One of the great names of passenger shipping for over 100 years, Hapag-Lloyd Cruises maintains a wonderful tradition of German excellence afloat, offering deluxe cruises and some of the best expedition cruises to the Arctic and Antarctic.

HANSEATIC and BREMEN operate wide-ranging and adventurous itineraries, taking passengers ashore by zodiac in the company of outstanding expedition leaders and guest lecturers. These voyages expertly balance stunning destinations and up-close action with excellent onboard comfort.

Hapag Lloyd operates an extensive range of Arctic voyages including cruises to Spitsbergen, the White Sea, Greenland and the occasional North West Passage cruise. The North West Passage is particularly special as rarely do cruise ships embark on this and even more rarely does a cruise line offering such comfort operate this journey. Hapag Lloyd operate longer Antarctic voyages with many taking in The Falkland and South Georgia, which we feel are a must if you are thinking about a cruise to Antarctica.

Hapag-Lloyd Cruises' itineraries are port-intensive and well constructed, and the worldwide programme includes some captivating voyages further afield. Expedition leaders and lecturers on board all the ships enhance the onboard experience, and many guests prefer to be in a European environment, rather than the very American style of most cruise ships.
