A culinary extravaganza

EUROPAs Best – 20th Gourmet Festival in the Port of Hamburg

Once a year, numerous culinary experts gather on board the EUROPA for the EUROPAs Best Gourmet Festival – including top chefs, winemakers, pâtissiers and fromagers. Together, they transform Deck 8 into an exclusive culinary promenade. Then it’s time to stroll, sample and feast – from one station to the next. The grand finale is a glittering summer party on deck against the impressive backdrop of Hamburg.
