About AIDAbella
AIDAbella is a 2008-built AIDA Cruises ship from MEYER WERFT’s original Sphinx Class. The 2,050-guest vessel combines an open central Theatrium with a substantial sun-deck and spa focus. It underwent a seven-week AIDA Evolution modernization in Marseille in early 2026, adding refreshed accommodations, expanded dining and bar options, revised public spaces, and new family activity areas. It is a mid-sized choice for travelers seeking a German-market cruise experience with numerous onboard venues without the scale of AIDA’s newest ships.
