The new series of EXPERIENCE.tv films focuses primarily on the 5-stars- plus* EUROPA 2, revealing the concept of the 500-passenger ship and its facilities. Hapag-Lloyd Cruises is delighted to have cast as presenter experienced, British TV broadcaster Jonathan Beaumont, who has previously worked as producer and presenter for Travel Channel. The content of these short films, each with a length of 3-4 minutes, covers a range of topics, such as the appeal to English-speaking guests of cruising aboard EUROPA 2, the all-suite concept, the culinary diversity on offer, and wellness on board.

Karl J. Pojer, Chief Executive Officer of Hapag-Lloyd Cruises comments: “Today, we are very proud to launch our first episode of EXPERIENCE.tv. From now on, a new episode will be broadcast on the first Thursday of each month on our website. With Jonathan Beaumont we have won the endorsement of an experienced cruise journalist to guide the viewer through various topics and visualize our high standards, whether it is service, gastronomy, or accommodation on board. EXPERIENCE.tv will be an important addition to embracing further our new international markets and therefore address the different needs of our English-speaking guests.”
Jonathan Beaumont, EXPERIENCE.tv presenter says: “When I first cruised on EUROPA 2 I knew immediately this was the ship that ticks every box for me personally in terms of what I am looking for from a cruise. EUROPA 2 is such a beautiful ship; modern, stylish and totally relaxed. In some ways it is not like a cruise at all and much more like a luxury holiday that just happens to be at sea. I am just so thrilled Hapag-Lloyd Cruises asked me to be involved with such an exciting project”.
Hapag-Lloyd Cruises’ EUROPA 2
The EUROPA 2 is a modern and casual luxury ship, which does away with cruise traditions such as the captain's dinner, and for the second time has received the highest distinction of a *5-stars-plus ranking from the 2015 “Berlitz Cruise Guide”. With up to 500 guests, the EUROPA 2 provides the greatest space per passenger on a cruise ship anywhere in the world. The ship features exclusively suites with verandas and a minimum area of 35 m2 (376 ft2).
