US owner Carnival has ordered another new cruiseship for its AIDA Cruises operation in Germany.

The third new ship for AIDA will help meet "accelerating demand for cruise vacations," it said.

The 180,000-gt LNG-powered vessel will be delivered in 2023 from Germany's Meyer Werft in Papenburg. No price has been revealed.

AIDA will take delivery of its first new eco-ship, AIDAnova, from the yard in December.
