AIDAVITA in Lisbon

What a strange world we have now with stupid globalization that gives an Italian flag and registration to a very German passenger and cruise ship: the AIDAVITA is a German cruise product from bow to stern: she was built in Germany, looks German and caters very successfully for the growing German cruise market.
