Kiwi_cruiser Posted November 29, 2017 #1 Share Posted November 29, 2017 There is a new(?) cruise line heading for Australia the cruise line is called AIDA!, Its a German cruise line. (Some of you who work at OPT might need to work on your German ;) :)) As far as I am aware this is the first time AIDA cruise line has been down under. AIDA is sending the AIDA Cara to Australia!. AIDA Cara has 1,186 passengers and was launched in 1996, according to wikipedia AIDA Cara is the oldest ship they have. She is 193.30 m long and has a 6.19m draft. Today (29th November 2017) it looks like AIDA Cara made it to Easter Island! :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what we were told, the majority of their passengers are indeed German. I've just read that it's on a world tour, coming now from Tahiti to NZ and Australia before heading to Komodo, eff, and on to the Suez canal. I hope the passengers enjoy there time down here.

Rare MicCanberra Posted November 29, 2017 #5 Share Posted November 29, 2017 I have chatted with some people who were travelling on an Aida ship and they said the ship is lovely and the cruise was going really well.:) Just one issue was that they said the sausages were the wurst.:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Big_M Posted November 30, 2017 #6 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Thanks for the update - nice to hear Aida is visiting. They don't usually venture so far away from home - but should be quite visible when at OPT. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beejay4016 Posted December 5, 2017 #14 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Fraus, not Herren. Damen und Herren is actually the more correct way of saying it - translates more closely to ladies and gentlemen. Don't even know what "Herrs" are, unless - oh, is that a joke, Joyce?
