AIDA Rebrands 2026-27 Repositioning Cruises as Time-Out Voyages
AIDAbella is scheduled to leave Kiel for Barbados on October 25, 2026, with its return Atlantic crossing beginning March 27, 2027.
AIDA Cruises has renamed its repositioning cruises “Time-Out Voyages” for a fall 2026 and spring 2027 program covering Western Europe, Atlantic crossings, the Caribbean, the Mediterranean and southern Africa. The schedule names five ships from AIDA’s 11-vessel fleet and includes transfers to and from the line’s Northern European homeports. The new label applies to longer seasonal voyages with extended periods at sea and port combinations outside the regular regional programs.
Atlantic crossings anchor the program
AIDAbella will depart Kiel for Barbados on Oct. 25, 2026. Its return crossing begins March 27, 2027, taking the ship across the Atlantic to Northern Europe. Premium fares start at €3,095 per person based on two guests sharing an inside cabin.
AIDAperla will also operate westbound and eastbound Atlantic crossings during the two seasons. Those itineraries include calls in the Canary Islands. AIDA announced no dates or pricing for AIDAperla.
Where the other three ships sail
AIDAmar will operate a 14-day voyage from Warnemünde to Mallorca from Oct. 11 to 25, 2026. The itinerary calls at A Coruña, Lisbon and Seville before ending in Palma de Mallorca. Premium fares for that sailing start at €1,635 per person in a category IA inside cabin, based on double occupancy. The published price includes a €300 early-booking-plus discount.
AIDAprima enters the program on Dec. 5, 2026, with a 14-day itinerary called “Western Europe Highlights with Morocco.” The sailing combines the Canary Islands and Morocco with ports along Europe’s western coast before arriving in Kiel.
AIDA also lists voyages from Antalya to Mallorca and between Namibia and Cape Town. AIDAstella is scheduled for a 29-day Time-Out Voyage from Oct. 22 to Nov. 20, 2026.
Spring voyages return ships to Germany
Two additional spring sailings will head for German ports, one from Gran Canaria via Portugal to Warnemünde and the other from Mallorca via Portugal to Hamburg.
