All three of Aida Cruises’ vessels scheduled to visit Southampton this year have been commissioned for shore power at the port.

AIDAcosma, AIDAprima and now AIDAsol have all undergone successful commissioning by the Port of Southampton. This means when they return to the port, they are able to plug in at the Horizon Cruise Terminal or Mayflower Cruise Terminal.

Rebekah Keeler, head of cruise at ABP, said it was "fantastic" to facilitate the "sustainability milestone" for Aida Cruises. "To commission three of its ships in such close succession shows real commitment from Aida Cruises whilst also demonstrating the efficiency of the shore power process at Southampton," she added.

"We are looking forward to welcoming back AIDAprima and AIDAsol throughout the summer."
