MS Europa
The EUROPA is the only cruise liner worldwide to have been awarded the coveted distinction of 5 star plus seven times in a row by the Berlitz Cruise Guide 2007. Never before has there been so much space per guest and so much privacy to enhance your well-being. The EUROPA offers a maximum of 408 passengers only, suites with separate living and sleeping quarters. Each of these has a walk-in cupboard and almost all have a private veranda. One extra detail: once on board, each passenger receives his or her own e-mail address.
In the Europa restaurant with its wide panorama windows, all passengers dine at a single seating and feast à la carte. The more intimate speciality restaurants “Oriental” and “Venezia” serve deluxe Euro-Asiatic or Italian cuisine. In the Europa Lounge, our concert and ball room, international show stars perform on stage. Various bars and lounges, the library with Internet access and an auditorium for lectures and seminars guarantee relaxation in an exquisite atmosphere. A golf simulator, hairdresser and beauty salon, fitness room, sauna, massage facilities, wellness area and our swimming pool with magrodrome take care of your well-being. On the promenade the exclusive boutique and the jeweller Wemper tempt you to do some shopping. Let yourself be carried off to fascinating destinations or visit the most beautiful golf courses in the world.
All life stems from the sea, which is perhaps the reason why it fascinates mankind so much. With our cruisers, this fascination is boundless, since they are at home everywhere on the blue planet. The five-star-plus EUROPA is the first cruise ship being awarded five-star-plus by the Berlitz Cruise Guide from 2001 to 2007 and offers pure luxury. You will travel in the company of a maximum of 408 guests. Simply because we do not want to have the greatest number of guests, but the most satisfied.
Romance, style, exquisite comfort, and also the gentle farewell to those remaining behind – today, only travelling by ship matches the promises that were once associated with the word “travel”. The ship’s atmosphere, the unique and clear view of the open sea, as well as the variety of destinations turn cruises into a passion.
