MS EUROPA

A refined and cosy club atmosphere awaits you in the Havana Bar. Take a seat, choose a first-class cigar from the well-stocked humidor and order a drink to go with it. A place to indulge.

The cosy Club Belvedere attracts guests with its panoramic view and an excellent selection of tea and coffee specialities, small macarons and delicious cakes. On selected evenings, you can enjoy exciting readings and other entertainment here.

Start your evening with an aperitif, accompanied by some gentle melodies. The Piano Bar is also open in the daytime and is a great place for an afternoon coffee, reading the paper or enjoying some musical relaxation.

*Enligt Insight Guides 2025.

Baby monitors are available to borrow on board. This involves setting the telephone in your suite to monitor mode. As soon as any noise can be heard in your suite, a call will be made to one of the ship’s mobile phones, which we will provide you with. This means you will always know what’s going on in your suite. As we only have a limited number of baby monitors, please ask Reception or your suite stewardess for one as soon as possible. Please understand that it can take time to configure the devices.

In order to optimise your stay with your baby/toddler and allow you to relax as much as possible, we offer you the free Baby Welcome Package for children up to the age of 3. Travel with your children carefree, comfortably and without annoying excess baggage! In addition to nappies, baby care products and baby food, we are also happy to provide you with other items such as a travel cot, nappy bin and baby bath. The order form will be sent to you automatically with the provisional travel documents when you book with a child (up to and including the age of 3) approx. 3 months before the start of your holiday.

You can find more information about the Baby Welcome Package here.

On board

There is no set dress code on board the EUROPA during the day. In the evening, gentlemen visiting the restaurants on Deck 4 should wear smart casual attire – namely, a long-sleeved shirt, a jacket or a summer suit. Ladies should dress accordingly. Short trousers, T-shirts, bathrobes and flip-flops are not permitted in any of our restaurants, bars and lounges in the evening. In the Pearls and Lido restaurants, it is not necessary to wear a jacket in the evening.

There is a welcome and farewell evening on every cruise. On short cruises of up to four nights, there is only one welcome evening. On these occasions, the recommended dress code is evening wear (suit for men, ladies dress accordingly). Wearing a tie is generally not mandatory. Weather permitting, one White Night Pool Party will be held on the deck of the EUROPA per cruise. We would be very pleased if you would wear white clothing or a white accessory for this.

Ashore

For your excursions or private shore excursions, clothing should be comfortable and practical, as well as appropriate for the destination. Sturdy shoes are recommended, flats are essential for ship and shore. For excursions with the Zodiacs in colder regions we recommend to wear waterproof clothing and footwear to protect against wetness.

EUROPA har ett modernt sjukhus ombord på däck 3, under ledning av en erfaren fartygsläkare. Läkarmottagningens tider framgår av dagens program. Gäster som behöver medicinsk behandling uppmanas att kontakta fartygsläkaren direkt efter ombordstigning. Var vänlig ta med all nödvändig medicin i handbagaget (i mängd som räcker för hela kryssningen). Behandling mot sjösjuka debiteras separat om du använder våra medicinska tjänster. Vi erbjuder även trombosförebyggande medicin vid behov (mot avgift).

Behandling ombord motsvarar ett läkarbesök utomlands (flaggan är Malta). Tyska avgiftsriktlinjer och tysk sjukförsäkring gäller inte ombord. Vi rekommenderar därför att du tecknar en privat reseförsäkring med sjukvårdsförsäkring. Kostnader för behandling eller medicin debiteras ditt ombordkonto, betalning med försäkringskort är inte möjlig. Hapag-Lloyd kan inte ta ansvar för full ersättning från din personliga sjukförsäkring.

Omfattande medicinsk behandling ombord är begränsad. Till exempel är sjukhusets utrustning inte särskilt anpassad för vård av spädbarn och små barn. Dessutom är apotekets sortiment anpassat för allmänna sjukdomar och första hjälpen vid akuta situationer. Vid medicinska nödfall sker avstigning och transport till närliggande sjukhus på land, där kostnaderna bärs av patienten. Gäster som får medicinsk behandling bör ha med sig sina medicinska journaler.

The ship is equipped with a satellite communication system. If the connection to the communications satellite is available locally, this enables a direct telephone connection worldwide. Conversely, a direct telephone connection on board is also possible. Please note that even dialling the EUROPA telephone number is subject to a charge for the caller. The exact charges for a satellite telephone call on board can be obtained from your telephone provider; Hapag-Lloyd Cruises has no influence on this. The mobile phone network of the company WMS, a provider of mobile phone systems on board cruise ships and aircraft, allows you to use your mobile phone at sea in an area where your mobile phone provider can usually no longer provide a network (chargeable service; prices vary depending on the mobile phone provider).

Please consider that private radios and antennas are not permitted on board our ships.

*Due to a possible unstable satellite connection depending on the weather and the ship's position mainly in northern and southern sailing directions, this service cannot be guaranteed at all times. Please note that the Internet speed on board is not comparable with fast data connections ashore.

Restaurants

Enjoy the special atmosphere in our five restaurants with a free choice of seats and a dress code ranging from casual to elegant according to how you feel. 

Table reservation

Breakfast and lunch are taken in an open seating arrangement on board the EUROPA and you may choose where you sit. The same applies for the evening meal in the Europa Restaurant and Lido Cafe.

The maitre will be happy to accept table reservations for evening meals in the speciality restaurants (The Globe by Kevin Fehling, Venezia, Pearls) at the beginning of your cruise. Reservations cannot be made prior to departure.

The number of reservations you can make in these three restaurants is determined by the length of the cruise. On cruises with a duration of up to seven days, you can make reservations in one of the three restaurants. On cruises with a duration of eight to twelve days, you can make reservations in two of the three restaurants. For cruises of 13 days or more, you can make reservations in all three restaurants. Guests in SPA Suites and Penthouse Deluxe Suites are given priority for table reservations in The Globe by Kevin Fehling. We are happy to make table reservations on board at any time for all restaurants for guests in the Penthouse Grand Suites.
