Incomparable and outstanding - this description applies to Hapag-Lloyd Cruises. One ship in the Hamburg-based company's fleet achieved particular fame: the MS EUROPA. MS EUROPA is the only cruise ship in the world to have been awarded 5 stars plus seventeen times by Berlitz Complete Guide to Cruising & Cruise Ships. The MS EUROPA 2 has also been at sea worldwide since 2013.

Award-winning cruise ships from Hapag-Llyod Cruises

At the 2018 Cruise Guide Awards, the MS EUROPA 2 was named "Best Ship" in the "Gastronomy" category for the sixth time in a row. On board, guests are treated to star-level dining with excellent service and an exclusive range of restaurants (including Italian, French and Asian specialties).

The new expedition class

In the fall of 2017, the keel was laid for the new expedition ship HANSEATIC inspiration. The new expedition class ship has been underway since fall 2019, offering expeditions in the polar regions (Arctic and Antarctic), warm waters (Amazon and South Seas), and the Great Lakes in North America. The new expedition class also includes the HANSEATIC nature, which has been setting out on exciting expedition routes since spring 2019, and the HANSEATIC spirit since 2021.

Each ship is individual and can boast different advantages. Cruisers who value the fact that the number of passengers does not exceed 500 will feel very comfortable, because Hapag Lloyd ships take no more than 230 to 420 passengers on the journey. The spacious, comfortable cabins also contribute to the success of a sea voyage.

Fine cuisine and entertainment on the high seas

Guests are treated to culinary delights in the gourmet restaurants. The ambience of the noble bars and lounges is so inviting that shipboard guests like to settle down here for a cocktail. Live bands, acrobats and international show stars in the evening contribute to a crowning conclusion to a relaxing day at sea. For passengers who are active in sports, numerous options are offered, from golf to aerobics.

In terms of cruise destinations, there is a great selection of different itineraries, among which travelers will definitely find their dream voyage. With an expedition cruise, a pleasure cruise, a golf cruise, an active cruise or a music cruise, all requirements will be met.

Hapag-Lloyd Cruises - Remain an individualist, get on board and enjoy an incomparable cruise!
