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.

Exterior Lighting

Client: Hines
Completion year: 2018

Underlining selected architectural elements of base, body and crown is the fundamental premise of the exterior lighting design. At the base of the building, long, organic lines running in the underside of the projecting 2nd floor are turned into a distinctive feature light element. In fact, these lines and their profiles have become a local visual reference and also part of the logo of this project. The façade of the 2nd floor consists of a series of windows. As a subtle element, only the windowsills are accentuated.

The one-story precast concrete façade elements of the upper floors are emphasized by mini uplights. These follow the rhythm of the architectural design and underline the dynamic nature of all 3 facades. Lastly, the crown is softly illuminated from below.
