About MS Europa
It is not without reason that the Berlitz Cruise Guide awarded the rating 5-star plus 19 times in a row, most recently in 2019. The most beautiful yacht in the world, that’s how the the Europa is also called. Its sleek appearance, manageable size and perfect service make the stay on board for a maximum of 400 passengers an unforgettable experience.
The Europa was lastly renovated in 2024: 134 suites were modernised and equipped with elegant furniture, warm colours and stylish carpets. The pool area has also been redesigned and technological improvements have been made.
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.
