Port call cancelled due to medical emergency
Two days after the 'Aidamar' set off from Antigua to cross the Atlantic on March 24, 2024, the ship had to turn back towards the Caribbean due to a medical emergency on board. On March 27 at around 2 p.m. the ship reached a position near the island of Tortola (British Virgin Islands) and was within helicopter range, so that the patient could be hoisted for medical care ashore. A short time after the patient was taken off, the 'AIDAmar' resumed heading east towards the Azores. Due to the medical emergency she was now around two days late. The next destination was now scheduled to be Ponta Delgada on the island of Saõ Miguel on April 1. At the same time, however, this meant that the stay in Praia da Victoria of Terceira on March 31 had to be cancelled. After arriving in Ponta Delgada, the AIDAmar will return to its original itinerary.
