The 68,500gt AIDAbella will follow sister AIDAdiva, which is due to enter service the month after next. The first of a new class of four vessels, AIDAdiva will be named at an evening ceremony of opera and fireworks in Hamburg on April 20.

AIDA Cruises’ third and fourth newbuilds are set to emerge from Meyer Werft in 2009 and 2010.
