A little later she worked for a container shipping company in New Zealand and for the European Parliament in Brussels. Ms. Langosch completed her first nautical internship on a container ship. She has now been working for ten years on the AIDA ships.
Nicole Langosch stated:
It makes me proud to work in a company that gives targeted support to young women in their careers and enables me to pursue my dream job, looking forward to my new role as captain aboard AIDAsol, and aware of the great responsibility.
The 253 meter long and 32 meter wide AIDAsol is one of 12 vessels of the AIDA fleet and is currently operating between the Canary Islands and Madeira.
