Tour

MS EUROPA – The World’s Most Beautiful Yacht The EUROPA, the flagship of Hapag-Lloyd Cruises, sets international standards – for the tenth consecutive time, she has been the only cruise ship in the world to receive the distinction 5-stars-plus awarded by the Berlitz Cruise Guide 2010. The EUROPA offers each guest more space than the vast majority of other cruise ships, as well as copious privacy to relax and feel good. Exclusiveness and the fulfilment of individual wishes and ideas are our top priority at all times. Every cruise aboard the EUROPA is a unique and unforgettable experience among a small, cosmopolitan group of guests. On the EUROPA, our captains and their crew successfully create a very distinctive team spirit on board – and thus a personal, unobtrusive service that is rarely to be found on cruise ships or in the luxury hotel industry. Accordingly, our guests can enjoy the relaxed, attentive atmosphere on the EUROPA to the full. Welcome aboard The World’s Most Beautiful Yacht!

MS EUROPA

Europa Lounge

The Europa Lounge is the “concert hall” of the EUROPA. It offers sufficient space to accommodate all the guests, allowing them to experience evening entertainment on the stage with a multifaceted cultural and entertainment programme featuring first-class international artists. With our Stella Maris International Vocal Competition, we have been committed to promoting upand-coming talents in cooperation with renowned opera houses since 2009. In collaboration with the Honens International Piano Competition, we invite virtuoso instrumentalists to perform in front of our guests. The traditional welcome and farewell evenings with the captain also take place here. The Europa Lounge is a non-smoking lounge.

Atrium

The heart of the EUROPA with two glass lifts and views as far as the sky.

Tour Office

Our experienced tour guides gladly provide the guests with advice on board and will also assist in the planning of special shore activities and individual arrangements. Organised shore excursions are carefully planned for every cruise. On the EUROPA, we offer various types of shore excursions: 1.  Conventional excursions (e. g. bus tours and round trips) 2.  Late-riser excursions for all those who do not like to get up early 3.  Excursions by mini van or mini bus: more experiences and spontaneity 4. Individual excursions (e. g. by car and with your own, generally Englishspeaking driver) 5.  Adventure excursions (e. g. by plane, helicopter or hot-air balloon) 6.  Active tours (e. g. hiking tours, walks or bicycle tours) 7.  Theme excursions (exceptional experiences, e. g. “1,001” Emirates Palace) 8.  Extraordinary events (e. g. tsar evenings in St. Petersburg) 9. “Your own way”: If your clients have something else in mind, our concierge will be happy to help them organise it. Information on the excursion programme will be sent out to the guests approx. three months prior to the start of the cruise. We 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 your customers will receive information about one shore excursion in each port of call which will be conducted in English. Since the majority of passengers are Germanspeaking, there is usually a wider choice of shore excursions conducted in German. It is therefore important that you stipulate if your costumers wish to receive their documents in German or English when you book the cruise. It is possible to make prebookings for the excursions. The costs will be charged to the guest’s on-board account. During excursions with the 13 on-board Zodiacs, the guests will experience the flora and fauna at very close range. Depending on the destination, weatherproof parkas and rubber boots are made available for Zodiac landings. Zodiac landings and the associated excursions are included in the cruise price. In particular, this applies to voyages to remote regions. Whether the guests will be able to go ashore depends on the local conditions.

10

Bottled water is provided free of charge on the shore excursions. Bicycles (limited allotment), snorkelling equipment and umbrellas are available on board at no cost.

A concierge is in charge of any special requests on the part of our guests. He will, for instance, organise visits to the opera, make reservations for restaurants ashore, devise individual shore programmes or arrange for a limousine service.

Cruise Directors and Hotel Managers

The cruise directors Frank Meikofski and Alexander Thurein (photos to the right) manage the areas tourism and entertainment on board. They are responsible for the excursion programme ashore and the entertainment programme aboard. The hotel managers Josef Gruber and Johann Schrempf are in charge of the entire hotel business including restaurants with the service and logistics areas and also the OCEAN SPA.

Symposium at Sea This refers to a cruise in the course of which topical issues are addressed by specialists in the respective fields. These topics are dealt with in two different contexts on board – lectures with a duration of 45–50 minutes and panel discussions during which the guests have the opportunity to raise questions. A total of 10–14 lectures (2 per day) will be held during the Grand Symposium versus 4–6 lectures in the case of the Compact Symposium. The topics are chosen taking into account your clients’ intellectual skills. A special focus is on economic, social and political issues which are relevant on a national and/or international scale. MS EUROPA SYMPOSIUM AUF SEE 2010 The specialists on a symposium are mostly scientists, specialised journalists and representatives of the private sector.
