AIDA Launches SuperSeptember Booking Promotion for Guests and Agencies

AIDA has launched its SuperSeptember promotion, running for new bookings made between September 1 and 30, 2026, on selected cruises sailing between November 2026 and June 2027. Guests can earn onboard credit of up to €300 per cabin, scaled by cruise length: up to €100 for cruises of eight days or less, up to €150 for nine to 13 days, up to €200 for 14 to 21 days, and up to €300 for longer sailings. The credit can be applied to spa treatments, excursions, workshops, drinks packages or dining, and is activated by entering the code "SUPERSEPTEMBER" in the myAIDA portal. It covers winter cruises to the Canary Islands, Caribbean, Northern Europe and Mediterranean across several fare types, plus select repositioning cruises. Travel agencies with EXPInet access in Germany, Austria and Switzerland can also join a four-week booking competition for weekly prizes, including cabins on AIDAblu, AIDAcosma and AIDAnova sailings.
💡 What This Means For You

If you're booking an AIDA cruise for winter 2026-27 to the Canary Islands, Caribbean, Northern Europe or Mediterranean, make your reservation between September 1 and 30, 2026, to qualify. Enter the code "SUPERSEPTEMBER" in the myAIDA portal after booking to activate your onboard credit, which ranges from €100 to €300 depending on cruise length. Check that your fare type (Comfort All In, Premium All In, Premium, Classic All In, Classic or Light) is eligible before booking.

📝 Mark's Take

This is a classic shoulder-season push: AIDA is trying to fill November 2026 through June 2027 sailings by dangling onboard credit that scales with trip length, up to €300 for the longest voyages. My read is the tiered structure is designed to nudge undecided bookers toward the pricier, longer itineraries rather than short hops. The agency side is just as telling — a four-week booking contest with prizes like an electric scooter and coffee machine, plus EXPIclub points for attending sales webinars, tells me AIDA is leaning hard on its trade channel in the DACH region to move inventory. Winners in all this are travelers with flexible dates who were already considering a Caribbean or Mediterranean cruise. I'd book early in September, lock in a longer sailing to maximize the credit, and use it toward drinks packages or excursions rather than let it go unused.
