The lighting design for the AIDAnova cruise ship is a prime example of innovative cruise ship lighting design, emphasizing sustainability, energy efficiency, and enhancing the passenger experience. As the first liquefied natural gas (LNG)-powered cruise ship, AIDAnova features lighting that not only conserves energy but also complements the ship’s architecture, creating the perfect ambiance in various areas. Each space, whether it’s the restaurants, bars, or wellness areas, benefits from carefully designed lighting that balances functionality and atmosphere. This approach highlights key architectural features, ensuring both safety and aesthetic appeal, setting a new benchmark for cruise ship lighting.

The ship is home to 17 restaurants, 18 bars and clubs, 6 pools, a 3,500 m² wellness area, and a 1,000 m² shopping center.
