AIDAbella is a cruise ship that is operated by AIDA Cruises. Built at Meyer Werft shipyard in Papenburg, Germany, she is a sister ship to AIDAdiva and AIDAluna. The ship has a passenger capacity of over 2,050.[1] The name AIDAbella was chosen after a competition to name the new ship. The name was meant to signify how beautiful the ship is.

Features

The ship features 1,025 passenger cabins, many with balconies. There is a nude sunbathing area towards the rear of the ship. The focal point of the ship is a circular, glass walled and roofed Theatrium in the centre of the ship which can be used as a nightclub.[1]
