Ship Change - from Sol to Mar

There is a lot of excitement in our WhatsApp group. Nine days before departure, the world cruise has disappeared from the AIDA homepage. Some report that the booked special services on myAIDA are marked as cancelled. And we still don't have our travel documents.

At first, it was a rumor that slowly solidified. AIDA Cruises is making a ship change. The AIDAsol will be replaced by the identical AIDAmar. The Sol is defective and the need to replace a 'technical' component cannot be guaranteed everywhere on the world cruise route. The shipping company is facing a logistical challenge. In Hamburg, the ships and crews have to be swapped while operations are running.

There is still no official announcement from AIDA to the affected guests. However, there are many insiders on board who know from a reliable source through their private channels to crew members. There have also been corresponding articles published in the press.

Interesting communication policy!
