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.
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 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. All staterooms and suites have a special design concept, called “Inspired by nature” that is characterised by curved lines, natural colours and high-valued materials. In the bathroom, a heated wall ensures that wet towels or parkas dry quickly after the expeditions. A free minibar (staterooms with free soft drinks, suites all drinks included) and a coffee machine can be found in each stateroom. There are Nordic walking poles for active guests and binoculars for observations of the unique nature and wildlife, even from your comfortable stateroom. 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 nature Atmosphere on Board
The new Hanseatic nature 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 can enjoy a maximum of personal freedom on board which means free choice between the restaurants and the seats. The clothing during the day is sporty-elegant and adapted to the weather. Two extendable glass balconies on the sundeck provide the incomparable feeling of floating above the ocean. The age of the guests is mixed, but mostly middle and upper age. Onboard language on the Hanseatic nature is German so that all guests can easily follow the explanations given by the experts on board.

Hanseatic nature Entertainment, Sports and Relaxation
The focus of an expedition cruise is on the discovery of the world and the intense experience of nature. Therefore, the focus of the entertainment on the Hanseatic nature is on the imparting of knowledge which is deepened by expert lectures in the HanseAtrium and can once again be extended by self-study in the OceanAcademy. The deck circulation at the bow allows nature observations from close proximity. The HanseAtrium, a divisible multifunctional lounge, transforms into one of the two bars in the evening. In the approx. 235 sqm OceanSpa area guests can spoil themselves after exciting excursions.
