Experience the world's most beautiful golf courses

How about a golfing excursion to the Ligurian Sea? The itinerary includes top golf courses, with a special experience in store for every golfer. They all have one thing in common – surroundings that blend in well in every respect with the natural environment and enhance your game.

Thu. 01.10.2026 Catania, Italien – Il Picciolo Golf Club
The 18-hole golf course is situated on the slopes of Mount Etna, making it the only golf course in the world located just beneath an active volcano. The fairways lead through the remnants of the dark lava flow from the 1916 eruption. The course also weaves its way through thick vegetation, mostly made up of mature trees. The resulting narrow fairways therefore require a great deal of precision over distance.

Sun. 04.10.2026 Civitavecchia, Italien – Marco Simone Golf & Country Club   
This former Ryder Cup course near Italy’s capital city, Rome, is in top condition. Golfers can follow in the footsteps of the golfing elite here. The parkland course has generous fairways, giving even amateur golfers the chance to achieve a good score. Here you can still sense the atmosphere of the traditional international competition. – A very special experience for every golfer.

Mon 05.10.2026 Le Pavoniere Golf & Country Club
Golf legend Arnold Palmer has created 18 clever golf courses in a very small space. The fairways are all very close together. With six artificial water hazards, the “master” has managed to connect eleven of the fairways with the wet element. In addition, the golf courses have highly modulated playing surfaces, which are also monitored by conspicuous bunkers in the relevant landing positions. The course has already hosted many prestigious tournaments, such as the European Challenge Tour.

Wed 07.10.2026 Barcelona, Spanien – Real Club de Golf El Prat
This course has a history dating back to 1912. Initially known as Barcelona Golf Club, it was renamed the Royal Club following a visit by the monarch, Don Alfons XIII. After a change of location that was required in 1954, the club now has three complete 18-hole courses, mostly made up of sweeping fairways. The pink, yellow and green courses are all laid out in such a way as to ensure every chance of achieving a good score.

General information 

• In order to guarantee a comfortable flow of play for all golfers, we have determined a basic speed, which is sufficient for a playing time of 4.5 to 5 hours on foot (covering 18 holes with a trolley).
• Due to tournaments, renovations, etc. at the various golf clubs, our Golf & Cruise programme is subject to change at short notice.
• Golf & Cruise voyages allow all players with a handicap of 36 or less to play on courses all over the world. 
• Additional courses can only be booked in conjunction with the basic package.
• The reservation of e-carts cannot always be guaranteed due to local availability and weather conditions. You may, therefore, have to play and walk just with trolleys - possibly even on hilly courses. Please consider this when planning/booking your Golf & Cruise package. 
• Halfway refreshments are always ordered via the respective golf club; we have no influence on the quality of the snacks. We kindly ask for your understanding.
• When booking a Golf & Cruise package and flights through Hapag-Lloyd, we will register your golf equipment directly with the airlines – when possible and required. The current baggage regulations of the relevant airline apply. In your travel documents, which you will receive about four weeks prior to departure, you will find relevant information about this. Excess baggage fees for golf equipment are normally to be paid at check-in.
• Rental clubs for right-handed and left-handed players are available on board, subject to a surcharge.
