20 and 22
  • AIDAnova will dock on June 21 and again on June 28

Visitors will be offered guided tours on board, providing a look inside the cabins and shared areas, along with a complimentary lunch. Children aged 15 and under can join at no cost.

As a bonus, anyone who books a cruise following a ship tour will receive a €50 onboard credit.

Additional information, tour schedules, and booking details are available on AIDA Cruises’ official website.
