Marvel at the colours of Scandinavia’s Indian summer in the forests of Lapland, a region that’s seldom visited in autumn. A breathtaking display of the colours of nature in the northern extension of the Baltic Sea – combined with typically Nordic cosiness.
Please note: The HANSEATIC nature will be a German-speaking ship, with all cruises conducted in German only.
The new expedition class, a mixture of adventures and comfort
The wind in your hair and the spray on your skin – become an explorer under an open sky. This is why our ships have more open deck space than any other expedition ship. Hear the ice crack as you stand on the bow. Or discover the dense mangrove forests of the Amazon from various perspectives as they pass by at arm’s length.
What makes an expedition your expedition? The freedom to choose! The new expedition class is setting standards in variety, comfort and personal space.
