Only the best for young cruise guests

It goes without saying that Hapag-Lloyd Cruises' ships meet the highest safety and quality standards. We have given the well-being of our younger guests lots of thought and ensured first class safety standards on board ranging from glazed railings to safety sockets. For us quality also means only entrusting childcare responsibilities to experienced, trained staff members. Or offering a service like the free Baby Welcome Package which enables young parents on the EUROPA and EUROPA 2 to order extensive baby equipment for their suite, thereby saving considerable luggage space.

Boredom really can stay at home

Young cruise guests have their areas on board the EUROPA and the EUROPA 2:

  • EUROPA offers a playroom for kids aged between 4 and 12. Older children are welcome to take part in this programme.

  • EUROPA 2 offers three different areas: the Knopf Club* for 2- to 3-year-olds, the Kids’ Club for 4- to 10-year-olds and the Teens’ Club for 11- to 15-year-olds. These areas are the ideal headquarters for keeping our younger guests happy and are the perfect place for meeting up on board and quickly making new friends.

The EUROPA 2 and the EUROPA both offer a varied programme for young seafarers: Go on treasure hunts, learn how to make a genuine sailor's knot or watch the captain at work. All this is of course under the loving care of our qualified child supervisors.
