Carnvial has ordered 3 new ships for two of its subsidiary companies, all of which are larger than the current ships operating for the lines. Two ships have been ordered for AIDA cruises to be delivered March 2015 and March 2016. The ships will both be 125,000 tons with 3,250 passengers. AIDA is a British-owned, German cruise line which currently operates 8 ships and has orders for 2 more, which will be delivered in 2012 and 2013. AIDA offers itineraries in Europe as well as the Amazon, North America, southeast Asia and transatlantic crossings. The largest current ship is 71,000 tons.
The other order is a 132,500 vessel for Costa with a capacity of 3,700 passengers. It will be delivered in October 2014, and is expected to replace older Costa vessels, which have been sold. Costa is the Italian subsidiary of Carnival Corp. with sailings around Europe, with a few in the Caribbean. The 114,500 Costa Favolosa was just introduced to the line, and is part of a continued expansion of the line.
