AIDAsol is a Sphinx class cruise ship, built at Meyer Werft for AIDA Cruises.[2] She is the fifth Sphinx series ship, preceded by sisters AIDAdiva, AIDAbella, AIDAluna, and AIDAblu, and followed by AIDAmar. AIDAsol was delivered in March 2010.[2][3][4] She has been competed and is awaiting to be christened on 9 April 2011.[5]

Concept and Construction

AIDAsol was ordered on 13 December 2007, together with her unnamed sister, at Meyer Werft by Carnival Corporation & plc, the parent company of AIDA.[6] It also marked the decision to increase the tonnage and capacity of the then under construction AIDAblu, to 71,000-GT and 2,174 passengers, which makes AIDAsol and AIDAmar her twin sisters in the Sphinx class.[6] The naming ceremony is scheduled on 9 April 2011 in Kiel, Germany.[2][7][8]

AIDAsol will be similarly designed from her latest predecessor, AIDAblu. Facilities included are an additional deck, an onboard brewery and a 2,300-m2 spa facility. AIDAsol will be 252 meters in length and 32 meters wide.[2]
