Hapag-Lloyd Cruises

When the legendary AUGUSTA VICTORIA set out on the world’s first “pleasure cruise” on January 22nd, 1891, it was the beginning of a unique cruise history. Inspired by the passionate pioneering spirit of the HAPAG board member Albert Ballin, we are continuing with our current fleet what began more than 125 years ago. Whether milestones like our “cruises above the clouds” with the private jet ALBERT BALLIN and the commissioning of two new expedition ships in one year (HANSEATIC nature & HANSEATIC inspiration in 2019). Or big moments like the maiden voyage on the world’s best * cruise ship EUROPA 2. And the many small moments that give every trip its unmistakable “spirit”. Our story takes its course with every guest who comes to us on board.

Everything looks different when you see it in one of the most privileged ways on earth. Everything is so much more memorable, when you are relaxed and ready to appreciate it to the full. This state of mind is the perfect way to experience some of the most distinctive destinations our planet has to offer.

+South America
South America is a continent of incredible contrasts. Cosmopolitan cities are dwarfed by cloud topped mountains and great plateaux; evidence of ancient civilisations mingle with vibrant contemporary culture in a land so special, so alien, that a visit is never forgotten.

+Mediterranean
The warmth of the Mediterranean climate is matched only by the legendary hospitality of its friendly, cultured people. Hardly surprising that this diverse area has long been a favourite with the most discerning cruise guests – and who are we to break with tradition?

+Northern Europe
Ignored by all too many voyagers in favour of the resorts of Southern Europe, Northern Europe has so much to offer: some of the world’s most exclusive and refined capitals, icily beautiful fjords and coastlines, and glimpses of the legendary midnight sun.

+Alaska
A fifth of the size of the whole USA, Alaska is the last great wilderness, a tranquil, icy paradise where you feel far removed from the realities of everyday. Here you really can escape and experience the big skies from the intimate surroundings of a small ship.

+New England and the ColonialCoast
Long celebrated as the most anglicised and historic area of America, New England is also famous for its stunning autumnal scenes, clap-board houses, rugged coastlines and, of course, whale watching.

+Far East(Grand Asia Pacific)
The sights, the sounds, the smells of those incredibly ancient, yet sometimes incredibly modern, lands must be experienced to be believed. A visit to the Orient is one of the great travel experiences of life.

+Caribbean and the Panama Canal
Beautiful islands with their peculiar sugar loaf mountains, an abundance of fragrant spice trees and stunning white beaches. Balmy relaxed days in the sun – and then perhaps rouse yourself to be awed by the so impressive Panama Canal.
