AIDA announces launch of Canary Islands cruises next week
German cruise line AIDA is to launch cruises around the Canary Islands from 5 December.
The AIDAperla will launch first, followed by AIDAmar, which will start its winter season with a cruise on 20 December.
The seven-day cruises around the Canaries will start at the weekends from Gran Canaria.
"The Spanish government adopted clear regulations for safe travel in the Canaries in November, which are in line with AIDA’s already established hygiene and prevention measures," it said.
Passengers will have to undergo free Covid tests before boarding. Other safety measures include social distancing onboard, increased disinfection and guided shore excursions.
AIDA has cancelled its cruises on AIDAstella and AIDAprima that were planned between 1 December and 26 January. Affected guests are being informed.
