AIDAperla is one of the world's most technologically advanced cruise vessels. The ship rides on a cushion of air, thus reducing frictions and fuel consumption, The new technology is called MALS ("Mitsubishi Air Lubrication System"), allowing the liner to glide on an air bubbles carpet. The ship's first drydock refurbishment was in 2022 (April-May) done at Lloyd Werft's shipyard in Bremerhaven Germany. The project included mainly technical updates and regular/scheduled maintenance works, including hull cleaning and painting.

The company's statistics show that an AIDA vessel spends ~40% of its operating time in ports. AIDA's newest class of cruise vessels (succeeding the Hyperion-Class ships AIDAprima and AIDAperla) is called "Helios-class". Dining is entirely open-seating and takes place in two or three complementary self-service restaurants. Being without MDRs (main dining rooms), the ship's buffet is the conceptual substitute. Passengers tired of the buffet meals can alternatively try the a-la-carte-priced restaurants pampering with high-quality gourmet cuisine and an elegant atmosphere.

This is also the second German-market dedicated cruise ship (together with Prima) with an ice rink. With the Prima's ice rink, AIDA Cruises announced the company's partnership with "Holiday on Ice". The ice rink is opened only during the winter season (until mid-March). For AIDA Cruises, the implementation of shore power technology represents a vital step in reducing local emissions from ships. 9 out of 11 AIDA vessels are currently equipped with shore power capabilities, including all ships departing from German ports for cruises in the North and Baltic Seas this summer.

AIDAperla has a large number of cabins, ranging from the 172-square-foot inside cabin to a 1,238-square-foot suite. Balconies include a cool hammock that can be stretched across to enjoy some reading or snoozing. Managed by Costa Group, the combined Costa-AIDA fleet became Europe's largest. In 2014, one out of every two cruise ship tourists in Europe sailed on either AIDA or Costa ship. In 2015, Costa Group had 20 offices in 14 countries, around 27,000 shipboard employees and total passenger capacity of 68000+ berths (fleetwide).

As a pioneer in the ship cruising industry, AIDA also sets an example for environmental protection through its technology upgrades and innovations. Perla became world's second cruise liner (after Prima) fitted with dual-fuel engines, producing energy from LNG (liquefied natural gas) while the vessel is docked in port. The LNG fuel is supplied by truck (Royal Dutch Shell being AIDA's exclusive LNG provider). Ship's diesel engines are shut off in port, resulting in approx 80% reduction of NOX emissions and about 20% of CO2.
