In brief
AIDAprima is the flagship of AIDA Cruises, built by Mitsubishi Shipbuilding at their shipyard in Nagasaki, Japan. The cruise ship entered service on April 25, 2016, after suffering several construction delays. She is the first AIDA vessel not to be built in Meyer Werft since the completion of AIDAaura in 2003. She is also the first Carnival Corporation & plc vessel to be built in Mitsubishi since the completion of the Sapphire Princess in 2004.

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 125,000 gross tons, Aidaprima is the 2,124th 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 21 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 665 cruise ships held here, it ranks 79th by tonnage — larger than 84% 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 Aidaprima is the 13th 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 5 are larger by tonnage.
Aidaprima was built in 2016, making it 10 years old. It is one of 1,628 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 26,388 GT; within it this ship is the 90th largest. Across the whole of the 2010s the registry holds 20,111 vessels, median 23,456 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.
The registry attributes 117 vessels to Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Nagasaki Shipyard & Machinery, with a median tonnage of 61,321 GT, delivered between 1955 and 2021. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 299.9 m overall, Aidaprima is 101.8 m longer than the 198.1 m median for cruise ships on record, with a beam of 37.6 m and a draft of 8.0 m.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9636955 this registry holds 60 other vessels, whose median build year is 2013 and which range from 2011 to 2018. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2016.
Its IMO number, 9636955, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 6×6 + 3×5 + 6×4 + 9×3 + 5×2 = 175 — and the last digit of that total, 5, must equal the seventh digit, 5. It does, so this number is well formed.
