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.

Dining
AIDA lists 10 restaurants and 13 bars/cafés. Named venues include the French Kiss Restaurant, the buffet-style Yachtclub Restaurant, and Rossini Restaurant & Lounge.
Entertainment
The open central Theatrium is used for onboard shows and concerts. The modernization program also renewed its seating and interior design.
Staterooms & suites
AIDA currently lists 1,039 guest cabins. MEYER WERFT recorded 1,025 passenger cabins at delivery, so the present figure reflects post-modernization inventory.

AIDAbella has a Fun Park on Deck 14 with a climbing tower, slide, and play caves. The 2026 modernization also introduced new activity spaces for families with children.

The ship’s Body & Soul Organic Spa is part of a 2,300 m² spa area. A Hair & Nail Spa provides salon and treatment services.
