Adriatic Sea Cruise with MS Europa 2

Hapag-Lloyd Cruises represents luxury on small ships. On board of all ships as well as on the offered shore excursions and expeditions you expect individual experiences, first-class service and sophisticated programs. The cruise line offers many special features, especially the expeditions, that are strongly in demand, but also sporty theme trips such as golf trips or musical events. The M/S Bremen and the M/S Hanseatic offer a particularly personal atmosphere for less than 200 passengers. The MS Europa and the MS Europa 2, the only cruise ships in the world classified with 5+ stars by the legendary Berlitz Cruise Guide, offer even more luxurious areas for only 500 passengers.

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.

All family trips offer age-appropriate shore excursions for children, teens and the whole family.

There are eight restaurants, including the main restaurant Weltmeere, three specialty restaurants serving Mediterranean, French and Asian cuisine and a sushi bar. The French restaurant Tarragon has been awarded with the German Cruise Award 2016 as the best restaurant at sea. All restaurants are included in the tour price (excluding drinks). In addition to the eight restaurants, six bars on board complete the variety.

On board the MS Europa 2 varied shows, concerts and readings are offered. You will find a 3D cinema and always great open-air events by the pool.

If you want to travel longer, you can combine several routes - ask for a combi bonus! The German-language service is already known by the Hapag-Lloyd flagship M/S Europe and also standard on the M/S Europa 2.
