The ship Hanseatic spirit
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 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. On both ships, the cruise line puts 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 stands for luxury on small ships. On board all ships, you can expect individual experiences, first-class service, and sophisticated programs on the ship and ashore. In addition to the Europa and Europa 2, Hapag-Lloyd Cruises has three expedition ships: Hanseatic inspiration, Hanseatic nature, and Hanseatic spirit. The shipping company offers many special features, especially the expeditions, which you should book early, but also themed trips such as golf trips or musical events. Since July 2020, the ships in the fleet have been using only low-sulfur marine gas oil and no longer heavy fuel oil. This reduces emissions by 80% and results in up to 30% less particulate matter and soot particles.

Sustainability Hanseatic spirit
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 spirit 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 spirit staterooms
On board the Hanseatic spirit 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 varies 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, even from your comfortable cabin. 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.
Hanseatic spirit Atmosphere on Board
The new Hanseatic spirit offers excellent expedition feeling with 5-star comfort. The atmosphere on board is nevertheless relaxed and due to the small number of guests very private. All guests should enjoy a maximum of personal freedom on board which means, for example, free choice between the restaurants and the seats, fixed seats will be abolished in the future.

Hanseatic spirit Entertainment, Sports and Relaxation

The deck circulation on the bow allows nature observations from close proximity. The HanseAtrium, a divisible multifunctional lounge, transforms into one of the two bars in the evening.
