AIDA Cruises is adding winter cruises from Kiel aboard the AIDAperla to its the 2027–28 winter season. Instead of a winter season in the Middle East, which was recently canceled, the ship will sail itineraries to Baltic and Nordic cities, along the Norwegian coast and a “Great Winter Break Canary Islands” trip from November 2027 to May 2028. The new winter cruises lasting from three to 11 nights can also be combined into longer options, AIDA said in a press release. The AIDAperla will start the winter season from Kiel on November 13, 2027, setting course for Northern European destinations, including Copenhagen, Riga, Tallinn, Helsinki and Stockholm, among others. After winter destinations, the AIDAperla will set sail from Kiel for the 24-day “Great Winter Break Canary Islands” in January 2028, connecting the Canary Islands with other destinations along the Atlantic coast of Europe.
