EUROPA

Summers From Hamburg, Long Voyages From Cape Town

In July and August, EUROPA sails one-way from Hamburg to Kiel on voyages of 11 and 12 nights. Ports change from sailing to sailing, but Stockholm, Tallinn, Helsinki and Copenhagen are among the cities she visits. Our Europe cruise deals include these departures.

In August the direction flips: she leaves Kiel for 12 and 13 nights around the coasts of the United Kingdom, ending in Hamburg. Typical calls include St. Helier on Jersey, Guernsey, Torquay and Falmouth, though the list differs between departures.

Further south, she leaves Cape Town on one-way voyages of 15 and 20 nights, ending in Port Louis, Mauritius or Santa Cruz de Tenerife, with departures in May and December. Stops vary, but Walvis Bay in Namibia, Mossel Bay and Durban have all featured. Our Africa cruises gather the sailings on that coast.

She also sails from ports including Miami, Hong Kong and San Francisco. Wherever she sails from, we book the flights, the hotel either side and the transfers with the cruise as one holiday. She sails for Hapag Lloyd Cruises alongside MS EUROPA 2, HANSEATIC nature, HANSEATIC spirit and HANSEATIC inspiration.

Fine Dining on EUROPA, With No Surcharge

EUROPA’s restaurants carry no surcharge, and that includes her most ambitious one. At The Globe by Kevin Fehling, a three-Michelin-star chef combines modern techniques with ingredients and flavours from around the world. Reserve a table to be sure of a seat. Pearls reimagines French seafood tradition, with caviar on the menu and an outdoor terrace looking out over the sea.

For everyday dining, the EUROPA Restaurant changes its menu daily, drawing on the regions the ship is visiting, and many of its tables are set for two. Venezia covers Italian and Mediterranean classics, from pasta to dolci. The Lido Café serves breakfast on the terrace and dinner under the stars, with a grill station beside the buffet.

Champagne, Cigars and Afternoon Tea on EUROPA

EUROPA’s bars are free to walk into, with drinks charged unless a drinks package covers them. Sansibar brings the beachside venue from the island of Sylt to sea, and its menu is built around a wide choice of champagne. The Havana Bar is the place to end an evening, with a fine cigar from its well-stocked humidor and a drink to match.

By day, Club Belvedere serves complimentary tea, coffee and pastries with panoramic views. On selected evenings the same room hosts readings and other entertainment.

EUROPA Cabins and Deck Plans

EUROPA carries 204 cabins, and every one of them is a suite. Her cabins and deck plans show how those suites are spread across the ship, worth a look before you decide where to stay.
