AIDAsol

AIDAsol is a Sphinx class cruise ship, built at Meyer Werft for AIDA Cruises.

She has been competed and is awaiting to be christened on 9 April 2011.

Concept and Construction

AIDAsol was ordered on 13 December 2007, together with her unnamed sister, at Meyer Werft by Carnival Corporation & plc, the parent company of AIDA. It also marked the decision to increase the tonnage and capacity of the then under construction AIDAblu, to 71,000-GT and 2,174 passengers, which makes AIDAsol and AIDAmar her twin sisters in the Sphinx class. The naming ceremony is scheduled on 9 April 2011 in Kiel, Germany.

AIDAsol will be similarly designed from her latest predecessor, AIDAblu. Facilities included are an additional deck, an onboard brewery and a 2,300-m² spa facility. AIDAsol will be 252 meters in length and 32 meters wide.
