The ship Hanseatic inspiration
Both new expedition vessels have the ice class PC6, the highest ice class for passenger ships. Glass balconies on almost all cabins 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 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 discoveries or water sports in warmer regions. For 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. Please note that the ship will soon be a non-smoker ship. This then applies to all public areas, for the inside areas as well as outside areas on deck (including private balconies and verandas). At the moment (date 11.11.2020) the following rules apply onboard: Smoking is only allowing in the Invisible Lounge inside the ship. Outside there is a designated smoking area portside near the pool. It is also allowed to smoke on the private balconies/verandas of the suites. Pipes, cigarillo and cigars are exclusively allowed in the Invisible Lounge.
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 programs 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 ships Bremen and Hanseatic with less than 200 passengers offer an particularly personal atmosphere. 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 in 2019.
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 particualte emissions.

Sustainability Hanseatic inspiration
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.
In addition, Hanseatic inspiration has a shore power connection (which will be tested in the coming weeks), which can be used to supply the ship with electricity from shore while it is in port (if available) after successful testing, thus allowing the ship's engines to be turned off.
Hanseatic inspiration staterooms
On board the Hanseatic inspiration you will find only outside cabins and suites of which almost all will have a balcony or French balcony. The size of the comfortably and stylishly furnished cabins and suites vary from 21 to 71 square meters. All cabins and suites have a special design concept, called “Inspired by nature” that is characterized by curved lines, natural colours and high-valued materials. In the bathroom, a heated wall ensures that even wet towels or parkas dry quickly after the expeditions. A free minibar (cabins with free soft drinks, suites all drinks included) and a coffee machine can be found on each cabin. There are Nordic walking poles for active guests and binoculars for observations of the unique nature and wildlife. The grand suites have a bathtub as well as a rain shower and a steam sauna which can also be found in the junior suites.

Two bars complete the culinary offer and invite to one or other drinks and stimulating conversations with fellow travelers.
Hanseatic inspiration Entertainment, Sports and Relaxation
