thumb|left|''AIDAmar'' at Tenerife in 2021 On 1 April 2012 ''AIDAmar'' was floated to Meyer Werft in Papenburg. ''AIDAmar'' is fifth in a series of six ships ordered by the German company AIDA Cruises, the ship measuring {{convert|252|m|ftin}} long and {{cvt|32.2|m|ftin}} wide. Displaying a gauge 71,300 tons, it has 1,096 cabins. Facilities included are an additional deck, an onboard brewery and a {{cvt|2300|m2}} spa facility. The ''AIDAmar'' is a sister ship of ''AIDAblu'' and ''AIDAsol'', delivered in 2010 and 2011 respectively. These ships are slightly larger than the first three series units, ''AIDAdiva'', ''AIDAbella'' and ''AIDAluna'' (68,500 tons, 1,025 cabins), completed in 2007, 2008 and 2009 by Meyer Werft. After leaving the hall building covered in Papenburg, ''AIDAmar'' went down the Ems River in mid-April to reach the North Sea and to conduct its tests before its release in May of the same year. The last ship of the class, the ''AIDAstella'', was delivered by Meyer Werft in late 2013.<ref name="AIDAmar">{{cite web |url=http://www.meretmarine.com/article.cfm?id=119187 |title=Meyer Werft lancera le paquebot AIDAmar le 1er avril |website=www.meretmarine.com |access-date=28 March 2012 |archive-date=30 March 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120330122211/http://www.meretmarine.com/article.cfm?id=119187 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
