Experience the most beautiful moments of travelling - captured in moving images. Our media library shows you fascinating films that give you a first insight into life on board and ashore. Starring four ships, hundreds of destinations and plenty of exciting itineraries.

Our flagship takes a maximum of 408 passengers to the most beautiful places all around the world. Virtually no other cruise ship offers so much space to each and every guest. This is true in a metaphorical sense as well, because on board the EUROPA the guests' personal wishes have the highest priority and are fulfilled at all times by our constantly attentive service. The respected Berlitz Cruise Guide has awarded the 5-stars-plus* ranking to the EUROPA as the best ship every single year since 2001, the only ship to earn this honour.

Personal service, a high gastronomic standard, individual travel programme and excellent interiors: you will experience this comfort on the newcomer to the Hapag-Lloyd Cruises fleet in a modern and casual atmosphere. As a new building and our second flagship EUROPA 2 will be heading for the most attractive destinations in the world as from May 2013.

We are anticipating a very special moment in April of 2012 - the christening of our new premium ship COLUMBUS 2. Look forward to an informal atmosphere, first-class service and great culinary diversity aboard the COLUMBUS 2 - a small ship with a surprisingly extensive offer and plenty of space for each individual guest.

The only 5-star* expedition ship follows in the tracks of legendary explorers on extraordinary routes. Accompanied by experts from various fields of knowledge, a small group of no more than 184 guests enjoys the thrill of experiencing intensively natural spectacles and cultural treasures. Classified in the highest ice class for passenger ships, the HANSEATIC is able to penetrate deeply into the polar regions as well.

The 4-stars plus* expedition ship offers its no more than 164 guests unique expeditions in a familial atmosphere. Thanks to its shallow draught and the highest ice class for passenger ships, even extraordinary areas in polar regions and far removed from civilisation can be explored. The ship's own Zodiacs make it possible to participate in fully individual landings and unforgettable impressions.
