What's Europa like?

Small luxury and expedition ships operated in German and English, suited to travelers who want low guest counts on classic voyages or polar and Amazon expeditions.

  • Two distinct ship types: EUROPA ships carry up to 400 or 500 guests; HANSEATIC expedition ships carry no more than 230.
  • Bilingual fleetwide: Since January 2026 all voyages operate in German and English, extending what EUROPA 2 already offered.

Worth knowing: Inclusions differ by ship and suite; EUROPA 2 includes minibar soft drinks and beer, so confirm bar drinks and Wi-Fi limits before comparing.

Style notes describe Hapag-Lloyd Cruises in general, not this ship specifically.
