AIDA Cruises Announces New 117-Day World Cruise

German cruise line AIDA Cruises has announced a new 117-day world cruise onboard their ship AIDAsol. Embarking on October 26, 2022 from Hamburg, Germany, AIDAsol will call at 43 ports in 20 different countries on four continents, pass the International Date Line and cross the equator twice. Guests have the option to participate in the entire journey or hop on board the ship at two other points throughout the cruise. The world cruise was originally scheduled to embark in October 2021 but the COVID-19 pandemic necessitated the rescheduling. 

World Cruise Itinerary

After embarking from Hamburg, the ship heads north up the Elbe River into the North Sea. From there, it makes course to South America with calls on the Canary Islands and Cape Verde Islands off the coast of Africa prior to crossing the Atlantic Ocean. 

Once the ship reaches South America, it calls on Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Buenos Aires and Ushuaia in Argentina, and Chile. From there, the ship continues west across the Pacific Ocean to Tahiti, Bora Bora, Tonga, Fiji, Vanuatu, New Caledonia and Australia to Mauritius. The ship will spend New Year’s Eve in Sydney, Australia.
