For the first time in the history of the cruise company AIDA Cruises, a whole family will christen the newest ship AIDAnova. The Mirza family from Hanau in Hesse was selected from hundreds of applicants by a jury.

On August 31, 2018 Sonja and Asad Mirza with their children Sophia and Adrian will christen the newest ship of the AIDA fleet. 

It is expected that 25,000 spectators will attend the event at the Meyer shipyard in Papenburg, which will include a christening show and a live concert by star DJ David Guetta. And what is more: Sonja and Asad will celebrate their fifth wedding anniversary on the day of the christening.

“It is an indescribably great honor for us to christen AIDAnova. We still can not believe we are the winners of the Christening Family Contest. The christening of AIDAnova will be an unforgettable event for our whole family,“ Sonja said.
