| For the first time, AIDA Cruises named a ship from aboard. AIDAluna was named Saturday night (April 4, 2009) at Palma de Majorca. The ceremony took place on the ship's bow. Here you can see the naming party on the bow with more than 2,100 guests looking on. | |

| The neck of the champagne bottle was mounted on a plaque and presented to Capt. Lutz Leitzsch who will permanently display it on the ship's bridge. | |
