AIDA's christenings are different from most, in that they are open to the public allowing thousands to partake in the celebration. AIDA estimates that approximately 20,0000 people attended last night's event. For the "Fire & Ice" evening, AIDA had constructed a Winter Village at the Fish Market with almost like a street-fair atmosphere that included bands on several stages, and this one had ice-carving and fire-walking demonstrations at several stations (hence the the evening's theme, Fire & Ice). As part of the spectacle, they used the ship as a giant canvas for a light show, as seen above. Throughout the dock area, large LED screens are set up so everyone will have an excellent view of the ceremony. Once the bottle was broken, and the ship was christened, the evening concluded with a huge fireworks show in the skies over the city for the entire community to enjoy.
