AIDA's newest member of the fleet, AIDAperla, is still on its way from the shipyard in Japan to its homeport in Spain, but AIDA is already looking forward to their next (thirteenth) ship which will enter service in December 2018 and be based in the Canary Islands initially. It's so far out, AIDA hasn't even named it yet, but they will open it for sale next week on June 1.
The keel isn't even scheduled to be laid at Meyer Werft until September, but AIDA is beginning to reveal some of the design details.
The complete story appeared in the May 26 edition of Cruise News Daily.
