Miami Vice or Bollywood? Three AIDA wanderlust routes on winter program for last time
An Oscar-worthy start to your vacation in Miami, or a lengthy voyage of discovery along the west coast of India – these fantastic opportunities will be available for the last time aboard AIDAvita and AIDAaura during the 2016/2017 winter season. After that both ships will set sail for new vacation destinations. To ensure that guests have enough time to get to know the country and its people, the AIDA ships will be berthed overnight at a couple of the ports along the way.
AIDAvita’s eleven-day “Southern States & Mexico” cruise, and its 10-day “Florida & Caribbean” cruise will set sail from and return to the legendary metropolis of Miami, in the Sunshine State of Florida, for the very last times between November 2016 and February 2017. With garishly colorful beach villas overlooking the turquoise sea, pink flamingos, and sunsets we know from the Hollywood classics, AIDAvita winter cruises from Miami fulfill virtually all the summer sun paradise clichés. The AIDAvita “Southern States & Mexico” cruise can be booked from as little as 699 euros per person.
The 18-day transcruise “From Hamburg to Miami” starting on October 16, 2016, also promises some great impressions. During the Atlantic crossing, AIDAvita will make stops in the UK, Ireland, the Azores, Bermuda and Port Canaveral, before the cry of “Welcome to Miami!” goes up on October 30. Prices for this cruise start from 999 euros per person.
After a winter season beneath the southern sun, AIDAvita will take its leave of Miami for the time being. The transcruise “From Miami to Hamburg 2” will launch on March 5, 2017.
And for those who always wanted to explore India – a cruise aboard AIDAaura is a must. On the 14-day “Orient & India” cruise – which is on the AIDA vacation program for the last time from November 2016 until March 2017 – guests will be captivated by eastern metropolises such as Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Muscat where over 1,000 years of Oriental history come together with futuristic skyscrapers.
In addition, this voyage of discovery will travel along the west coast of India. The Indian subcontinent is full of marvels, secrets and contrasts. This winter, AIDAaura’s guests will be able to explore mega metropolises such as Mumbai, Goa’s endless dream beaches, exciting cultures and world-famous treasures such as the Taj Mahal, ancient Indian sacred sites, and the cult of Bollywood – to name but a few of the thrilling discoveries to be made. The 14-day “Orient & India” cruise which starts and ends in Dubai is available from 899 euros.
