AIDA Cruises Announces "Midsummer @ Sea" Event on AIDAperla in 2026
Get ready for an unforgettable voyage as AIDA Cruises unveils its special themed event, the "Midsummer @ Sea" onboard the AIDAperla, sailing from June 20 to June 27, 2026. This one-week cruise sets sail roundtrip from Hamburg, Germany, and offers a unique blend of scenic beauty, cultural immersion, and entertainment tied closely to the Scandinavian midsummer holiday [1][5].
The itinerary takes guests on a journey through the stunning fjord landscapes of Norway, with stops at Bergen, Haugesund, Nordfjordeid, and Ålesund [1][5]. The route is a highlight in itself, but there are several key experiences that make this cruise a distinctive offering within AIDA Cruises’ 2026 summer program.
Scandinavian Cultural Experience
Immerse yourself in Scandinavian midsummer traditions and the natural beauty of Norway’s fjords during the extended daylight of June [1]. The cruise offers a chance to explore historic sites such as Bergen's Bryggen and Fløyen mountain, and Ålesund's Jugendstil-built city, charming houses, restaurants, and Aksla Mountain [1][5].
White Night Celebration
On June 23, AIDA will celebrate the traditional Norwegian midsummer fire festival, known as “Sankt Hans,” with a stylish White Night. Guests will dress in white, wear flower crowns, and enjoy a Nordic buffet featuring Scandinavian specialties such as smörrebröd (open sandwiches), köttbullar (meatballs), and kanelbullar (cinnamon buns) [1].
Musical Performance
The voyage features an exclusive live concert by Samu Haber, the former lead singer of Sunrise Avenue and a judge on “The Voice of Germany,” held in the ship’s Theatrium [1][5]. Samu Haber, a Finnish rock star, has proven his impressive stage presence as a six-time coach on the popular television show. His distinctive voice and explosive energy are sure to captivate audiences under the bright summer sky [1].
Affordable Luxury
The cruise is bookable from 1,070 euros per person for a 2-person occupancy (inside cabin IB) [1]. An additional 150 euro early booking discount is available, but limited quantities are available [1]. After a day at sea, AIDAperla returns to Hamburg after seven varied days [1].
