AIDAstella

AIDAstella is a Sphinx-class cruise ship, built at Meyer Werft for AIDA Cruises. She is the seventh Sphinx series ship, preceded by sisters AIDAdiva, AIDAbella, AIDAluna, AIDAblu, AIDAsol and AIDAmar. AIDAstella was delivered to the shipping company by Meyer Werft on 11 March 2013.

AIDAstella was built in 2013. Vessels of this generation reflect the design conventions of their construction era: atrium layouts, public-room programming, balcony cabin ratios and propulsion systems all evolved measurably between the 1990s, 2000s and 2010s shipbuilding cycles.

Key reported specifications for AIDAstella include a gross tonnage of approximately 71,304 GT, a passenger capacity in the vicinity of 2,194, an overall length of approximately 253 metres.

Onboard programming on a vessel of AIDAstella's profile typically includes multiple dining venues, a central showroom, pool deck areas, a spa and fitness facility, themed bars, and on family-oriented brands children's and teen spaces.

Itineraries assigned to AIDAstella reflect the operator's seasonal deployment plan, which moves vessels between regions to follow demand and weather. Researching the ship's current and upcoming season gives the most accurate picture of where it will sail.
