Myths and legends in the Southeast Pacific, Lange Anna in the North Sea and the Hawaiian islands are among the 27 mouthwatering options in Hapag-Lloyd Cruises’ 2021/2022 season for EUROPA 2.
As well as featuring popular classics, the programme of five- to 95-day voyages from October 2021 to September 2022 features new destinations including Easter Island and America’s West Coast.
Calls at Istanbul and the port city of Marmaris are back in the programme, and for the first time the ship will be saying “Aloha” to the four Hawaiian islands.
Fashion lovers will be able to spend five days on board for the FASHION2NIGHT event cruise, and those with95 days to spare will be able to combine six cruises and cruise half way round the world.
During the summer months, European destinations will determine the routes, while during the European winter, the small cruise ship for a maximum of 500 passengers will head to faraway places.
Those interested in fashion, art, music and sport will find diverse formats on board the luxury ship that stands for a modern lifestyle and an informal dress code, which are popular among professionals and families alike.
The Europa 2 crew are looking forward to welcoming guests back on board
Heroes from novels and personal well-being in the South Pacific
This maiden route links the port city of Valparaiso with Tahiti. Robinson Crusoe Island awaits, and after several days of relaxation at sea, 20-metre-high moai statues will greet passengers to Easter Island.
Exotic islands, waterfalls and the vast expanse of the Pacific characterise the route from Fiji’s islands to Hawaii and then on to San Francisco, which features part of the IN2BALANCE format.
EUROPA 2’s first visit four Hawaiian islands provides the perfect opportunity to gain cultural insights and soak up the impressive scenery.
Go west – an abundance of art, five countries and the Panama Canal
This maiden route will visit over ten destinations. Metropolises such as Los Angeles and San Diego are contrasted with small idyllic port cities such as Monterey and Santa Barbara. Visiting the Golden Gate Bridge, or taking part in a wine tasting in the Napa Valley are just two examples of opportunities for excursions.
The closer the journey gets to Guatemala, the more likely it is that guests will see animals in the wild., and the EUROPA 2’s shallow draught allows it to reach destinations that cannot be accessed by the larger ships.
Times Square, Martha’s Vineyard, Helgoland and Elbphilharmonie
Two legendary cities and two special islands: from New York to Oak Bluffs – the counterpart to the Big Apple. Here, on the largest island in New England, is the oldest functioning carousel in the USA and is where small, pastel-coloured confectioners’ houses line the streets. The IN2BALANCE programme gets underway and fully relaxed guests get to experience the island of Helgoland before heading on to the final destination of the port of Hamburg.
