On 1 April 2012 AIDAmar was floated to Meyer Werft in Papenburg. AIDAmar is fifth in a series of six ships ordered by the German company AIDA Cruises, the ship measuring 252 m long and 32.2 m wide. Displaying a gauge 71,300 tons, it has 1,096 cabins. Facilities included are an additional deck, an onboard brewery and a 2300 m2 spa facility. The AIDAmar is a sister ship of AIDAblu and AIDAsol, delivered in 2010 and 2011 respectively. These ships are slightly larger than the first three series units, AIDAdiva, AIDAbella and AIDAluna (68,500 tons, 1,025 cabins), completed in 2007, 2008 and 2009 by Meyer Werft. After leaving the hall building covered in Papenburg, AIDAmar went down the Ems River in mid-April to reach the North Sea and to conduct its tests before its release in May of the same year. The last ship of the class, the AIDAstella, was delivered by Meyer Werft in late 2013.
