AIDA Cruises is preparing for the resumption of its cruise operation starting
from September 6, 2020

ROSTOCK, Germany, Aug. 10, 2020  -- AIDA Cruises is planning to resume its
cruise operations with the first ships from German ports at the beginning of
September 2020. The prerequisite for this was the approval of the flag state
Italy for the restart concepts.

The first trips from Kiel will start on September 6, 2020. The first cruises
with AIDAperla to the Norwegian fjords start from Hamburg on September 12, 19
and 26, 2020.

In the coming days, AIDA Cruises will review the specific details of this
decision and will work closely with all responsible authorities of the flag
state Italy and the classification society in order to carefully implement the
new protocols and regulations in the sense of a responsible restart on board
the AIDA ships.

As the current development shows, unfortunately not in all European travel
destinations the prerequisites for safe travel are given yet.

Due to the current situation, the company must extend the pause of its cruise
season until September 30, 2020, except for the above-mentioned departures
from Kiel (starting from September 6, 2020) and Hamburg (starting from
September 12, 2020).

To AIDA Cruises it is important to provide all guests with this important
information regarding their vacation. The company very much regrets that the
other voyages cannot take place as planned. All guests whose cruise cannot be
carried out will be informed immediately.

The company publishes detailed information on the current pause of the cruise
season at www.aida.de/reisehinweis.

According to the motto "With certainty the most beautiful vacation", AIDA
Cruises provides transparent and comprehensive information regarding the
expanded measures to protect against COVID-19 at www.aida.de/sichererurlaub.
