In brief
AIDAluna is a Sphinx-class cruise ship, owned by the United States-based Carnival Corp and operated by AIDA Cruises. Built by Meyer Werft shipyards at Papenburg, Germany, she is the third ship of the class, preceded by AIDAdiva and AIDAbella, and is followed by AIDAblu, AIDAsol, and AIDAmar. The ship has a capacity of 2,100 passengers and is assessed at 69,203 gross tonnage (GT). AIDAluna initially deployed in the Baltic Sea for the 2009 Summer season. In Winter 2009, she redeployed to the Canary Islands. AIDAluna has an 8-by-4.5-metre (26 ft × 15 ft) poolside theater, which is a first for AIDA Cruises.

In context
Every figure in this section is a count, a rank or a percentile over vessels actually held in this registry — not over the world fleet, which is larger. Nothing here is estimated.
At 69,203 gross tons, AIDAluna is the 6,649th largest of the 84,014 vessels in this registry that report a tonnage. The median across that set is 5,994 GT, so this hull is about 12 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 665 cruise ships held here, it ranks 200th by tonnage — larger than 60% of that group. Their median tonnage is 43,009 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 143,289 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is The Bahamas (133 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Fincantieri, with 112 hulls on record.
Italy is the country of registry for 918 vessels in this directory, of which AIDAluna is the 47th largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (488 ships), and the median vessel measures 4,975 GT. Browse every ship flagged Italy.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 33 cruise ships flying the Italy flag, of which 19 are larger by tonnage.
AIDAluna was built in 2009, making it 17 years old. It is one of 2,834 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 11,673 GT; within it this ship is the 301st largest. Across the whole of the 2000s the registry holds 18,605 vessels, median 9,957 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.
The registry attributes 160 vessels to Meyer Werft, with a median tonnage of 16,324 GT, delivered between 1902 and 2025. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 251.9 m overall, AIDAluna is 53.8 m longer than the 198.1 m median for cruise ships on record, with a beam of 32.2 m and a draft of 7.2 m.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9334868 this registry holds 66 other vessels, whose median build year is 2007 and which range from 2004 to 2011. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2009.
Its IMO number, 9334868, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 3×6 + 3×5 + 4×4 + 8×3 + 6×2 = 148 — and the last digit of that total, 8, must equal the seventh digit, 8. It does, so this number is well formed.
