AIDAcosma: Discover the Flagship of the AIDA Fleet
You stand at the pier, facing a floating giant - made of glass, steel and light. 337 meters long. Space for over 6,600 guests. A floating hotel that looks like a modern resort, but is moving. The AIDAcosma is not a ship like any other. It’s not just a ship - it’s a bold statement on the sea.

It follows the AIDAnova, the world's first LNG cruise ship. But where the Nova already set standards, the Cosma goes a step further. It combines technology with experience, spaciousness with structure, vacation with wow.
As soon as you step inside, you sense that something is different here. No narrow corridor, no dark reception. Instead, you enter a soaring atrium – open, airy, full of light and sound. Three decks high, surrounded by glass fronts, LED walls, light, and air. Music floats through the space, excited voices sound, children laugh somewhere. And you? You stop for a moment. Because the moment is big. The AIDAcosma truly lives up to its name. It is cosmic in its size, its diversity, its ambition. And it immediately shows you: Here begins more than just a journey. Here begins an experience you can't compare – only experience.
How AIDAcosma Flows From Morning to Night
You step out of your cabin into what feels like a vibrant city at sea. The AIDAcosma has 20 decks. And each one is alive. Some decks buzz with energy, others invite you to pause and breathe. Some full of energy, others perfect for taking a deep breath.
Decks 6 to 8 are the heart of the ship. This is where life pulsates. You'll find the Theatrium with its 360° stage. By day, it's a venue for workshops, talks, and music – and by night, a stage for spectacular shows. Right next door: bars, cafés, and small bistros. The smell of coffee, croissants, and sometimes even currywurst fills the air.
A few decks higher, on deck 16, the outdoor area begins. Infinity pool, loungers, bar – with unobstructed views of the sea. Up here, you can feel everyday life slowly dissolving. One step further: the climbing garden. Next to it, the sports deck with a jogging track, volleyball court, and fitness classes. And if you just want to look around? Then lean on the railing and watch the ship slice almost silently through the sea.
Right at the top: the Zen Lounge. Almost no one speaks here. Only the sound of the sea, perhaps a gentle gong. Soft lighting, dimmed colors, space to let go. Despite the size, you won't get lost. The paths are cleverly planned. Wide aisles, clear signage, a well-thought-out color scheme. You intuitively know where you are and always find what you're looking for.
Your Private Retreat at Sea: Cabins on AIDAcosma
You close the door behind you. And suddenly it becomes quiet. No hustle and bustle, no babble. Just you, your space, and the view of the water. This is what arriving feels like - in your cabin on the AIDAcosma.
Inside cabin, outside cabin, balcony cabin, veranda deluxe, or suite - the choice is yours. Each category has its own character. The inside cabins are minimalist, cleverly designed, perfect for those who see the ship as an experience and the cabin for sleeping. The outside cabins give you direct daylight in the morning, before you've even fully opened your eyes. And in the balcony cabins? That's your first step out onto the sea. Fresh air, a wide view, complete privacy.
Especially popular: the veranda deluxe cabins in the bow area. The reason? More space, more peace, less foot traffic. Those who stay here are often the first to experience the sunrise - all alone, with a cup of coffee in hand. And then there are the suites. Spacious, elegant, with extras like lounge access, a separate bedroom, and sometimes even a whirlpool. For those who want to live on the ship like they're in a design hotel.
What's striking: Each cabin is well-designed. Clean lines, bright colors, plenty of storage space. The beds are mostly by the window, so you can see the sea even while lying down. Lighting concepts adapt to your mood. Sometimes cool and awake, sometimes warm and soothing. You lie down. The ship barely rocks. And yet you feel like you're on the water. You fall asleep – feeling like you're in exactly the right place.

A Dining Experience Like No Other
You step through the door and suddenly you're somewhere else. The lights flicker. A metallic whirring. Voices that don't seem to be from here. Welcome to the Time Machine Restaurant. A place that has nothing to do with a traditional dinner and is therefore so unforgettable.
The walls move. The room breathes. You're not just sitting at a table; you're part of an experiment. The crew? Real characters. Between steampunk and the future. Sometimes they whisper secret instructions to you, sometimes they disappear through a wall. Then the menu begins. Course by course, you're transported through time. Not via a slideshow, but with light, sound, and projections. Suddenly you're sitting in the year 2200, then you travel back to a retro future, somewhere between Jules Verne and science fiction. The food adapts. Colors, shapes, temperatures—nothing is normal here. The soup steams blue. The dessert glows. You don't know what's coming, but you want to know.
The technology is spectacular, but never an end in itself. Everything is coordinated. The space reacts to what's happening. Music, projections, effects, and yet the food remains the star. Creative, high-quality, surprising. No overloaded plates, but targeted stimuli. Tastes that linger.
At the end of this evening, you haven't just eaten. You've been on the move. You've marveled, laughed, maybe even forgotten you're on a ship. The Time Machine isn't a gimmick; it's a dining experience on a level you didn't expect. And when the door opens again, you need a moment to remember: Ah yes—you're on the AIDAcosma. 6. Pools, sea, and panoramic views - The most beautiful outdoor spots:
- Ocean Deck with infinity pool, sun decks, outdoor bars
- The Beach Club: glass roof, music, weather independence
- Water experience for everyone - even families
AIDAcosma’s Green Technology
You stand at the bow. The wind caresses your face, the ship glides silently through the water. No rumbling, no drone. Just a gentle hum, almost like a soothing heartbeat. AIDAcosma sails differently - you'll notice it immediately. The reason lies deep in the belly of the ship: LNG. Liquefied natural gas. It replaces conventional fuel and ensures that the ship runs cleaner. Less CO₂, almost no sulfur, hardly any particulate matter. You don't see it. But you feel it. The air is clearer. There's no smoke. The sea quietly thanks you.
But technology continues. Behind every wall, beneath every floor, systems run that keep the ship running while simultaneously saving energy. Air conditioning systems react intelligently to outside temperatures. Lights turn off when no one is in the room. Heat recovery uses every kilowatt-hour twice. Nothing goes to waste, nothing is left to chance.
Even water isn't simply consumed here. It's treated, purified, and recirculated. Every drop counts – and is treated on the ship as if it were precious. Recycling doesn't run silently in the background, but visibly. Waste separation is standard. Leftovers are sorted, processed, and, where possible, even reused. All of this happens without you noticing. You shower, eat, dance – and the ship thinks along with you. Not preachy, not loud. But efficient, well-thought-out, and future-oriented. AIDAcosma is one of the most modern ships in Europe. Not because it boasts about it. But because you feel it, without anyone having to explain it to you.
Recharge with Ocean Views
You open the door to the Body & Soul Spa, and everything slows down. The air is warm, filled with delicate scents. No music, no chatter. Just silence. Or the gentle murmur of the jets in the whirlpool. You lie back, gaze out at the sea through the glass front. And feel everything inside you relax.
The AIDAcosma hasn't simply made the spa area bigger, but smarter. Various saunas. Screened relaxation areas. Treatment rooms with a view of the water. Everything is there. But never intrusive. You find your own rhythm. You decide when to unwind. And then: exercise. No peer pressure. No announcements. Just you, the deck—and the horizon. The jogging track leads you around the ship. You run, the wind accompanies you. The expanse in front, the trail of the sea behind. It doesn't feel like exercise. More like freedom.
Want more? Then the gym awaits. Modern, with panoramic views. Or you can swing into the climbing garden. Feel your hands on the rope, your body in balance. Those who like it can take classes. Yoga, functional, dance. Everything is possible. Nothing is mandatory. The concept is clear: exercise when you want. Relaxation when you need it. No trainers pushing you. No competition. No noise. Just inviting spaces. And a ship that shows you: being active can also be easy.
Entertainment on AIDAcosma
You step into the Theatrium and the space captivates you. Not dark, not isolated. Open, bright, in the middle of the ship. The stage: round, in the center. The LED wall behind it: a vibrant window into other worlds. You don't need a curtain. You just need a seat, perhaps with a drink in your hand. And then the show begins.
Artistry, singing, dancing. But not detached, not overproduced. Direct, close, lively. You laugh, marvel, lean back. And realize: You're not a spectator, you're part of it.
The evening continues. Perhaps to the Rock Box Bar. Wood, leather, a guitar riff that immediately captivates you. Or you head to the Vinothek. Quieter. More sophisticated. A glass in hand, music in the background. Next door is the French Kiss – a bit of a French bistro, a bit of a living room. Live music everywhere. But never loud. Always just right.
Later, things get more colorful. The Silent Disco begins. You put on your headphones. Choose your channel. And dance to your own beat. Others beside you, each in their own world. And yet all together.
Or you end up in the karaoke lounge. The lights flash. Voices tremble. But no one laughs. Because what counts here isn't perfection, but courage. And fun. And that's exactly what makes the difference. AIDAcosma shows you: Entertainment doesn't have to scream. It can surprise. Touch. Or simply make the evening perfect.

Who is the AIDAcosma made for?
Families start their adventures on deck. Water slides shoot through the sunlight, children climb over nets, and romp through colorful rooms in the Kids Club. And you? Take a break. Perhaps in the Beach House with a view of the sea. Perhaps in the shade of a sun deck, completely without noise.
Couples seek other paths. No entertainment program, no time pressure. Instead: breakfast on the balcony. An hour in the sauna. A quiet glass of wine in the lounge while soft music plays. No need to talk here – a glance is enough.
Active guests begin the day at dawn. Yoga with a view of the sea. Then a run on the jogging track. Later: equipment in the gym or a class with an instructor. Those looking for a more relaxed experience can get a massage in the spa. Or float in the infinity pool, without a destination, but with a view.
Solo travelers rediscover freedom. You don't have to do anything. But you can do everything. Observe. Chat. Withdraw. The AIDAcosma offers you both: peaceful retreats and profound encounters. No one is left alone – unless they choose to.
And those who appreciate that little something extra will find it: with a Panorama Suite. You can't get a more expansive view.
