AIDA Cruises’ AIDAsol was the first cruise vessel of the year to call at the Port of Leixões, arriving at Porto Cruise Terminal on January 2 from Funchal where she was for the New Year’s celebrations.
The AIDAsol was at the end of a long 43-night voyage across the Caribbean that began on November 25 at its homeport of Hamburg. More than 1.200 passengers were on board, almost all of German nationality.
The 2011-built ship is 253 meters long and it is operated by the prestigious German cruise company Aida Cruises.
This is the first of 143 calls schedule for 2022 for the Port of Leixões and end year numbers are expected to be above 150.000 passengers visiting Porto and North of Portugal Destination.
After an atypical year, if sanitary conditions permit, the Porto Cruise Terminal will have a record-breaking year.
Happy New Year!
