The grand finale of the 59th Eurovision Song Contest – abbreviated ESC – will be taking place on May 10, 2014 in Copenhagen. Cruise ship AIDAbella will bring fans of this cult music presentation right to the scene of the event.

Guests will depart Warnemünde for Copenhagen on a voyage lasting from May 9 to the 13th, 2014. Upon arrival, AIDAbella will drop anchor from May 10 through 11 directly within sight of the concert hall where the best participants from 36 countries will compete in the evening for the favor of the viewers. There will also be happenings in the downtown area. As part of the festival, Copenhagen will transform into an all-encompassing Eurovision Village with numerous events for the entire family. Fan celebrations, fan fests, and countless parties create the perfect ESC atmosphere.

As soon as they come on board, guests can get into the spirit of the Eurovision Song Contest. Workshops with professional vocal coaches, an exclusive betting game, and a karaoke evening are just a few of the offerings on the program. On the evening of the finale, there will also be a big live broadcast in the Theatrium on board AIDAbella as well as a rousing after show party.
