Be inspired by our varied range of cruises. Enjoy a cruise that leaves no wish unfulfilled – on board our luxury ship EUROPA 2. Or experience an adventure like no other aboard one of our expedition ship – HANSEATIC inspiration. No matter which ship or route you choose, wonders always await: the world ahead of us.
Our expedition and luxury cruise ships, each with its own special character, offer hundreds of destinations, on-board and shore programmes with something for everyone whatever the spontaneous mood, attractive cruise combinations, short trips to get your feet wet as well as long voyages for epicures and experts. Flexibility and tremendous variety are outstanding characteristics of Hapag-Lloyd Cruises. But one thing never changes: making your personal wishes come true and turning your visions of what a cruise should be into reality are always at the focus of our efforts. We want to make you forget your everyday cares so that you can discover how wonderful it is to live without constantly looking at the clock. A completely new kind of freedom is waiting for you. Cruises and expeditions are not only a wonderful way to travel - they are also highly individual.
Our driving force – a cruise is the most exciting way of experiencing the earth and its beauty. Protecting the environment is of the highest priority for Hapag-Lloyd Cruises, in order to preserve this beauty for a long time to come. Exploring new shores also means assuming responsibility. When it comes to environmental friendliness, there is rarely one all-encompassing solution. This goes for our ships, too. We combine a variety of smaller- and larger-scale measures to continuously improve our environmental performance. These range from design modifications that help reduce consumption to technical solutions that decrease air emissions as well as various measures within our daily operations.

ECO-EFFICIENCY, EFFICIENT ROUTE PLANNING & FUELS
GETTING INVOLVED, RESPONSIBILITY FOR DESTINATIONS
MORE SUSTAINABILITY, LESS PLASTIC
The oceans must be protected, not least because they provide us with 70 % of our oxygen – far more than forests, for example. Oxygen is produced by plankton, microbes and above all by algae. Plastic waste is collected separately on board our ships and sent for recycling on land. And yet there is more we can do: we are reducing the unnecessary use of plastic on all cruises, foregoing plastic bags, straws and cocktail stirrers and using alternatives made from wood.
We are using sustainable alternatives to plastic in other areas, too: the kayaks on board our new expedition ships are made from HTP, a particularly high-quality and long-lasting polyethylene. No waste is created when the boat hulls are manufactured – and the manufacturer takes them back free of charge for recycling.
OUR COMMITMENT, TO PEOPLE AND TO NATURE
ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS, CREATING AWARENESS ON BOARD
By taking guests and crew on tours of the engine room, captains and senior officers increase awareness of the environmental protection measures on board. In addition, scientists and experts include recommendations for environmentally conscious behaviour in their presentations, particularly for visits to fragile ecosystems.
Many guests return from their cruise to the Arctic or Antarctic determined to help preserve this unique wilderness – evolving from tourists into environmental ambassadors.
Welcome on board a cruise ship fleet without compare – with individual ships and a high degree of personal freedom.
We place the world at your feet.
This is our number-one aim. We know that the best feeling comes from the best quality – and this is what we guarantee on each of our routes. Our luxury cruise ships EUROPA and EUROPA 2 as well as our new expedition ships HANSEATIC nature, HANSEATIC inspiration und HANSEATIC spirit belong to the best cruise ship fleet in the world*.
Reach destinations that seem unreachable.
With their shallow draught, excellent manoeuvrability and great flexibility, our luxury and expedition ships offer all the benefits of a yacht and mean that we can keep developing route concepts that allow you to explore different climates, oceans and countries. Our unique routing around the world means that you can combine multiple cruises for even more adventure.
Making dreams come true without you even having to ask.
This is something that only first-rate, consistently attentive service can achieve. Our crew-to-guest ratio of almost 1:1 enables us to provide a personalised experience that you won’t find anywhere else.
Extensive space for exclusive numbers of guests.
Each of our cruises accommodates a maximum of 500 people, who experience unforgettable moments on board in the comfort of an intimate atmosphere. Our range of cabins and suites and the generous amount of space on board means that you will feel at home anywhere in the world.
Exclusive gastronomic brilliance.
On board every ship you’ll find culinary highlights inspired, created and prepared by top chefs. We have brought in the most creative stars of their field to transform the very best ingredients into perfectly devised works of haute cuisine.
A good topic is like a good cruise – both explore new horizons.
As well as taking you to exclusive destinations, we also take you on inspiring journeys with fascinating themed evenings, panel discussions, readings, shows and concerts with famous names from the worlds of culture, science and entertainment.
Individual discovery as standard.
We allow you to create your own custom cruise with a choice of activities on board and ashore, plus carefully selected pre- and post-cruise programmes. The travel concierge on board our ships will provide expert advice and assistance.

The history of cruising isn’t just anyone’s – it’s ours.
When the first “pleasure cruise” took place more than 130 years ago, it marked the start of a unique story for Albert Ballin. We have stayed true to our inexhaustible pioneering spirit to this day and can look back on a wealth of experience. Our past also helps us to always do what is right for the future and to be leaders in our industry.
