Stockholm shore power becomes operational with arrival of AIDAdiva

It took two years to develop and build the system, which AIDA Cruises helped to drive as a project partner.

AIDAdiva served as the first cruise vessel to make a test call on May 30. 

Dirk Inger, SVP public affairs, communication & sustainability at AIDA Cruises, said, ‘...With our shipboard investments in this technology, we are actively supporting the European Union's goals to build a shore-side power infrastructure in ports of the Trans-European Transport Network by 2030.’ 

Baltic Sea 

In April 2022, AIDA Cruises signed a declaration of intent with Cruise Baltic to use shore power in the ports of the Baltic Sea region. Shore power has been available in Rostock-Warnemünde and Kiel since 2021, in ports in Norway and the UK since 2022 and in Denmark since 2023. 

Since 2024, all AIDA ships departing on cruises from German ports can be supplied with shore power.
