AIDAcara (formerly AIDA[1]) is the first cruise ship in the fleet of German cruise company, AIDA Cruises.
History
AIDAcara was built for Deutsche Seetouristik/Arkona Reisen as a Clubschiff (Club Ship),[2] and was launched in 1996 under the name AIDA. When P&O Cruises purchased a controlling stake in Arkona Reisen in 1999, they transferred the ship, and it became part of the new AIDA Cruises fleet, and was named AIDAcara, after two of its sister ships entered operation, AIDAvita and AIDAaura.[1]
In 2005, the vessel underwent refits, which increased the number of cabins.
