69 now easily transform into a comfortable third bed when needed. On top of that, we upgraded the technology in every cabin. They each now have new TVs, USB-C ports on both bedsides and motion-activated nightlights under bedside tables and in bathrooms. “We also listened to our guests’ wishes and added more family-friendly cabins that can accommodate up to four guests,” continues Heinicke. “And for those seeking a truly elevated experience, we created six new suites at the aft of the ship by combining two balcony cabins into one. These spacious suites now feature separate living and sleeping areas, expansive balconies and two bathrooms. All other suites have been fully renewed for modern appearance.” Makinen executed work in all cabins and AIDA collaborated with Oceancircle to recycle over 45,000 square metres of carpet from AIDAdiva as part of a pilot project. This material will be repurposed for AIDAluna, where it will be used as underlay for TRIMLINE HELPS TO TRANSFORM AIDAdiva Trimline has modernised public areas onboard AIDAdiva as part of the AIDA Evolution programme. “We converted the Weite Welt Restaurant into the luxurious Yachtclub,” says Nick Farrell, co-owner of Trimline. “This involved a full strip-out, structural modifications and the installation of bespoke joinery and high-end technical systems. The Lanai Bar was also reimagined, with a stylish new bar area, modern finishes and custom furnishings, enhancing the guest experience on the open deck. In addition, the Markt Restaurant underwent a comprehensive upgrade to improve both guest areas and back-of-house, which involved us making both aesthetic enhancements and US Public Health-focused updates.” AIDA Cruises’ Steffi Heinicke says the new French Kiss Bistro & Bar “introduces the flavours of France and has a charming atmosphere”, and top, guests can dine in the stylish East Fusion, one of AIDAdiva’s new restaurants Photos: AIDA Cruises
