About Hapag-Lloyd Cruises
Hapag-Lloyd Cruises represents luxury on small ships. On board of all ships as well as on the offered shore excursions and expeditions you can make individual experiences, receive first-class service and take part in sophisticated programs. The cruise line offers many specific cruises, especially the expeditions which are highly in demand but also 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 M/S Europa and the M/S 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 408 or 516 passengers. New: Since July 2020 all ships of the fleet have been 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.
The Ship
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 M/S Europe 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. Board language is German, also excursions and other programs are offered in German. In addition, the Europa was conceptually and design-technically modernized in October 2019, so that the ship now shines in "casual chic".
