AIDA Cruises Announces 2025/2026 World Cruise

Bookings are open for the 2025/2026 World Cruise aboard AIDAdiva. She will sail a grand voyage from November 10, 2025 to March 18, 2026. This XXL voyage is the longest in the company’s history at 128 days. While this is the seventh world cruise for AIDA Cruises, this will be the first world cruise for AIDAdiva.

The cruise will begin in Hamburg, Germany and travel to 53 ports, through 28 countries and across four continents. Her itinerary will include the east and west coasts of the United States and Japan and guests will celebrate New Year’s Eve in Hawaii.

The World Cruise itinerary is full of “firsts.” Guests will pass the Statue of Liberty before docking in New York City for the first time. Guests will traverse the Panama Canal, the 8th Wonder of the World, from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean for the first time. AIDAdiva will pass the Golden Gate Bridge before her port of call in San Francisco for the first time. 

The first of the new year will find guests celebrating in Honolulu, Hawaii. After crossing the International Date Line guests will enjoy ports of call in South Korea, Japan, China, Taiwan, and Vietnam before arriving in Singapore. From Singapore, guests will travel to some of the most beautiful places in the Indian Ocean. Here, AIDAdiva will call on Hambantota, Sri Lanka for the first time. Guests will also visit Mumbai in India and Aqaba in Jordan before arriving in Alexandria, Egypt via the Suez Canal. She will then head north through the Mediterranean and visit Malta, Spain, Lisbon and the Netherlands as she makes her way back to Hamburg, Germany. 


During the spring of 2025, and before AIDAdiva sails around the world, she is scheduled for a dry dock overhaul. Her drydock is part of the “AIDA Evolution” that will see three Sphinx-class ships receive a major renovation.
