The EUROPA 2: All the promises of a yacht and the serenity of a small resort. In the past, luxury was not casual and casual was not luxury. The Europa 2 is different. Enjoy smart casual travel and a discerning lifestyle in a modern, relaxed atmosphere – with no formal attire, fixed mealtimes or traditional seating plans in the restaurants on board the best cruise ship in the world, according to the Berlitz Cruise Guide 2020.
With a maximum of 500 guests, enjoy individually tailored service and the highest level of personal space – and an exceptionally luxurious ratio of crew to passengers. The Europa 2 combines the comfort of an exclusive resort with the flexibility of a yacht that can also visit small harbours and places off the beaten tracks. Great route diversity opens up whole new opportunities to discover unforgettable destinations.
International Cruises: Hapag Lloyd international voyages (English/German) on the EUROPA 2 ensure that English-speaking passengers feel comfortable from the moment they step on board. All these cruises will be guaranteed international voyages so as to ensure that English-speaking passengers feel comfortable from the moment they step on board. All of the documentation, e.g. confirmation, travel documents and handbooks, will be in English. Furthermore, all programmes of the day, menus, announcements and lectures as well as the safety drill and Zodiac instruction will be provided respectively held in English. They will offer shore excursions in English on an individual basis, whenever possible in the ports of call. Approximately three months prior to the start of the cruise, customers will receive information about one shore excursion in each port of call which will be conducted in English.

Mystical Maori culture, impressive fjords and renowned wineries: experience multifaceted New Zealand in combination with the fantastic wilderness of Tasmania on board the EUROPA 2.
Personal service, a high gastronomic standard, individual travel programme and excellent interiors: you will experience this comfort on the newcomer to the Hapag-Lloyd Cruises fleet in a modern and casual atmosphere.
The route concept concentrates on four regions: Western Mediterranean, Eastern Mediterranean, Arabian Peninsula and Asia. In fulfilment of the wishes of our guests these will be shorter, mostly seven-day voyages. Many routes will be offered on different dates and can be combined flexibly to form longer, fantastic stays on board.
The interior concept follows current design trends and is a successful mixture of casual and stylish ambience with state-of-the-art technology. Hardly any other ship offers more space per guest as EUROPA 2 since, after all is said and done, well-being is also measured in square metres. For this reason it goes without saying that all the suites on board EUROPA 2 have a spacious veranda. Life on board sets its own standards: more lifestyle and less cruise rituals contribute towards a more informal atmosphere. The low number of passengers of max. 516 guests and the crew/guest ratio that exceeds this figure ensure that exclusiveness and relaxation are guaranteed from the very first moment onwards.
Besides culinary diversity and luxurious surroundings, wellness, fitness and a multi-facetted entertainment programme are the highlights of EUROPA 2. All these features can be enjoyed in a relaxed atmosphere and, of course, at the unique high standard that you expect of a ship that proudly bears the name EUROPA.Experience the new way of enjoying luxury in a relaxed ambience. We look forward to greeting you on board MS EUROPA 2
