Barcelona is on the itinerary for the next day: In the world-famous Las Ramblas, visitors will constantly encounter new galleries, boutiques and cafés. There is an impressive view of the city from Montjuïc mountain – easily reached by cable car. AIDAmira will return to Palma on December 4, 2019.

AIDAmira – the new AIDA Selection ship
AIDA Selection is ideal for cosmopolitan explorers who want to experience countries and their people in an exceptionally intense and unique way. Extraordinary routes, lengthy shore stays, an intimate atmosphere, and real engagement with the given country’s culture are the hallmarks of AIDA Selection cruises.
