Aida cruises started in 1996 with their first ship the AidaCara.

They started to revolutionize the cruise market and step back from the traditional cruising and it´s conventions.
They call their ships Clubships and follow the club concept one knows already from land based club resorts like Club Robinson or Club Med. There´s a high range of animation going on but they also have quiet zones.
