Look forward to Mediterranean ambience par excellence and three wonderful countries. A fantastic time at sea and unique insights ashore await you.
The EUROPA 2 welcomes you in Palma de Mallorca. Leave your everyday life behind and experience special places full of art and enjoyment as well as nature and culture: from Marseille and Cannes, rediscover “l’art de vivre” – for example, during a worldwide unique artistic multimedia show* in a quarry and a visit to the famous perfume house Fragonard* in Grasse. For Calvi on Corsica, our travel concierge recommends a flight over the spectacular coastal scenery**, enjoying the breathtaking views. From France, set course for the Italian Riviera. Here you can look forward to a gourmet lunch followed by an olive oil tasting* in the glamorous coastal town of Portofino. Italy is not only known for its exquisite food, but also for its art treasures. That’s why Livorno is the perfect starting point for an excursion to impressive Florence* or Pisa*. If you would like to take a little time out from culture afterwards, immerse yourself in island life in Portoferraio on Elba. Or set off from Porto Santo Stefano on a romantic excursion to the tuff rock towns of Sovana* and Pitigliano*. Then, in Civitavecchia (Rome), it will be time to say: “arrivederci, EUROPA 2!”
* The pre- and post-cruise programmes and shore activities are not included in the cruise price and are in the planning stage. Subject to change. ** ** This tip is an individual activity that is not organised by Hapag-Lloyd Cruises. Our travel concierge will be happy to help (surcharge applies).

Further information
Start your discovery tour from the Vieux Port, continue sampling the delicious bouillabaisse in the charming lanes of Le Panier and explore the impressive Notre-Dame de la Garde basilica with its breathtaking view over the city. Enjoy the lively markets and experience the Mediterranean flair along the Corniche. Marseille is a city of contrasts, where ancient traditions meet modern art and culture. Be inspired by the energy of this unique city and experience unforgettable moments in Marseille.
Calvi is one of Corsicas most beautiful cities with a small old town filled with winding alleyways and squares dating back hundreds of years. Calvi is the ideal starting point for an excursion into the neighbouring area, especially to see the typical Corsican macchia. Macchia is an exuberant and enchanting mixture of thorn-covered and prickly sclerophyllous plants, trees, bushes and grasses. Typical plants include the common rock rose, phillyria, arbutus, myrtle, broom, buckthorn, thyme, lavender, fennel and rosemary. A special feature of Corsica are the tafoni, created by the weathering of medium to coarse-grained stones. They look somewhat like honeycomb and can be found in an extraordinary variety of shapes.
Set in the Gulf of Tigullio is the picturesque community of Portofino. With just 500 inhabitants, this tiny village on the Ligurian coast should not in any way be underestimated: sophisticated boutiques, luxury yachts and first-class hotels make Portofino a stage for the rich and famous.

The organized land activities that we have planned for you place different demands on your physical fitness. So that you can see at a glance whether the requirement profile of your desired excursion matches your expectations, we have classified the activities in our excursion program into three levels:
easy
These programmes do not place any particular demands on your physical condition. Walks or tours take you along easy footpaths and any stairs are easy to negotiate.
moderat
These programmes place moderate demands on your physical condition. Walking for up to 2 hours (including on cobblestones) and climbing stairs should not cause you any problems. Programmes that include off-road vehicle rides on partially uneven and bumpy roads are not recommended for guests with back problems.

These programmes require a good level of physical fitness, dexterity and sure-footedness, e.g. for extended tours or city walks (sometimes on uneven surfaces and with many steps) or sporty, active hikes and kayak tours.
