Hapag-Lloyd Cruises

5-star cruising at its very best

For 100 years Hapag-Lloyd, now rebranded as Hapag-Lloyd Cruises, have had a simple philosophy. Not to have the most guests but the most satisfied guests.

Its four small to medium size ships ships – Europa, Hanseatic, Bremen and Europa 2 – may each have their own special character and individual destinations, but all have one thing in common – they are the best in their category.

And you can expect the same from the two new expedition ships, HANSEATIC inspiration and HANSEATIC nature, which joined the fleet in May and October 2019.

A third expedition vessel, HANSEATIC spirit,  will arrive in 2021.

Europa 2

Europa 2 shares the prized position of Berlitz’s best cruise ship in the world with sister ship Europa

In fact Europa, which was joined by big sister Europa 2 in April 2013, is regarded by many as the most beautiful yacht in the world.

The cruise line boasts: “Flexibility and tremendous variety are outstanding characteristics of Hapag-Lloyd Cruises. But one thing never changes: making your personal wishes come true and turning your visions of what a cruise should be into reality are always at the focus of our efforts.

“We want to make you forget your everyday cares so that you can discover how wonderful it is to live without constantly looking at the clock. A completely new kind of freedom is waiting for you. Cruises are not only a wonderful way to travel – they are also highly individual.”
