Inside Favorites Among German Cruisers: AIDA Cruises stands out

Get ready for an unforgettable journey as AIDA Cruises unveils a variety of Northern Europe itineraries departing from German ports in 2025. From the bustling city of Hamburg to the picturesque town of Warnemünde and the historic city of Kiel, AIDA offers a wide choice for travellers who wish to explore the beauty of Northern Europe.

Hamburg

Sail the Norwegian Fjords or embark on a Metropolises & Norway cruise from Hamburg. For those seeking a shorter getaway, 7-night Norway cruises are available, while the more adventurous can opt for the 14-night Metropolises & Norway cruises.

Kiel

Kiel offers 7-night Scandinavian highlights cruises and Northern Lights sailings. These cruises, especially popular in fall 2025, will take you to Norwegian ports such as Brønnøysund, Leknes, Bodø, and Tromsø.

Warnemünde

Cruises from Warnemünde also depart on Northern Europe itineraries, visiting Baltic destinations.

AIDA operates approximately 290 cruises out of these ports from April to October 2025 on eight different ships, with routes ranging from short trips to longer voyages of 14 days or more.

Costs

The cost of AIDA cruises depends on the length of the voyage, cabin category, and season. Shorter cruises (e.g., 2 to 7 nights) from Hamburg start around a few hundred euros per person in interior cabins. Longer or specialty cruises (14 days or more, Northern Lights trips) typically start at around €1,000 to €2,000+ per person. Luxury or specialty suites and peak season dates will significantly increase costs.

For example, 7-night Norwegian Fjords or Scandinavian cruises typically range from approximately €700 to over €1,500 per person, while longer or more complex itineraries can cost €2,000 and beyond depending on the cabin and booking time. Travelers should also factor in taxes, port fees, onboard expenses, and optional excursions.
