Challenge

Check-in queues don’t make the guests happy

Delivering a top-notch guest experience is at the heart of AIDA Cruises’ mission.
But before the vacation even begins, every guest must go through embarkation — a process often slowed down by delays and long queues.

The problem becomes even worse when check-in hardware or networks fail — a common risk when infrastructure has to be set up from scratch at almost every terminal.


Solution

Time for a mobile revolution

We radically reimagined the check-in process with a dedicated mobile application that empowers crews to identify passengers and complete embarkation steps anywhere in the terminal — or even during transfers.

  • Automated data entry speeds up the process and reduces errors.
  • Minimal setup significantly shortens the time needed to prepare for embarkation.
  • Scheduled check-in times help distribute passenger flow, ensuring smooth operations and making long queues a thing of the past.

  • Technology stack
