GEZE on board the AIDAdiva: State-of-the-art door systems for the luxury ship
As the first AIDA Cruises club ship, the AIDAdiva combines state-of-the-art technology and convenient equipment on the high seas. GEZE supplied tailor-made door and security solutions which underpin the AIDAdiva's high standards of comfort, functionality and safety.
Door convenience on the high seas
AIDA Cruises launched the AIDAdiva on 20 April 2007 amid spectacular celebrations. The first of four club ships from the internationally renowned cruise company is characterised by, amongst other things, the high number of outdoor cabins with their own balcony, and the state-of-the-art stage and entertainment technology on board. GEZE is supporting comfort on the high seas with tailor-made door and sliding wall systems.
Functional door closers - perfect for every environment
Sliding door system on the deck of the AIDAdiva
Elegant automatic sliding doors have been installed in several areas of the ship. Sliding door systems such as the GEZE VTM 300 or the GEZE Slimdrive VTM are perfectly designed for heavily frequented areas and offer safe, accessible convenience, even when the ship is experiencing extreme motion. Various curved sliding doors and telescopic doors complement the extraordinary architectural design on board the AIDAdiva.
Other GEZE products used on the AIDAdiva fit almost invisibly into the surroundings - such as the GEZE Boxer door closer integrated completely into the door leaf, with a guide rail that can be seen only when the door is open.
Other GEZE door closers such as the TS 2000, TS 4000, TS 5000 and TS 4000 Tandem guarantee high and lasting convenience on board. Passengers come across the innovative technology when opening cabin doors and windows, in the restaurants, bars and while taking daily walks on the decks.
The AIDAdiva offers her passengers a wide variety of culinary specialities and first-class entertainment over 13 decks. Versatile door and sliding wall systems by GEZE were also required for the seven restaurants and 11 bars, in the fitness and wellness area and the casino.
Flexible surfaces thanks to manual sliding wall system
Deck of the AIDAdiva with sliding wall system
An elliptical running manual sliding wall system (MSW) provides flexible user convenience in the pool/bar area. The glass panel sliding wall system runs round the DJ’s desk on the upper deck. This allows the entire area to be closed manually with little effort, or opened wide as required.
A dazzling curtain of sliding elements, visually reminiscent of surfboards, snakes its way around the pool bar itself. Mounted on an MSW track, the elements can be moved lightly and flexibly, while the track's corrosion protection in particular is crucial for use on the high seas.
A high-profile collaboration: AIDAdiva and GEZE
The AIDAdiva is a further addition to the world-renowned AIDA Cruises cruise ship fleet. Like its predecessors AIDAcara, AIDAvita and AIDAaura, the AIDAdiva was also built at the Meyer shipyard in Papenburg. Founded in 1795, and now in its seventh generation of family ownership, the dockyard –represents top-class quality and discerning design. It’s the perfect fit with GEZE solutions, which meet the same expectations.
