After, singer Johannes Oerding entertained the 1,000 guests on board with his hits.
Charity event for FLY & HELP
Another highlight of the christening evening aboard AIDAmira was the charity event for AIDA Cruise & Help. The event was hosted by Mary Amiri.
Auctions included an original Rizzi, exclusive experiences with the other star guests on board such as a market tour with star chef Stefan Marquard, who also created the christening menu, as well as a bottle of champagne signed by the evening’s star guests.
AIDA President Felix Eichhorn was handed over a check for €78,500 to Reiner Meutsch and his foundation FLY & HELP at the end of the evening.
‘I would like to thank all our guests and partners who helped us with our project that we take closely to heart, the construction of schools in developing and emerging countries,’ said Eichhorn. Proceeds will go to a school being built in Namibia. This is the seventh school built by AIDA Cruise & Help in cooperation with the Reiner Meutsch Foundation.

The vessel is the former 1999-built Costa neoRiviera.
