AIDA Cruises starts with Canary Island Cruises on December 5, 2020

ROSTOCK, Germany, Nov. 25, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- AIDA Cruises, the leading
cruise line in Germany and a part of Carnival Corporation
(https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=2993493-1&h=3743823081&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.carnivalcorp.com%2F&a=Carnival+Corporation)
& plc (NYSE/LSE: CCL; NYSE: CUK), today announced that it will offer Canary
Island cruises starting from December 5, 2020.

On December 5, 2020, AIDA Cruises will open their cruise season around the
Canary Islands with AIDAperla, followed by AIDAmar, which will start its
winter season with the Christmas voyage on December 20, 2020. The 7-day
voyages to the islands of eternal spring start on Saturdays or Sundays from
Gran Canaria.

The Spanish government adopted clear regulations for safe travel in the
Canaries in November, which are in line with AIDA's already established
hygiene and prevention measures.  AIDA's health and safety protocols, which
have been audited by SGS Institute Fresenius and confirmed by the
classification society DNV-GL, among others, include measures such as the free
COVID 19 test before the voyage, secure arrival and departure, medical care,
distance regulations and increased disinfection measures on board, as well as
guided shore excursions.

Due to the current situation in the United Arab Emirates, Spain (except
Canaries) and France, AIDA has to adjust the schedule in the Orient and the
Western Mediterranean. All cruises on AIDAstella and AIDAprima that were
planned between December 1, 2020 and January 26, 2021 are cancelled.

Guests whose cruises are cancelled will be informed immediately.

Further information and booking at travel agencies, with the AIDA customer
center at the phone number +49/381-202 707 07, or online at www.aida.de.

Information on the health and hygiene concept
AIDA Cruises offers its guests a high level of security during their vacation.
From the start of the booking process to the travel preparation, embarkation
and disembarkation in the port, the stay on board and medical care: In
addition to the already existing high hygiene and health standards, AIDA
Cruises has developed new health and safety protocols together with national
and international authorities and has implemented a variety of preventive
measures. These were i.a. approved by the classification society DNV-GL and
the flag state of Italy.

Prior to the voyage and while checking in, guests provide information about
their state of health. A COVID-19 PCR test with a negative test result, which
must not be older than three days, is required for the embarkation. Guests
have the opportunity to have the test carried out free of charge at the German
AIDA partner Helios clinics.

Before the check-in, all guests' temperature is being measured contactless
using a thermal scanner. The company provides detailed information about the
AIDA health and safety concept at www.aida.de/sichererurlaub.
