Costa Cruises and AIDA Cruises have introduced new travel itineraries and promotional offers. Costa Cruises announced discounts of up to 300 euros per cabin for bookings made by October 27, 2026, covering destinations such as the Western Mediterranean, the Canary Islands, Madeira, and the Caribbean.

AIDA Cruises is expanding its long-distance options for spring 2028, including 18-day voyages connecting the Caribbean, the US East Coast, and Northern Europe. 

In September 2026, AIDA launched its ‘SuperSeptember’ promotion for voyages departing between November 2026 and June 2027. This campaign offers onboard credits of up to 300 EUR per cabin, with the specific amount determined by trip duration: up to 100 EUR for trips up to eight days, 150 EUR for nine to 13 days, 200 EUR for 14 to 21 days, and up to 300 EUR for longer voyages. These credits are applicable to services such as wellness, excursions, and culinary offerings. The promotion also includes a four-week booking competition for travel agencies in Austria, Germany, and Switzerland.

Additionally, AIDA has rebranded its former transoceanic voyages as ‘Auszeitreisen’ (time-out trips). These itineraries, which feature extended periods at sea during regional transitions, include routes through Western Europe, across the Atlantic to Africa, and connections between the Caribbean and Germany. Specific upcoming voyages include the AIDAbella departing Kiel for Barbados in October 2026, and return Atlantic crossings to Northern Europe beginning in March 2027.
