Discover a Different World with Hapag-Lloyd in 2015
Hapag-Lloyd’s MS Hanseatic is an expedition vessel like no other. The only of its kind in the world to have been given a 5-star rating, Hanseatic provides an exclusive and intimate expedition experience and has space aboard for just 175-guests. Because of her exclusivity and the fact she offers some truly spectacular voyages, I decided to use todays blog to put her in the spotlight and share with you five of her incredible itineraries.
Before I get to my five hand-picked expedition voyages, let me tell you what you can expect to find once onboard. As with any other passenger ship she is fully equipped and offers guests a little bit of everything. Of course your destinations are the ultimate adventure, but after an action packed day ashore exploring you may be pleased to know that Hanseatic offers a superb sauna, solarium and whirlpool – ideal for relaxation. Culinary treats are a plenty in the Marco Polo dining room and there is also a buffet option which can be enjoyed on the open deck. Evening entertainment aboard Hanseatic is relatively low key and can range from classical music recitals to lectures and group discussions based on your voyages next port of call.
