MS Europa World Tour

Cruising around the world courtesy of Hapag Lloyd Cruises

Travelling Around the World with the EUROPA in 2008/2009 – Share the Fascination.

“To see the world” - that is undoubtedly the wish of everyone who has kept alive his or her curiosity about the new and unusual. This wish could come true for you on 7 November 2008. This is the day we and the EUROPA will leave Dubai and head out into the open sea. Our destination? Dubai. But between departure and arrival there are 165 days and the entire world. You will see the enchanting islands in the Indian Ocean, the wildly romantic landscapes of South Africa and the majestic glaciers in Patagonia. The South Seas, home to the yearning for far-away places; Australia, where European heritage is given an attractively exotic touch; Asia, where antiquity and future meet; and finally, the Arabian Peninsula. You will experience numerous cultures, encounter different customs and temperaments, warm-hearted hospitality and complex rituals. The world will touch you and, after your return, appear a little more worth living and keeping. And if your diary is already too full or if you want to spend Christmas at home, you can this time take the fascinating, 106-day alternative to the Trip Around the World, the Grand Voyage, from Valparaiso to Dubai.

Your Exclusive Privileges - Start of the Trip Around the World in Dubai (11/6 – 11/07/2008) Before you and the EUROPA head out to sea, we offer you, our world trip guests, an exclusive day in Dubai. After an overnight stay at the Hotel Park Hyatt Dubai, join us for a cultural and culinary tour of discovery through this fascinating city where the face of Arabia’s future can be seen today.
