AIDA Cruises extends Canary Islands season
AIDA Cruises is extending its cruise season in the Canary Islands with AIDAperla until mid-May 2021.
It is offering seven-day voyages from Las Palmas, Gran Canaria.
AIDA Cruises has implemented enhanced health and safety protocols for guests and crew members utilised on several AIDA cruises in late 2020.
In recent months, the islands have been a key holiday destination in Europe with consistently low incidence rates. As a result of the Spanish government’s regulations for safe travel, which coincide with AIDA’s enhanced health and safety protocols, the cruise line’s guests have been able to enjoy holidays in the Canary Islands.
Enhanced health and safety includes a mandatory PCR test before travelling, as well as regular health checks, extensive distance and hygiene rules, and medical care including test capacities on board.
Cruise holidays in other AIDA destinations are currently not possible. However, with the extension of its cruise season around the Canary Islands with AIDAperla, AIDA Cruises will be able to offer guests an attractive holiday option.
This applies to guests who originally booked a cruise in the Mediterranean on AIDAstella with departure dates from 20 March up to and including 11 May 2021. On AIDAperla with departure dates to 14 May 2021; on AIDAblu between 4 April up to and including 25 Aprill, 2021; and on AIDAmar between 21 March up to and including 18 April 2021.
The same applies to all guests who were originally scheduled to depart with AIDAsol from Hamburg and Rotterdam to Northern Europe and Norway between 20 March and 3 April 2021, or with AIDAluna from Hamburg on 31 March and 4 April 2021.
The positioning cruises with AIDAmira scheduled to depart on 16 April 2021, and AIDAvita on 20 April 2021, have been cancelled as well.
All guests whose voyage cannot take place as originally scheduled will be informed immediately.
With the ‘AIDA promise,’ it is offering more flexibility and security in planning. Generous booking options are part of AIDA’s commitment to its guests, ranging from small down payments to free rebooking.
The ‘AIDA promise’ is included in the cruise fare for new bookings up to 31 May 2021, and applies to departures up to 1 October 2021.
All trips from the AIDA cruise program can be booked through summer 2022 with a local travel professional, online at www.aida.de or through the AIDA customer center.
