AIDAPRIMA against its type
Built in 2016, it is 6 years newer than the median cruise ship on this register, which was built in 2010 (195 vessels with a known build year). At 125,000 gross tonnage it is larger than 80% of the other 177 cruise ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 19 cruise ships here under the Italy flag, 9.4% of the 202 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 38 other vessels here. AIDA Cruises is linked to 13 vessels on this register. The reported port of registry changed: Genova (2018–2022), then Genoa (2023–2025).
Its 53,739 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 1.7 times the median of 31,269 t among the 200 cruise ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 964.6 kg CO₂, 17% above the type median of 821.3 kg. It logged 4,336 hours at sea against a median of 3,133 hours for its type that year. 16.2% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for cruise ships was 15.1%. Across 7 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2023 (70,044 t) and the lowest 2019 (46,292 t). Of the 8 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 1 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 1.3% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2020, so the series has gaps.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 3.5% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 1.5%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
