Individual travel arrangements to cruise departure point
Hamburg/Germany, departure approx. 21.30 hrs
An engrossing spectacle: the sixth Hamburg Cruise Days featuring a diverse programme on the piers. With the EUROPA 2 in the middle of it all. Enjoy the departure parade, where the ship lines up to sail back to the Elbe. The EUROPA 2 will become an exclusive box seat with unbeatable views of the city lights, the excited spectators on the banks and the colourful fireworks.
Amsterdam/Netherlands, arrival 18.00 hrs
How better to embrace the charm of the “Venice of the north” than on a canal trip* in the evening? Perhaps in a tuk-tuk*. The narrow streets, small bridges and narrow water fronts are perfect for a relaxed discovery tour in this unusual vehicle. However, you can also take a Segway tour* or walk through the trendy district of Jordaan, which is lined with small designer shops. Wander along the busy streets of Amsterdam late into the evening. Outside of the city, you should not miss out on seeing picturesque port towns or taking part in cheese-tasting sessions*.
OUR TIP:
Amsterdam is even more fascinating from the 23rd floor as you enjoy a cocktail in the bar of the Hotel Okura.

As part of the UNPLUGGED special travel format, you can see the latest stars from rock and pop up-close. Unlike concerts in big halls or stadiums, here you can experience prominent artists in the intimate, almost private atmosphere of a club gig. Max Mutzke, Boy, Laith Al-Deen, Nils Landgren, Max Giesinger and Gentleman are the stars celebrated at MS EUROPA 2 UNPLUGGED. On this UNPLUGGED festival cruise, we once again celebrate this travel format in particular. Look forward to the very best of the modern pop and soul scene. Johannes Oerding and SEVEN are already confirmed, and further artists will be announced shortly.

Anna Depenbusch is a singer and singer-songwriter from Hamburg. She has been composing and producing her own songs since 2001 and has released five albums to date. Awarded the Fred-Jay Preis for lyrics and the Deutscher Chansonpreis (German chanson prize), she blends various music genres such as jazz, chanson, country, blues and pop.
She tours Germany with her band and as a solo artist, accompanying herself on the piano, guitar and ukulele. Her lyrics take a tragicomic look at the banalities of life and love. Anna Depenbusch forms stories from truths, imagination and irony, slipping into the role of people in love, people who are hurting, dreamers and observers. Influenced by her surroundings, some of her songs combine maritime images with witty poetry. Vocally, Anna Depenbusch sees herself as part of the narrative tradition of songwriters and chansonniers. A, the place where it all began ...

When people talk about “soul” in Germany...
you would normally think of the superbly talented MIC DONET, who became famous on The Voice of Germany and through his subsequent album Plenty Of Love, which Xavier Naidoo said should have won a Grammy and which held on to a place in the German Top 10 for over 20 weeks. But his journey began much earlier.
After signing his first record deal at the tender of 19, he released his German-language debut album in 2004 called Stille Wasser, which still enjoys cult status today in its genre.
“His charisma and astonishing voice spectrum ranging from operatic theatricality, gentle romantic hip-hop and deep, soulful lyrics characterise him as an artist of international format.” (Süddeutsche Zeitung)
This has also been noticed by stars such as Erykah Badu, Stevie Wonder and Carlos Santana, all of whom the proud Berliner has already had the privilege of touring with.
The stage is his home.
He loves and lives his art. He breathes music and takes his fans’ breath away. Whether singing, dancing or giving his own piano accompaniment, Mic Donet touches and moves his audience with emotional, self-penned songs.
Enjoy a truly special concert experience.
Goosebumps are guaranteed...
