AIDAdiva deck plans

ms AIDAdiva (2007-built, last refurbished in 2022 May, scheduled AIDA Evolution refurbishment in 2025 February-March) is the first of the SPHINX-class AIDA Cruises ships - together with AIDAbella and AIDAluna. The shipowner is Costa Cruises (Carnival Corporation-owned company), and the ship's operator is the German company AIDA Kreuzfahrten.

AIDAdiva cruise ship deck plan shows a total of 1025 cabins for 2050 passengers (max occupancy is 2500) served by 590 crew/staff. The boat has 13 decks (11 passenger-accessible, 6 with cabins), 7 restaurants, 11 bars and lounges, 3 swimming pools, 4 Jacuzzies/outdoor hot tubs, 10 elevators.

Complimentary dining options (included in AIDAdiva cruise prices) are Markt, Weite Welt, Pizzeria Mare, and Bella Vista. At additional charge (reservation-only) are Rossini, Buffalo, and the Sushi Bar. In the 3 buffet restaurants on the AIDAdiva ship (Markt, Weite Welt, Bella Vista), wine and beer are complimentary for lunch and dinner.

Besides the ship's staff and crew, AIDA cruise passengers are also served by Peper robots - the latest cyborg technology implemented fleetwide in 2016. These humanoid robots greet and guide passengers upon embarkation. They also assist them throughout the cruise by providing information and tips on onboard dining, entertainment, enrichment program (workshops, pre-scheduled events), casino and shopping promotions, shore excursions and tours. Pepper robots are mobile and communicate in 3 languages (English, German, Italian). They can also interpret human emotions by analyzing voice tones and facial expressions.
