Revell Cruise Ship Aida 1/200 Scale

Revell of Germany has produced a hefty number of fine kits for comparatively little money during the last years. This kit is no exception. Despite the tiny format, you get a considerable amount of detail, top class decals and the kit itself is very cleverly engineered.

The CS AIDA is the first cruiseship of a new marketing concept targeted mainly at younger guests. Outwardly recognizable by the big smiling mouth and eyes, the whole concept is directed at youth, fun and feeling well. CS stands for Club ship, suggesting that you´re aboard a swimming holiday club. The website at www.aida.de shows this approach very well.

The AIDA was built at Turku in Finland in 1996; meanwhile the success of the concept has brought the commissioning and launching of two sister ships, so she has been renamed to AIDAcara (the sister ships are named AIDAvita and AIDAaura) . The ship is 193 m long and houses 1186 passengers, cared for by a crew of 370.
