Christmas 2026

Magical festive season in a unique way

When the world slows down, when the light grows softer and silence takes hold – that’s when the most wonderful time of the year begins. Christmas and New Year on board our fleet are more than a celebration – they are a feeling: of vastness, of warmth, of truly arriving. And over it all lies a touch of hygge – that Nordic sense of well-being that combines calm, security and subtle sensuality.

Celebrate Christmas on board: with Hapag-Lloyd Cruises – stylish, far away and completely at peace with yourself.

Christmas on board EUROPA 2

Elaborate decoration

Lovingly adorned with great attention to detail, the EUROPA 2 shines in festive splendor. Every deck becomes a place of wonder – and Santa Claus makes children’s eyes light up.

Captain’s Christmas address

As the theater is immersed in a festive Christmas setting and the sounds of the ship’s band set the mood for the evening, the captain invites everyone to a heartfelt address. A moment full of warmth and togetherness – an experience only possible in the intimate circle on board.

Contemplative Time

Our onboard chaplain welcomes you to the ecumenical Christmas service and the morning prayer. Musically accompanied by our ocean pianist.

Christmas Beats

When the sea loses itself in the glow of evening lights, DJ sounds intertwine with the sparkle of familiar Christmas melodies – a moment of perfect luxury that surrounds everything.

Festive gala dinner

On Christmas Eve, the doors open to a gala dinner that radiates warmth and sophistication. Dressed up and full of anticipation, you enter one of the restaurants where you come together in a family-like atmosphere. Let our Chef de Cuisine take you on a culinary journey of the highest class – an evening defined by taste, elegance and Christmas magic.
