Timeline

1 October 2004 Contract signed between Meyer Werft and AIDA Cruses for two new "Project

Sphinx" cruise ships, to be completed in 2007 and 2009, respectively.  Two

years of intense negotiations beginning in autumn 2002 ended with Meyer

Werft as the prime choice, despite fierce competition from Italy, France, and

Finland to get one of the few post-9/11 newbuilding contracts.  Also of note

is that this design is unique to just one brand, something which cannot be

said for any other Carnival Corporation newbuild design of the 2000s.

26 May 2005 Keel laid for Meyer Werft newbuilding 659.

2 March 2007 S.659 is floated out of the covered building dock and to the fitting out berth.  In

all, she was fitted with 200 tons of paint, 1700km of cables, 36000 light

bulbs, and 27500m2 of carpeting.

16 April 2007 AIDAdiva is completed by Meyer Werft.  The spa on deck 12 forward is

reminiscent of deck 12 forward on Disney Magic and Disney Wonder.  The

total cost of the finished ship is US $390 million.

20 April 2007 Named officially by Maria Galleski in Hamburg, Germany, during the AIDAdays

celebration.
