Aida Cruises said in a statement: “Since we returned to service, more than 7,000 crew members of the Aida family have re-joined our fleet. Additionally, more than 6,000 crew members have been newly hired.

“Just before the pandemic turned the world upside down, we had implemented several improvements for our crew, which couldn’t be fully utilised due to the pause of operation. Today, our crew members can benefit from a reduced and more flexible contract length, free social media packages and additional bandwidth at lower prices.”

In addition, benefits being introduced this year include increased leave for the first-time crew, increased leave days for hotel officers and an increased wage scale for cabin stewards.
