Storm Joshua Forces AIDA to Reroute Ships as AIDAperla Returns to Hamburg Early

AIDA cites DWD storm warnings to prioritize passenger safety.

Overview

  • AIDAperla’s Norway voyage ended a day early after an unscheduled stop in Bergen, with the ship set to reach Hamburg on Friday.
  • Calls at Ålesund and Haugesund were canceled to ensure a smooth guest changeover on Saturday, and guests may spend an extra night on board in port.
  • AIDAprima revised its Metropolenroute by shortening Cherbourg, extending a two‑day stay in Le Havre, and canceling Zeebrugge before its planned Sunday return to Hamburg.
  • AIDA said canceled shore excursions will be refunded and that alternative programs will be offered for the additional time in Hamburg.
  • The German Weather Service issued severe‑weather alerts for Storm Joshua with gusts up to about 130 km/h, and reports noted AIDAnova faced failed departure attempts in Copenhagen with a tug‑assisted try planned.
