AIDA Cruises extends pause of its operation until end of August 2020
ROSTOCK, Germany, July 2, 2020 -- Given the gradual easing in intra-European
travel, AIDA Cruises believes it will resume its cruise operation later this
summer. However, the conditions for safe travel do not yet exist in many
destinations worldwide.
Since it is of great importance to AIDA Cruises to ensure all guests have
confidence in planning their vacations, the company today announced it has
extended its pause of operations until August 31, 2020. This does not apply to
individual departures from AIDAprima, AIDAperla and AIDAdiva.
AIDA Cruises is in close and constant contact with all of the relevant
authorities discussing the brand's interest in restarting cruise vacations,
when the time is right, under adapted conditions and in full compliance with
all sanitization and hygiene standards and protocols for physical distancing.
All guests whose trip cannot take place as originally scheduled will be
informed immediately. Bookings are processed chronologically according to the
departure date. The company publishes all updated information on the current
pause of operation at www.aida.de/reisehinweis.
AIDA very much wants guests to enjoy their long-awaited AIDA holidays at a
later date. To this end, AIDA will reimburse all guests whose cruises will not
take place in August 2020 for the payments previously made to AIDA in the form
of a travel credit. AIDA appreciates guests for their confidence by offering
them a bonus of 10% on top of the payment already made.
In order to support travel agencies in these challenging times, AIDA will pay
out a liquidity advance. This is 10% of the credit value and will be
transferred to the sales partner as soon as AIDA has issued the travel credit
for the joint customer.
Guests can find detailed information on the travel credit on www.aida.de and
sales partners on the AIDA Expinet website.
