Hapag-Lloyd Cruises set out on its first voyage over a century ago, and today it provides everything from classic cruises and polar expeditions. The line operates a fleet of four small ships, each of which have their own individual charm and sail to different destinations around the world.
The MS Bremen provides expedition cruises to untouched lands, for just 164 guests and with a 4-star service. Renowned lecturers are on hand to share their expertise and bring each region to life.
The largest in the Hapag-Lloyd fleet, the Columbus 2 carries 698 guests and features a variety of amenities including four themed restaurants, several bars and an array of entertainment options that cater for every whim.
Carrying just 408 guests at a time, the Europa offers an unrivalled passenger to crew ratio, which guarantees first class service.
Set to launch in May this year, the Europa 2 will continue to build on the success of its sister ships and offer a casual, yet stylish interior boasting all the modern conveniences you would expect from a highly rated cruise operator.
The MS Hanseatic provides expedition cruises to untouched lands, for just 183 guests and with a 5-star service. You can follow in the wake of famous missionaries across the South Seas or sail through the Northwest Passage as the great discoverers once did.
The five ships of the Hapag-Lloyd Cruises fleet are led by industry-leading ship Europa – consistently ranked as the best ship in the world for the tenth consecutive year by Berlitz Complete Guide to Cruising.
The quality of food and service on board, the off-the-beaten-track ports of call and the attentive German staff.
The passenger mix is predominantly from Germany but this does not present a problem as all the staff and crew are fluent in English. Hapag-Lloyd Cruises operates several 'bilingual' cruises where all the onboard programmes are printed in English.
You book early for expedition cruises as these sell out very quickly due to the out-of-the-way destinations they visit.
Cruise enthusiasts who have an appetite for luxurious adventure & expedition cruising.
These special offers and exclusives are usually only available for a limited period and may have further terms and conditions attached.
