About AIDAnova
AIDAnova was the first cruise ship able to run entirely on liquefied natural gas when Meyer Werft delivered it in December 2018. The 183,858-ton Excellence-class ship, AIDA's largest along with its sister AIDAcosma, carries about 5,250 guests at double occupancy and a crew of about 1,650. Its maiden voyage on 19 December 2018 was a week around the Canary Islands and Madeira from Tenerife, and in 2019 it became the first cruise ship to receive Germany's Blue Angel eco-label for its design. It now sails Western Europe and Norway cruises from Hamburg in winter and Norwegian fjord voyages from Kiel in summer.
