    The highlights of this cruise

    This impressive cruise brings together seven rivers in five countries: the Elbe, Thames, Seine, Loire, Gironde, Tagus and Guadalquivir. Wonderful-sounding names with evidence of great history on their shores. Enjoy your first river panoramas on the evening cruise on the Elbe. Once you arrive in England, your team of experts on board will enrich the cruise on the Thames with fascinating insider knowledge – like on all river cruises on this adventure. The HANSEATIC nature sails through Tower Bridge to its mooring point directly in London, where it will stay for two days. This means that you not only have particularly short distances, but also plenty of time for in-depth explorations or a visit to Windsor Castle*. The next day Tower Bridge opens again. France’s beauty is revealed in the flowing transition between the Thames and the English Channel as you cruise along the Seine, before Rouen tells the story of Gothic architecture and of Monet. Discover fortified buildings on the coast: the town of St Malo and the monastery island of Mont-Saint-Michel*. In Nantes, the splendour of churches, kings and dukes competes with nature. Lush green banks also accompany you as you cruise on the Loire. Wild, vast and wonderful: will Belle-Ile welcome you with a sea of blossoming flowers? Gentle rolling hills set the scene for your cruise on the Gironde. Bordeaux is famous for cultural treasures and culinary delights. On board, you will again enjoy the best-possible views as you cruise down the Tagus to Lisbon. Enjoy the coastal town and the mild temperatures. The cruise on the Guadalquivir takes you deep into the heart of Andalusia. Only a small ship such as the HANSEATIC nature is able to approach Seville like this. Relax and enjoy the last evening of your cruise with tapas and a glass of sherry.

    * The shore activities are not included in the cruise price and are in the planning stage. Subject to change.

    Your ship - HANSEATIC nature

    The new expedition class

    The naming ceremony of the HANSEATIC nature took place in Hamburg on 4 May 2019. Together with its structurally identically sister ships HANSEATIC inspiration (2019) and HANSEATIC spirit (2021), the small and state-of-the-art expedition ship explores remote destinations and visits the world’s most fascinating natural landscapes on challenging routes.

    The new expedition class – which offers space for a maximum of 230 guests (or 199 guests on Antarctic cruises and Spitsbergen circumnavigations) – sets standards in terms of variety, comfort and personal space. This is why our ship has more open deck space than any other expedition ship. Find out more!
