AIDA Cruises
and Corvus Energy have signed a deal to
retrofit the AIDAperla with a 10MW battery
pack, the largest to date set to be featured
on a cruise vessel, according to a
statement.
"The
integration of innovative battery technology
into our 'Green Cruising' strategy is
another important practical step we are
taking towards an emissions-neutral ship
operation. Corvus Energy is an important
partner in the electrification of our
ships," said AIDA President Felix Eichhorn.
The batteries
can be charged via shorepower and during
regular operations (peak load shaving).
The use of
this technology will further reduce the
consumption of fossil fuel and significantly
increase the efficiency of ship operations,
the company said, in a prepared statement.
The many highlights on board AIDAperla include an all-weather beach club protected by a weather-resistant, UV-permeable foil dome and the Four Elements with water slides and a ropes course. Guests of AIDAperla can choose from 14 different stateroom varieties, including the spacious veranda rooms and the panorama staterooms on the exclusive patio deck.
The award-winning Body & Soul Organic Spa offers various saunas, multiple indoor and outdoor pools, a tepidarium and a fireplace room for perfect relaxation. The lanai deck awaits its guests with infinity pools, glass elevators, two skywalks, state-of-the-art LED technology, airframes for extraordinary performances and an interactive, floating globe for the entertainment program. In addition to the Kids and Teens Club, there is also an onboard Mini Club offering daycare services for children aged 6 months and older.
