Supported Markets

Region	Output Currency
de_DE	EUR

AIDA sells to the German market in EUR only, so this scraper covers the single de_DE locale.

Input

Parameter	Type	Description	Default
region*	string	Market to scrape	de_DE
maxRows	number	Maximum sailings to return. Raise it to collect more; the scraper otherwise sweeps AIDA's whole catalog on its own. Set ~2500 for the complete catalog (currently ~1,800 sailings).	50
enrichDetails	boolean	Fetch per-sailing detail for per-cabin prices (the cabin tiers available on each sailing). Turn off for a fast, low-cost catalog-only run (headline "from" price only) — this step is the bulk of the requests/cost.	true
detailConcurrency	number	Parallel per-sailing price lookups (used only when enrichDetails is on)	8
maxRequestRetries	number	Retries for failed requests	4
requestHandlerTimeoutSecs	number	Request timeout (seconds)	60
requestDelayMs	number	Delay between request batches to pace throughput	150
useApifyProxy	boolean	Use Apify Residential proxy (always RESIDENTIAL)	true
apifyProxyCountryCode	string	Two-letter country to pin the residential proxy	DE
apifyProxyGroups	string	Proxy group tier (defaults to RESIDENTIAL)	—
proxyUrl	string	Custom residential proxy URL (use only if useApifyProxy is false)	—

A residential proxy is required — either enable useApifyProxy (RESIDENTIAL), or supply a residential proxyUrl.

Cabin Codes

Dynamic per-cabin price fields are emitted as price_EUR_<code> (e.g. price_EUR_I, price_EUR_B, price_EUR_S). Cabin codes are read directly from AIDA's detail response and vary by ship, so the set on any given sailing is whatever that ship offers. Common cabin codes include:

Code	Cabin Type
I	Innenkabine (Interior)
M	Meerblickkabine (Ocean View)
B	Balkonkabine (Balcony)
V	Verandakabine (Veranda)
K	Verandakabine Komfort
D	Verandakabine Deluxe
P	Panorama-Balkonkabine
J	Junior-Suite
S	Suite

The exact code and its label come from the source data (cabinName); other ship-specific codes may appear.

Output

Each record is a single sailing with:

• Cruise and itinerary identifiers (cruiseId, itineraryId)
• Ship name and departure/arrival ports (name + code)
• Departure and arrival dates (ISO format) and duration (nights)
• Lowest available per-person "from" price with currency (EUR)
• Ports of call with day numbers (portsList → portName, dayIndicator)
• Dynamic per-cabin price fields — price_EUR_<code> (e.g. price_EUR_I, price_EUR_B, price_EUR_S) — when enrichDetails is on. Sailings with sold-out cabins report only the tiers still available.
• source_url — direct booking link per sailing for deep-linking / affiliate tracking
• platform, company, locale — for multi-market deduplication

Runtime & Cost

• Catalog-only run (enrichDetails: false): fastest and cheapest — sweeps the full catalog for headline "from" prices only
• Full enriched run (enrichDetails: true, default): fetches the per-cabin price fields for each sailing; the per-sailing detail step is the bulk of the requests and cost
• Tune throughput with detailConcurrency (parallel detail lookups) and requestDelayMs (pacing between batches)
• Proxy: residential required (see Input)

Usage

{
  "region": "de_DE",
  "maxRows": 2000,
  "enrichDetails": true,
  "useApifyProxy": true,
  "apifyProxyCountryCode": "DE"
}

Notes

• AIDA prices are per-person
• Prices reflect the cruise-only fare (flight-inclusive tariffs are excluded), taken as the cheapest available per cabin tier
• Sold-out cabin tiers are omitted from a sailing's per-cabin price fields
• Sea days appear in portsList as Seetag
• For affiliate tracking, append your affiliate parameters to source_url on the consuming side
