Kreuzfahrt News vom Besten! Ein Flieger flog nach Miami statt nach Frankfurt, Marinediesel statt LNG bei AIDA und vieles mehr!
Benny Henz ist F&B Director und aktuell an Bord von AIDAluna. In dieser Folge spricht er mit Prime Time Show Moderator Thorsten Jost über seine Anfänge bei AIDA und ein großes Jubiläum, das für ihn im kommenden Jahr ansteht. Außerdem gibt er einen Einblick in die Vorbereitungszeit für Weihnachten an Bord.
In der Nacht des 9. September 2018 werden die Passagier:innen der AIDAluna mehrmals unsanft geweckt. Zuerst heißt es, Daniel Kaiser-Küblböck solle sich umgehend an der Rezeption melden. Was war geschehen? Wenige Stunden später wird die höchste Eskalationsstufe ausgerufen. Eine Durchsage des Kapitäns dringt durch alle Kabinen: Eine Person ist von Bord verschwunden. Es folgt eine groß angelegte Suchaktion. Doch wie hoch sind die Überlebenschancen, wenn eine Person über Bord geht? Wie war die Stimmung auf dem Schiff? Welche Gerüchte wurden verbreitet? Wie ging die Boulevardpresse mit diesem Fall um? Und welche Fragen bleiben offen?
Simona Kahn ist seit 2009 bei AIDA und sie sagt von sich selbst: "Ich kenne jeden Rostfleck auf AIDAluna". Das liegt daran, dass sie (so gut wie) durchgehend auf AIDAluna im Einsatz war - insgesamt 13 Jahre lang. Nun geht es bald für sie in eine neue Position auf einem anderen Schiff. Warum der Wechsel und was es sein wird, das erzählt sie in dieser Folge Prime Time Show Moderator Thorsten Jost. Außerdem erzählt sie welcher Weltstar sie kennt und was sie mit ihm verbindet.
In dieser Folge hat Prime Time Show Moderator Thorsten Jost Kapitäns-Besuch. Kapitän Pedro Ziegler ist aktuell an Bord von AIDAluna und erzählt von der einzigartigen Route durch den Nordatlantik. Er spricht über seine Ausbildung, seine Zeit als Frachterkapitän und wie er zu AIDA kam. Außerdem stellt er seine motorisierte Familie vor.

The Cruise Line has also incorporated several guest favourites including thermal experiences and hot-stone loungers.Industry's First Charcoal Sauna at SeaAs part of the ongoing only-found-on-NCL's Prima Class holiday experiences such as the world's first three-level racetrack at sea and dry drop slides, the Brand will unveil the industry's first charcoal sauna. Derived from Japanese and Korean wellness practices, the charcoal sauna uses a radiant heat system with an outer charcoal layer to reach temperatures between 86-122 degrees Fahrenheit (30-50oC). Guests can recline into relaxation as the sauna helps boost circulation and metabolism while also removing toxins from the body. The sauna also effectively treats muscle stiffness and tension, including relief from backache, headache, and arthritis, by promoting the deep release of connective tissue and muscles. Thermal ExperiencesThe charcoal sauna is just one of eight thermal spa offerings available at the elevated Mandara Spa. Guests can also indulge in a series of blissful experiences such as a salt and steam room, as well as a gambit of Brand-first spa experiences including an Ice Room, Experiential Showers, a Flotation Salt Pool and Infrared Sauna.The Ice Room: After unwinding in the sauna or steam bath, guests can cool off in the refreshing Ice Room. The cold air helps to increase blood circulation, invigorate the respiratory tract, and strengthen the immune system. The Experiential Showers: Multiple water jets and lighting effects help invigorate the body, lower body temperature, and stimulate blood circulation.Floatation Salt Pool: This treatment allows guests to fully relax all of their muscles while floating in warm water. An experience similar to experiencing zero gravity due to the buoyancy of the saltwater, the Floatation Salt Pool is beneficial for easing mental anxiety and muscle tension. Infrared Sauna: Unlike traditional saunas that use conventional heat to warm the air, infrared saunas utilise infrared lamps to directly warm the body — and at lower temperatures than traditional saunas. This promotes relaxation, better sleep, sore muscle and joint relief, improved blood circulation, and detoxification.Royal Caribbean Group and World Wildlife Fund (WWF) Recommit to PartnershipRoyal Caribbean Group, announced its new commitment to the next phase of its ongoing partnership with World Wildlife Fund (WWF) for guidance and counsel in establishing bold environmental goals and sustainable business practices.Royal Caribbean Group first partnered with WWF in 2016. Since then, WWF has advised Royal Caribbean Group to embed sustainability into the core of the company's business and across the industry, promote responsible tourism in priority coastal destinations and help protect the oceans by investing in conservation programs globally.This year, WWF and Royal Caribbean Group will work together to establish sustainability goals across three key areas of Ship, Sea and Shore:Ship — Continuous improvement of operational sustainability, including emissions, marine mammal protection, seafood sourcing, plastics reduction, and food waste.Sea — Investing in ocean health through targeted philanthropy; engaging with a global science-driven agenda and consumer-facing education and fundraising campaigns.Shore — Embedding principles of sustainable development in projects and increasing sustainability and certification of tour operators.Royal Caribbean Group will also continue to provide financial support to WWF's global ocean conservation work through a $5 million philanthropic contribution and collaborate with WWF to build global awareness about ocean conservation issues among Royal Caribbean Group's millions of guests.From ‘Hocus Pocus' to ‘Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo,' Disney Cruise Line Puts a Spell on New Experiences for Halloween on the High SeasFirst-of-its-kind character meet and greet inspired by “Hocus Pocus” awaits guests across the fleetHalloween on the High Seas will return to Disney Cruise Line with more sailings than ever before and new one-of-a-kind experiences for families in September and October 2022.

Jan Swartz, president of Princess Cruises, and Gus Antorcha, president of Holland America Line, spoke to what the positive multidimensional impact the resumption of cruising means to Seattle, the local community and Alaska.Holland America Line will kicked off its Alaska season with Nieuw Amsterdam setting sail, July 24, and Princess Cruises followed with Majestic Princess sailing on July 25. Each line will operate ten cruises sailing out of Seattle through September. This marks the return to cruising and Alaska for both lines, which combined have more than 125 years of experience bringing cruisers to The Great Land. Historically, one in two guests who cruise to Alaska sail on Princess or Holland America.Both cruise lines have been homeporting out of the Port of Seattle for more than 20 years. Operationally, each ship visit directly contributes more than $364,000 to the local economy in provisioning (fuel, food, flowers, piano tuning, supplies), port taxes, and spending during a full season.Princess Cruises is the world's leading international premium cruise line and tour company operating a fleet of 14 modern cruise ships to 380 destinations around the globe. Princess celebrates more than 50 years sailing to Alaska, bringing more guests to the Great Land than any other cruise line. Holland America Line has been exploring the world since 1873 and was the first cruise line to offer adventures to Alaska and the Yukon nearly 75 years ago. Its fleet of premium ships visits more than 400 ports in 98 countries around the world, offering an ideal mid-sized ship experience.Princess Cruises Celebrates 20th Anniversary of Shore Power in JuneauPrincess Cruises made history when the cruise line introduced its revolutionary shore power program and began operations in partnership with the City and Borough of Juneau and Alaska Electric Light and Power Company in the summer of 2001. Now, 20 years later when Princess Cruises vessels arrive at the Franklin Dock, ships continue to “plug in” to local surplus hydroelectric power and turn off the diesel engines, reducing the impact of visible air emissions and the cruise line's carbon footprint in an effort applauded by local government officials and the residents of the capital city.The 20th anniversary milestone was recognized as Majestic Princess made her maiden call to the port of Juneau and commissioned to connect to the Juneau electrical grid. Princess Cruises President Jan Swartz, Majestic Princess Captain Dino Sagani, Alaska Electric Light and Power Company President and General Manager Connie Hulbert and Juneau Mayor Beth Weldon and City Manager Rorie Watt were in attendance.“Shore power in Juneau has been a significant win-win situation, not only for Princess but also for the customers of Alaska Electric Light and Power Company and the residents of the City and Borough of Juneau who have been incredible partners over the last 20 years,” said Jan Swartz, Princess Cruises president. “Our beneficial collaboration has paved the way for the cruise industry to reduce air emissions and allow cruise ships to ‘plug in.'”In addition to this investment, for the past 20 years, every dollar spent by Princess for purchasing electrical energy in Juneau has been credited to a cost of power adjustment, or COPA account. This credit is used to offset any diesel expenses in the next quarter, and any extra funds go back to residents and businesses in Juneau in the form of a rebate on electric bills. To date, this has benefitted the Juneau community by $8.5 million dollars.Each year, Princess ships plug in more than 300 shore power connections. This ground-breaking technology has now grown and is used by various cruise lines in port cities including Seattle (2005), Vancouver (2009), San Diego (2010), San Francisco (2010), Los Angeles (2011), New York (2012) and Halifax (2014), as well as internationally in Shanghai and Kristiansand, Norway, with more and more port cities becoming shore power enabled.The length of time needed to connect a ship to shore power and shut down the vessel's diesel generator is approximately 40 minutes after the ship has been secured at the dock. Once connected, the ship's engines are powered down and the ships relies on the local power system for all ship's services while in port. Holland America Line Takes Delivery of Highly Anticipated New Ship Rotterdam from FincantieriHolland America Line took delivery of Rotterdam today, July 30, 2021, officially making it the 11th ship in the fleet. A handover ceremony took place at Fincantieri's Marghera shipyard in ItalyThe ceremony was attended by the ship's master, Captain Werner Timmers, and Cyril Tatar, Holland America Group's vice president of newbuilding services. Giuseppe Bono, CEO, Fincantieri, and several other executives also attended. Video congratulations were extended by Jan Swartz, president of Holland America Group, and Gus Antorcha, president of Holland America Line.Upon delivery, Rotterdam will remain in non-guest operations until its transatlantic crossing Oct. 20, 2021, from Amsterdam, Netherlands, to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, where it will then begin its maiden season in the Caribbean. Naming details have not been finalized and will be announced at a later date.The third vessel in the Pinnacle Class series and the seventh ship to bear the name for Holland America Line, Rotterdam will carry 2,668 guests and feature highly successful amenities and innovations introduced with her sister ships.Holland America Line's first ship was Rotterdam, which sailed its maiden voyage from the Netherlands to New York on Oct. 15, 1872, and led to the founding of the company on April 18, 1873. Rotterdam II was built in 1878 for British Ship Owners Co. and purchased by Holland America Line in 1886. Rotterdam III came along in 1897 and was with the company until 1906. The fourth Rotterdam joined the fleet in 1908 and also served as a troop carrier when World War I ended. Following the war it made regular cruises from New York to the Mediterranean.Rotterdam V, also known as “The Grande Dame,” set sail in 1959 and began sailing transatlantic crossings with two classes of service. It later converted to a one-class ship in 1969. She sailed with Holland America Line for 38 years until 1997, including several Grand World Voyages, and currently is a hotel and museum in the city of Rotterdam. Rotterdam VI, the most recent to cruise for Holland America Line, was introduced in 1997 as the first ship in the R Class.Rotterdam VII is the 17th ship constructed for the brand by Italian shipyard Fincantieri.Norwegian Cruise Line returns to cruiseNorwegian Cruise Line (NCL), officially commemorated its highly-anticipated cruise comeback on 25 July, 2021 with a double debut: Norwegian Jade was not only the first of its 17-ship fleet to welcome guests after 500 days, she also made NCL history as the first vessel to homeport in Athens (Piraeus).Until November 2021, guests sailing aboard Norwegian Jade's immersive Greek Isles itinerary will wake up in a new destination every day, able to spend eight-to-nine hours exploring some of Greece's most picturesque islands including luxurious Crete, bustling Mykonos, historical Rhodes and the iconic blue and white Santorini.Norwegian Jade is the first ship to recommence voyages as part NCL's larger restart efforts. On 7 August, 2021, Norwegian Encore will be the first ship to return to service from the U.S., when she debuts in Seattle for her inaugural season of Alaska cruises. The fleetwide redeployment will continue in partnership with local governments and are guided by the robust protocols of the Company's Sail Safe health and safety program, which at its cornerstone includes that all crew and guests must be fully vaccinated to embark for voyages through 31 October, 2021. Working with the leading experts of the Sail Safe Global Health and Wellness Council, the robust protocols will regularly be evaluated and modified as needed, making science-based decisions to protect guests, crew and the destinations it visits.MSC Seashore Delivered The Cruise Division of MSC Group has officially taken delivery of its new flagship MSC Seashore – the largest cruise ship to be built in Italy. Sister ship MSC Seascape is currently under construction at the Monfalcone shipyard and is due to come into service in winter 2022.An intimate ceremony was held to mark the occasion as tradition dictates at the Fincantieri shipyard in Monfalcone and was attended in person by MSC Cruises Executive Chairman Pierfrancesco Vago, other members of the Aponte and Aponte-Vago families, Giampiero Massolo and Giuseppe Bono, Chairman and CEO of Fincantieri, as well as representatives from MSC's new builds team along with executives and workers from the shipyard. During the ceremony, which pays tribute to centuries-old maritime traditions, Roberto Olivari, Fincantieri's shipyard director, presented to Giuseppe Galano, Master of MSC Seashore, an ampoule containing the water that first touched the hull when the ship was floated out earlier this year.MSC Seashore will commence her inaugural season in the Mediterranean offering the popular West Mediterranean itinerary calling the Italian ports of Genoa, Naples, for visits also to Pompeii, and Messina in Sicily; Valletta, Malta; Barcelona, Spain and Marseille, France.On 31 October, the ship will depart Genoa for an epic 18-night cruise as the ship repositions to North America. From 20 November the ship will then offer 7-night cruises in the Caribbean calling San Juan in Puerto Rico, Charlotte Amalie in St Thomas, Puerto Plata in the Dominican Republic and then Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve in The Bahamas – MSC Cruises' private island.MSC Seashore Key Specs:Length/beam/height: 339 /41m/76mGross tonnage: 170,400Guests: 5,877 (max capacity for short international voyage)Cabins: 2,270Crew: 1,648Maximum speed: about 22.4 knotsFlagship of MSC Cruises global fleet19th cruise ship to join MSC Cruises' fleeMSC, FINCANTIERI AND SNAM TO PARTNER FOR WORLD'S FIRST OCEANGOING HYDROGEN-POWERED CRUISE SHIPThe Cruise Division of MSC Group, Fincantieri and Snam announced the signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to jointly determine the conditions for the design and construction of what would become the world's first oceangoing hydrogen-powered cruise ship.The owner of the world's third largest cruise brand and part of the leading global shipping and logistics conglomerate MSC Group, one of the world's largest shipbuilding groups and a leading international energy infrastructure operator, have joined forces to initially carry out a study that will assess the feasibility of designing and building the world's first oceangoing cruise ship powered by hydrogen, which would allow zero-emissions operations in certain areas, and the development of the related hydrogen bunkering infrastructure.Green hydrogen can be produced without fossil fuels, using renewable energy to split water in a process called electrolysis and can therefore be emissions-free on a full lifecycle basis. It can be used to generate electrical power through a fuel cell, emitting only water vapor and heat. This type of ‘green' hydrogen holds great potential to contribute to the decarbonisation of the shipping industry, including cruising, whether in its pure form or as a hydrogen-derived fuel.Azamara Quest departs from Glasgow Ahead of the Brand's Return to ServiceAzamara, today announced that Azamara Quest® was the first of its ships to depart from Glasgow's Peel Port (King George V Dock), on the afternoon of July 26th, following thirteen months docked in the Scottish city.For over a year, Glasgow has been a safe haven for three of Azamara's fleet, Azamara Quest®, Azamara Journey® and Azamara Pursuit®, and in this time the ships and crew have enjoyed fantastic support from the local people and the authorities, businesses, including taxi companies, hotel owners and grocery stores.The ship sails for drydock in Cadiz, Spain to finalize preparations ahead of its return to service in August with five back-to-back Greece Country-Intensive® Voyages®; each seven-nights in length and a total of 18-late nights in port, including Santorini, Rhodes and Heraklion, Greece.

The recently ‘revolutionised' Celebrity Equinox's first sailing features a seven-night Western Caribbean itinerary visiting the beautiful ports of St. Maarten and St. Thomas, along with Nassau, Bahamas. This sailing marks eight of the 14 ships within the Celebrity Cruises' fleet returning to sailing in 2021Celebrity Millennium also set sail last week on Friday, 23 July, from Seattle, Washington on a seven-night itinerary exploring the renowned natural beauty of the Last Frontier.

AIDA musste die letzte Nordamerika-Saison nun komplett aufgrund des Corona-Virus stornieren. Das betrifft alle Fahrten mit Kanada und auch USA, insofern entfallen daher auch die Transreisen der Schiffe in die USA. Alle Infos dazu hier im Video.
Am Samstag den 30. November wurde im Hafen von Palma de Mallorca die AIDAmira getauft. Taufpatin war das deutsche Topmodell Franziska Knuppe. Sie taufte bereits 2009 auf Mallorca die AIDAluna. Stargast des Taufabends war Johannes Oerding, der einen wunderbaren Akustik-Set auf dem Pooldeck spielte. Mit seinem Album "Konturen" ist er Nummer 1 in Deutschland. Mit Franziska Knuppe und Johannes Oerding hat Stars at Sea-Gründer Uwe Bahn gesprochen. Die AIDAmira ist das 14. Schiff der AIDA-Flotte und ein Umbau der ehemaligen "Costa neoRiviera". Das zwanzig Jahre alte Kreuzfahrt-Schiff musste am Tag nach der Taufe seine Jungfernfahrt absagen, weil der Umbau noch nicht beendet war. Auch die Anschlussfahrt fällt aus. Nach weiteren Renovierungsarbeiten soll das Schiff im Winter in Südafrika und Namibia eingesetzt werden. Sponsor dieser Episode vom Stars at Sea Podcast ist das Boutique-Hotel "Cort" in Palma de Mallorca. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/Stars-at-sea/message

Neue Comedy auf JOKE FM mit dem Logbuch von Jens Heinrich Claassen. Er fährt mit der AIDAluna von Kiel nach NewYok und meldet sich jeden Tag live vom Schiff mit seinem Logbuch. Das könnt ihr täglich auf JOKE FM in der Kneifidelity von 16-21 Uhr hören. Die Wiederholung gibt es am nächsten Tag im Comedy Brunch mit Bibi von 10-14 Uhr. Wer ist Jens Heinrich Claassen? Jens Heinrich Claassen tourt mit seinen beiden Soloprogrammen „Frauen an den Nerd“ und „13 Zentimeter – aus dem Leben eines durchschnittlichen Mannes“ durch Deutschland. Dabei will er die Menschen auf etwas aufmerksam machen: auf sich selbst. Denn Jens Heinrich Claassen ist ein Nerd. Nicht, weil es gerade cool ist, ein Nerd zu sein, sondern aus tiefstem Herzen. Und er ist der sympathischste Nerd, den man sich vorstellen kann. Er sammelt alte Computer, geht ungern aus dem Haus und hat auch sonst einige Probleme. Cool ist er nicht- im Gegenteil: schon der bloße Gedanke an die Sonne lässt ihn schwitzen. Umso schwieriger ist es für ihn, eine Frau kennen zu lernen. Wie er dies trotzdem anstellt, was er dabei für Erfahrungen macht und wieso er eigentlich eine gute Partie ist, erzählt Jens Heinrich Claassen in seinem vierten Soloprogramm „Frauen an den Nerd“. Tragisch? Bestimmt- aber auch verdammt komisch. Denn Jens Heinrich Claassen wäre nicht Jens Heinrich Claassen, wenn er die ganz Traurigkeit seines Daseins nicht auf urkomische Weise vor seinem Publikum entblößen würde. Er betrachtet es als Therapie- schließlich käme er sonst gar nicht aus dem Haus. Dabei therapiert er sein Publikum gleich mit, denn dies bekommt ordentlich sein Fett weg. Jens Heinrich singt, interagiert, schmeichelt und improvisiert was das Zeug hält. Dabei gleicht kein Abend dem anderen und am Ende hört man die Frauen seufzen „Gott ist der süß“ und die Männer stöhnen „Ich wär so gern wie der“. Zugegeben, sie tun es dem Künstler zuliebe, schließlich soll die Therapie auch was bringen. Jens Heinrich Claassen ist mittlerweile auf den renommiertesten Bühnen im deutschsprachigen Raum zu finden.

Jens Heinrich Claassen tourt mit seinen beiden Soloprogrammen „Frauen an den Nerd“ und „13 Zentimeter – aus dem Leben eines durchschnittlichen Mannes“ durch Deutschland. Dabei will er die Menschen auf etwas aufmerksam machen: auf sich selbst. Denn Jens Heinrich Claassen ist ein Nerd. Nicht, weil es gerade cool ist, ein Nerd zu sein, sondern aus tiefstem Herzen. Und er ist der sympathischste Nerd, den man sich vorstellen kann. Er sammelt alte Computer, geht ungern aus dem Haus und hat auch sonst einige Probleme. Cool ist er nicht- im Gegenteil: schon der bloße Gedanke an die Sonne lässt ihn schwitzen. Umso schwieriger ist es für ihn, eine Frau kennen zu lernen. Wie er dies trotzdem anstellt, was er dabei für Erfahrungen macht und wieso er eigentlich eine gute Partie ist, erzählt Jens Heinrich Claassen in seinem vierten Soloprogramm „Frauen an den Nerd“. Tragisch? Bestimmt- aber auch verdammt komisch. Denn Jens Heinrich Claassen wäre nicht Jens Heinrich Claassen, wenn er die ganz Traurigkeit seines Daseins nicht auf urkomische Weise vor seinem Publikum entblößen würde. Er betrachtet es als Therapie- schließlich käme er sonst gar nicht aus dem Haus. Dabei therapiert er sein Publikum gleich mit, denn dies bekommt ordentlich sein Fett weg. Jens Heinrich singt, interagiert, schmeichelt und improvisiert was das Zeug hält. Dabei gleicht kein Abend dem anderen und am Ende hört man die Frauen seufzen „Gott ist der süß“ und die Männer stöhnen „Ich wär so gern wie der“. Zugegeben, sie tun es dem Künstler zuliebe, schließlich soll die Therapie auch was bringen. Jens Heinrich Claassen ist mittlerweile auf den renommiertesten Bühnen im deutschsprachigen Raum zu finden.
