Vacation – that means finally having time for yourself, your partner and your family. Taking a deep breath, finding yourself again and trying something new.

 

The cruise line AIDA Cruises is bundling all theme worlds under the name AIDA+ starting now. This includes all of the workshops, lectures, shows and theme journeys that are offered in addition to the regular program, all of which designed with a lot of attention to detail.

Sports and family specials, guest artists, lecturers and versatile workshops on the topics of happiness, success, health, sports, creativity and lifestyle can now be found quickly and easily online at www.aida.de/aidaplus.

 

AIDA dances

Guests can practice their steps with Motsi Mabuse and her dance partner Evgenij Voznyuk on this popular theme journey. The workshops offered by the multiple German master in Latin-American dances don’t just add a new spark to the dance floor but provide lots of entertainment as well. Motsi Mabuse became famous to a wide audience as a dancer and judge on the RTL show “Let’s Dance.” Guests can show off their new moves during the festive dance evening.

Lighter living

Experts offer advice on how to easily maintain a light and healthy diet on vacation as well as at home. Guests can find the perfect workout or a new favorite sport with the aid of professional trainers. Regeneration and mental strength are just as important for a simple sense of well-being and the right balance. Mental training with experts and an extensive wellness offer provide the required serenity and emotional strength.
