MS EUROPA 2

The younger sister of the Sansibar on Sylt sees much more of the world: the view from the open-air bar over the sea and the parties on the dance floor to DJ sounds are unforgettable. And for a late breakfast and small dishes in the afternoon and evening, it is also the top location.

With its incomparable panorama, the Belvedere is a cozy place to linger. But above all, it is an atmospheric lounge where readings and concerts also take place.

The piano bar follows the tradition of bars in classic grand hotels: you can reflect on the day with a first-class drink and pleasantly understated music from the Steinway grand piano. You can also enjoy a sea view that probably no other hotel in the world can offer.

With its cosy bar and lounge area and small stage, Club 2 adapts to the theme of the itinerary and is constantly reinventing itself with its colour and lighting concept. Let the day end with exquisite drinks and small snacks, in keeping with the destination, and be inspired by the diverse entertainment programme.

The perfect setting for the perfect drink, nothing more and nothing less. In a classic, stylish ambience with club chairs and precious woods. With Cuban specialties from the humidor. 

• Multifaceted shows.
• Performances with numerous guest stars, soloists, entertainers and acrobats.
• Concerts from classical music to pop.
• Vaudeville highlights.
• State-of-the-art stage technology with LED screen.

art2sea

Look forward to an inspiring journey into the world of art - art2sea welcomes important artists, gallery owners, art experts or curators from major museums. In cooperation with renowned experts, fascinating insights into the international art world are created. Exclusive exhibition, gallery and museum visits offer you a look behind the scenes.

Art on the High Seas

A walk through the bright corridors of the EUROPA 2 is as inspiring as a day in a museum of contemporary art. More than 890 original paintings and exhibits, photographs and sculptures - from Damien Hirst to Gerhard Richter - accompany the ship and its guests around the world. This collection is complemented by changing exhibitions and lectures by artists on various art historical topics. 

In the pool or at the bar next to it – where does the perfect refreshment await? The relaxed meeting point on the pool deck serves snacks for breakfast and lunch, legendary waffles in the afternoon, fresh juices and coffee specialties. It offers a casual atmosphere until the evening.

Instead of in large concert halls, you can experience your star acoustically and up close - the concerts in the EUROPA 2 theatre thus have an almost private touch. Enjoy exclusive encounters with outstanding musicians.

A basic supply of medication is available on board. We ask our guests to bring their necessary medication with them in sufficient quantities.

Treatment on the ship is equivalent to a visit to the doctor abroad (flag state Malta). German fee guidelines and German health insurance do not apply on board. We therefore recommend taking out private foreign travel health insurance. Payment is made via the on-board account; billing via insurance card is not possible.

On board

There is no set dress code on board the EUROPA 2 during the day. In the evening, however, gentlemen visiting the restaurants on Deck 4 and the Sushi Restaurant Sakura should wear smart casual attire – namely, a long-sleeved shirt, a jacket or a summer suit; short trousers and T-shirts of any kind are not permitted. A tie is not required. In the Yacht Club Restaurant, it is not necessary to wear a jacket in the evening.

Ashore

For excursions or private trips ashore, clothing should be particularly comfortable and practical as well as suited to the route you will travel. Sturdy footwear is recommended and flat shoes are indispensable when on board the ship and ashore. For Zodiac excursions, especially in colder regions, we recommend that you wear waterproof clothing to keep you dry.

The private use of drones is not permitted on board our cruise ships. This applies during the cruise and during lay times in port, as well as at landing points in remote regions. In polar regions, Hapag-Lloyd Cruises places great value on respecting international agreements to protect sensitive natural environments and the animal kingdom in particular. In other regions of the world, approval for the use of drones ashore must be made by the passengers individually and without any intervention by Hapag-Lloyd Cruises. As well as a drone licence, which users must acquire in their country of origin, the relevant approval must be available for presentation at all times. Please take these instructions seriously, since passengers who are in breach of these regulations and licensing requirements will be liable to prosecution.

The EUROPA 2 is equipped with a satellite communications system. Provided the connection to the news satellite is available locally, you can make direct telephone calls to any destination worldwide. Please be aware that a charge is incurred immediately upon dialling a telephone number.

In the interest of all guests, we kindly ask you not to make calls on mobile phones in the restaurants.

If somebody from back home wishes to call you aboard the ship, the satellite communications system also allows for a direct telephone connection on board. Phone no. of the EUROPA 2: 00870 773233732

Please note that the caller will be charged as soon as he or she dials the telephone or fax number of the EUROPA 2. The caller can enquire with his telephone provider about the precise fees for a satellite phone call or fax; these are beyond the influence of Hapag-Lloyd Cruises.

The EUROPA 2 is GSM enabled by WMS. WMS is a provider of onboard connectivity for cruise ships and planes. This system enables you to use your personal mobile phone or smartphone at sea in areas where your mobile provider cannot generally guarantee connectivity. The system is normally available outside the 12-mile zone. Within the EU, the WMS system will be activated as soon as we are two miles away from the coast.

Via the guest portal, you have a direct Internet access. In addition, the whole ship is equipped with Wi-Fi hotspots via which you can access the Internet using a laptop or the tablet available in your suite. Internet use is free of charge for one hour per guest per day.
