The newest cruise liner AIDAprima

Remains less than 20 days before departure for the first cruise of the newest liner AIDAprima. After commissioning, this vessel will mark the emergence of new-generation ocean liners and set new standards in the field of the environment.

The baptism of the cruise liner is scheduled for April 25, 2016, after which the ocean vessel will perform an exploratory four-day flight from Hamburg to Southampton. According to the already famous maritime tradition, the godmother of the cruise liner will be the 13-year-old German actress Emma Schweiger. A young lady is known to us from the films «Rabbit Without Ears» and «Rabbit Without Ears 2».

The AIDAprima liner arrived in European Hamburg on March 14, 2016 from the Japanese port of Nagasaki, where the main ship was built at the MITSUBISHI HEAVY INDUSTRIES shipyard. In the port of Hamburg, a passenger ship was handed over to the owner — the German company AIDA Cruises, a subsidiary of Carnival Corporation & amp; PLC.

The AIDAprima liner worth $ 645 million is designed to carry out cruise programs for the famous Asian (Dubai, Abu Dhabi) and Western European ports (Hamburg, Rotterdam).

What's new in the AIDAprima cruise liner?

Cruise ship AIDAprima will become the largest ship in the company AIDA Cruises, as well as the first vessel built in Japan. The cruise liner differs from other ships of the fleet «AIDA Cruise» with great space, variety and individuality. AIDAprima will become one of the most technologically advanced ships on the planet, and the use of innovative technologies will provide the owner with maximum efficiency.

A novelty of the technological progress of the modern generation of Hyperion class airliners will be the Mitsubishi Air Lubrication System (MALS), patented by Mitsubishi. This system will reduce the frictional resistance of the ship, by sliding through an air film consisting of air bubbles. Thus, this method will reduce fuel consumption by approximately 7 percent and save energy costs of the power plant.

As part of environmental protection on new ships, AIDA Cruise will use two types of engine fuel, and has applied a unique exhaust gas filtration system that can detect all particles of soot, nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides.
