(TAN): AIDA Cruises took delivery of its newest cruise ship, AIDAcosma, in Bremerhaven from the Meyer shipyard in Papenburg, Germany. It is the company’s second newbuilding powered by liquefied natural gas (LNG) – currently the maritime sector’s most advanced technology for reducing emissions, the cruise company said.
AIDA Cruises President Felix Eichhorn said at the ceremony: “With AIDAcosma and her sister ship AIDAnova, two of the most innovative cruise ships in the world belong to our fleet in terms of sustainable cruising as well as the very special guest experience and product diversity.”
