Glass Balconies

The glass balcony beneath your feet allows you to hover above the water and reveals the endless expanse and beauty of the ocean. Watch whales and large porpoises as they follow the ship, thrilling you as they leap and swim. Being so close to creation is an indescribable feeling.

Inspiration Walk

The deck tour at the bow offers extraordinarily intensive experiences: when whales jump for joy and polar bears take an icy bath, you will be the first to see these fascinating natural spectacles.

Observation Lounge & Library

Stroll the spacious decks and feel the stars almost within reach – the terraced Observation Deck with a panoramic view is but one place to fulfil your dream. You can also quench your thirst for adventure in the comfortable surroundings of the Observation Lounge. The large full-glass windows provide a 180-degree view of the moon and sea while you reflect on your unforgettable travel days over a glass of wine.

Library

You are welcome to borrow a book on board at any time. Our library is located in the Observation Lounge (Deck 8) and is stocked with a selection of the latest fiction books, travel literature and information about the cruising area.

Invisible Lounge

Located on Deck 4.

Reception

Post

The Reception staff will post your postcards and letters from all ports where this facility is available. Your onboard account will be debited with the appropriate charges.

Announcements

To create the full expedition experience, commentaries are provided for interesting passages during the cruise and special animal sightings are reported. The ship’s position is reported in the morning on days at sea. We will also announce via the loudspeakers when the local authorities have cleared the ship and we can go ashore. The volume can be controlled individually in each cabin/suite.

Means of payment

The on-board currency is the euro. An account will be set up for you so that you can make cashless payments during the cruise. You can find out your current account balance at any time using the infotainment system in your cabin/suite. You can then settle the entire account at Reception at the end of your cruise. We accept German EC/Maestro cards and the following credit cards: Mastercard, American Express and Visa. You can also pay in cash. Please note that, in general, foreign currencies cannot be changed on board.

Hanse Atrium

Draw on our experts’ wealth of knowledge during their daily presentations in the HanseAtrium, the new multifunctional lounge with state-of-the-art technology. Visit the lounge to prepare for upcoming excursions and shed more light on impressions gained (so-called precaps and recaps). Discuss your latest discoveries, enjoy fascinating, relaxed film evenings or listen to our experts’ enthralling travel reports. In the evening, the HanseAtrium is transformed into an atmospheric bar where you can see out the day and reflect on your experiences.

Ocean Academy

A large Study wall and an interactive Study poster display the latest fascinating articles and information on various disciplines and cruise experiences are enhanced with scientific content. A separate area with binocular microscopes allows you to discover natural wonders, together with your experts, that cannot be seen with the naked eye. And whenever inquisitiveness takes hold, sit back in a comfortable Study Seat with a swivel touchscreen and immerse yourself in the world of science – away from the presentations and scheduled events.

Zodiacs

A spirit of adventure doesn’t need harbours. The 17 Zodiacs (expedition rubber boats) are often the only way to get ashore in remote regions. After boarding via the side gate of the ships, specially trained drivers will navigate you to remote shores - in small groups and without long waiting times. This is the only way to reach regions that have retained their original character. The Zodiacs glide between icebergs, land on remote tropical beaches or navigate you through narrow waterways. Once ashore, your adventure continues: hikes with expedition guides will invigorate your body and mind. Whether Nordic Walking, easy trekking tours or snowshoeing – many active experiences await you.

Our Zodiacs will take you to hidden places and areas that are difficult to access, take you on further where other ships have to turn back and enable you to go ashore in places that may otherwise seem impossible. Your experiences in these places will become unforgettable memories. Let the Zodiacs take you straight into your next adventure, such as into the network of tributaries on the Amazon, to idyllic beaches in the South Seas or in search of impressive glacial landscapes. Experienced experts will always be on hand to show you what to look out for. These experiences are part of all of our expedition cruises and are also included in the cruise price on selected EUROPA and EUROPA 2 cruises. See things up-close in far-flung places – and experience new worlds.

Camping in the Antarctic

Surely the purest way to experience the sixth continent! Take the unique opportunity to pitch your tent in the endless ice. An intensive experience in the tradition of great pioneers. This activity is offered on selected expeditions with the HANSEATIC nature, the HANSEATIC inspiration and the HANSEATIC spirit.

Experts

Whales ahead? Chile's glaciers in sight? The passage through the Panama Canal is imminent? You will experience expedition highlights particularly intensively in the open air - and your experts will always be with you on the many open deck areas. They explain the background and provide valuable detailed knowledge that you won't find in any travel guide. Is there a topic you can't get enough of? Your expedition team of up to 16 people will be happy to answer your questions - the more thirsty for knowledge, the better. After all, what would an expedition be without curiosity?

Kayaks

Conquer the polar waters by kayak in small groups of no more than twelve participants. We offer tours with instruction from an experienced kayak guide on selected cruises on our new expedition ships. These excursions are ideal for beginners with previous experience. 

Hikes

Your experts will accompany the hikes and landings and draw your attention to details that often go unnoticed by an untrained eye. Snowshoe hiking in Antarctica is a very special experience. Not only will you enjoy spectacular views, you will gain deep insights into the wonders of our planet.

Organised Shore Activities

Our classic excursions will give you your first impressions of the region. For those who prefer to be active and get to know a country and its people from a new perspective, we also provide adventure trips and active tours, such as hiking, Segway, boat and kayak tours and snorkelling.

Expertise

Why explore the world with us? Because we truly know how to do expeditions. Our for decades of experience in particular allow us to plan, prepare and perform these highly complex journeys. What is planned for the long term nevertheless enables flexible responses to local conditions. The captain and crew check the route every day, not only in polar regions, and react to the weather and ice as best they can. And yet: no ship technology shows where polar bears wander or schools of whales curiously appear - this is where our instinct for the right moment and true passion for discovery come into play.

HANSEATIC Restaurant

The spacious HANSEATIC Restaurant of the new expedition class redefines on-board cuisine. From breakfast to dinner, experience our endless variety of creative cuisine at any time of day. Where your ship drops anchor, our top chefs will look to local specialities and conjure up for your plate the aromas of South Africa, the far north, or Europe. Daily changing menus will send your taste buds on a global tour of discovery – accompanied by a selection of wines to suit every palate.

L'esprit

The l'esprit on the HANSEATIC spirit celebrates the spirit of French cuisine. A tribute to culinary expertise and Mediterranean lightness.

Lido Restaurant

Expeditions bring you particularly close to the elements. The same applies to our Lido Restaurant. Have breakfast under an open sky, or enjoy a juicy steak cooked to perfection on the large outdoor barbecue – garnished with breathtaking panoramic views. Watch our gourmet chefs at work in the open show kitchen or head straight to the ice cream station for dessert. And why not? After all, the daily grind is far away.

That special touch

Land on a secluded island in a Zodiac and enjoy barbecued fish and chilled drinks with your feet in the sand. Or celebrate with a glass of champagne against a stunning icy backdrop. Our service and ingenuity continue ashore – with a barbecue on the beach, a reception in the ice or exotic delicacies in the depths of the rainforest. This is the feeling of true expedition. This is the taste of true delight.

Fitness on 100 m²/1,076 ft²

Feel like getting active? The fitness room and separate course room – both with an ocean view – can be used from morning to night. Our fitness coach will show you what to do and help you with the right movements. He or she will also answer any questions you may have about your health. A wide range of courses – on deck (weather permitting) or in the fitness room – will revive your spirit. Invigorated and relaxed, you are ready for your next adventure.

OCEAN SPA

A place of relaxation with Finnish sauna with an ocean view, steam sauna, ice fountain and relaxation room. From professional partial- and full-body massages to classic cosmetic treatments and moments of indulgence for your hair, hands and feet, you are in the best possible place. Carefully selected natural products with premium plant ingredients and vegan formulas enhance your beauty while helping to preserve the environment. Holistic. Natural. Sustainable.

Pool Area

Thanks to its flexible canopy, the pool area with bar can be enjoyed whatever the weather. Water loungers and a whirlpool offer pure relaxation.
