CRUISE SHIP PHOTO FEATURE
AIDADIVA IN ST. KITTS |
|
|
AIDAdiva is making a port call at the popular Caribbean island of St. Kitts.
The Diva was the lead ship in AIDA's Sphinx class. Although she is relatively small (69,000 gross tons), she has the look and feel of a large resort style cruise ship. She is an unconventional cruise ship. For example, she has no main dining room. Rather, in addition to her specialty restaurants, she has three buffet restaurants. However, these themed-restaurants are not your typical cruise ship buffet restaurants. For one thing, they offer free beer and house wine. Along the same lines, there is no traditional theater. Shows are performed in the atrium. However, the supporting technology would be the envy of many shore-based theaters. Catering to German-speaking cruisers, th Diva endeavors to have a club-like, informal appeal. |

Today, the Diva is berthed at St. Kitts new cruise ship pier at Port Zante, which opened in late 2019. The new pier is next to the original cruise ship pier and connects to the same cruise village shopping area.

Over at St. Kitts' original pier is Royal Caribbean's Anthem of the Seas (left).
Sharing that pier is NCL's Norwegian Epic (below). |

As the sun sets, the other two cruise ships set sail. However, Diva remains at her berth, giving passengers more time ashore.
