The ship Hanseatic nature
Hanseatic nature has the ice class PC6, the highest ice class for passenger ships. Glass balconies on almost all staterooms will literally float you over the ocean and as well as the generous open deck areas and the gallery at the bow allow first-line nature observation. On the small exclusive ships with a maximum of 230 guests (for Arctic expeditions and cruises around Spitsbergen up to 199 guests) a very personal and excellent service awaits you. From the marina, you can set out on a total of 17 Zodiacs for thrilling trips or water sports in warmer regions. On both ships the cruise line put a lot of emphasis on environmental friendliness. With new technologies consumption and emissions will be reduced. Modern E-Zodiacs will bring the guests almost noiseless into untouched nature.
About Hapag-Lloyd Cruises
Hapag-Lloyd Cruises represents luxury on small ships. On board all ships you can expect individual experiences, first-class service and sophisticated programmes on board and ashore. The cruise line offers many special features, especially the expedition cruises which you should book early, but also theme cruises such as golf trips or musical events. The ship Bremen offers an particularly personal atmosphere with less than 200 passengers. In contrast, the ships Europa and Europa 2 offer more luxurious areas for a maximum of 400 respectively 516 passengers. With the new expedition class, the two ships Hanseatic nature and Hanseatic inspiration joined the fleet. Additionally, the sistership Hanseatic spirit will start its cruises in 2021.
Since July 2020 all ships of the fleet have been only fueled by the low-sulfured marine gas oil (MGO) instead of heavy oil. This causes 80 % less emissions and 30 % less fine dust and particulate emissions.

Sustainability Hanseatic nature
Since 2020, Hapag-Lloyd Cruises has been using a particularly low-sulphur fuel (marine gas oil 0.1 percent) for its expedition fleet. In addition, other certified fuels are regularly tested, including biofuels (which are obtained from residual and waste materials, for example), which massively reduce CO2 emissions and also contain hardly any sulphur oxides.
Hanseatic nature also has a certified shore power connection, which can be used to supply the ship with electricity from shore while it is in port (if available) and the ship's engines can therefore be switched off.
Hanseatic nature staterooms
On board the Hanseatic nature you will find only oceanview staterooms and suites, of which almost all will have a balcony or French balcony. The size of the comfortably and stylishly furnished staterooms and suites varies from 21 to 71 sqm.
