AIDAstella is a 2013-built, modified Sphinx-class cruise ship operated by AIDA Cruises. Built by MEYER WERFT in Papenburg, she combines a comparatively compact 253-metre profile with the line’s open, central Theatrium design. The ship has 14 decks, six pools, a 2,600-square-metre spa area and extensive outdoor deck space. Her onboard offering is geared toward informal German-speaking cruising, with buffet and specialty dining, organised activities, family programming and evening shows in the multi-level atrium venue.

Kids and teens are served by dedicated AIDA hosts, with organised age-appropriate activities and family programming. A gaming centre for the teen club was added during the 2018 refit.
The Body & Soul Organic Spa includes a whirlpool, experience showers and relaxation area, alongside massage and cosmetic treatments. Fitness options include gym equipment, a jogging course, yoga and personal training.
AIDA identifies AIDAstella as offering largely accessible ocean-view and inside cabin options. Guests should note that AIDA says not every part of the wellness area is accessible.
MEYER WERFT states that the ship was built with flow-optimised propellers, a low-friction underwater coating, energy-saving water systems and recovery of onboard waste heat. The 2018 refit also introduced energy-efficient LED lighting in public areas.
