AIDA's
marine and climate protection expert on board as a guest lecturer
As part of the
event series "Celebrities read," the marine and climate protection expert Mojib
Latif has been on board AIDAsol since February 26, 2017.
On the
seven-day cruise around the Canary Islands, guests still have a chance to see
Latif in exciting readings and talks until March 5, 2017. The dedicated marine
and climate protector reads from his book "The End of the Oceans" ("Das Ende
der Ozeane"), among other things. In a talk moderated by Dr. Monika Griefahn,
Chief Sustainability Officer at AIDA Cruises, guests also receive fascinating
insights into the subject of marine and climate protection and how climate
change can be limited.
"I feel very
welcome on board. I want to make it clear to the guests how unique our world
is. We have to live differently on our planet and manage to make more
intelligent use of our limited resources," says Latif.
AIDA guests
will once more be able to enjoy highly varied entertainment at sea in 2017. It
is not only the ship and the destinations that define an AIDA vacation cruise,
but also the multi-award-winning on-board entertainment program. Well over 20
well-known presenters, actors and best-selling writers from the movies,
television and theater will be captivating guests on board during 2017 with
