Large Carnival Cruise Ship Receives Artwork
Even though the mega-ship named Aidanova is for Aida Cruises it is the first of a new generation class which will also come to other cruise line fleets including Carnival Cruise Line, Costa Cruises and P&O Cruises.
Aidanova is currently being constructed and the iconic lips artwork on the bow has been completed. The lips are part of the Aida branding found on the hull of all ships in the fleet. Still to come and join the kissing lips are the eyes and eyeliner. The lips cover 250 m² and 50 liters of paint was used with black, orange and red.
The cruise line released some impressive photos of the upcoming new class ship inside the construction hall at Meyer Werft. As seen in the photos below construction is coming along nicely and she is whole with all the blocks now together.
