AIDACruises has played a significant role in the Port of Kiel developing into oneof Germany'sleading cruise ports. The maiden voyage of AIDA's firstship, today'sAIDAcara, included a visit to Kiel already back on June 8, 1996. With 138arrivals, AIDAcara is the most frequent guest of the Kiel Fjord to date.

AIDACruises' continuedexpansion of the AIDA fleet helped make Kiel a popular home port for voyages toNorthern Europe and the Baltic region. Theopening of the modern Ostseekai cruise terminal in 2007 with the arrival ofAIDAdiva, was the next important milestone. The christening of AIDAsol on April9, 2011, was unforgettable. During the course of the tremendous christeningparty, 45,000 Kiel residents and guests welcomed the eighth member of the AIDAfleet.
