Passenger swept away by waves and died
A fatal accident occurred on Dec 18 in Baiona, in which an 85-year-old German passenger of the 'AidaMar', which was anchored in the port of Vigo, died. Although the woman was participating in a shore excursion, she was alone at the time of the accident. Her attempt to take photographs in a rocky area near A Concheira beach ended tragically when a huge wave swept her out to sea. A local resident witnessed the scene at 2:35 p.m. and immediately called the Galicia emergency services. Shortly afterward, the waves washed the tourist's lifeless body back to shore; however, all rescue efforts were unsuccessful. An official orange weather warning was in effect for the Galician coastal region. Winds of up to 70 km/h were present, while waves reached a maximum height of seven meters. https://www.farodevigo.es/comarcas/val-minor/2025/12/18/muere-turista-alemana-selfi-baiona-124933592.html
Medevac on first day of transatlantic crossing
During its transatlantic crossing to Europe, the 'AIDAmar' had a medical emergency on board, forcing the ship to change course and head back towards the Caribbean at high speed on the first of six sea days en route from Basseterre to Santa Cruz de Tenerife. The patient could not remain on board until the arrival in Tenerife on Dec 15, so the ship's doctors, in close consultation with the bridge crew, decided on a medical evacuation by helicopter. Once the 'AIDAmar' was within range on Dec 9, the outer decks were closed to allow for a safe transfer to the helicopter. Following the medevac, the 'AIDAmar' resumed its regular course with an ETA at the port of Santa Cruz in Tenerife on Dec 15 at 11:30 a.m. The delay on the first of the six sea days back to Europe should be made up for by a slightly increased speed. Tenerife is the third-to-last stop on the voyage, which then continues via Vigo and Cherbourg in France back to Hamburg shortly before Christmas.
Medevac off El Hierro
On Jan 12, 2025, a 61-year-old woman needed to be medevaced from the 'AIDAmar' after she suffered a lung infection. The ship was sailing 280 kilometers southwest of the island El Hierro at that time. The captain informed Salvamento Marítimo, which in turn notified the Canary Islands' air rescue coordination cente. An HD 21 Super Puma air force helicopter, which is stationed on Gran Canaria, was deployed to tisembark the patient. In addition, a D4 VIGMA aircraft was mobilized to transmit wind data to the helicopter, which hoisted the woman and transported her to hospital for further medical care.
