Individual travel arrangements to cruise departure point
Hamburg/Germany, departure 18.00 hrs
Hamburg
Board the EUROPA 2, leave the Elbe behind and set a course for the British Isles.
Relaxation at sea
Southampton/England/Great Britain , 7.00 – 18.00 hrs
Southampton
London* – the design, culture and lifestyle capital of Europe – is not far from the coastal city of Southampton. Discover all of the highlights* of the British capital or take a less conventional approach and visit the popular districts of Camden and Kew Gardens*. Alternatively, immerse yourself in the myths and legends of Stonehenge* and explore the medieval townscape of Salisbury*.
St. Peter Port/Guernsey/Channel Islands/Great Britain , 7.00 – 14.00 hrs
Sark/Channel Islands/Great Britain , 15.00 – 19.00 hrs
St. Peter Port
Cypress trees, bananas and palm trees next to English cottages and residences? It can only be Guernsey. Discover the spectacular coastal landscape on a hike along the cliffs* or on an exciting trip in the RIB*. A tour of St. Peter Port includes a visit to the citadel of Castle Cornet*, providing you with the ideal introduction to Guernsey’s capital.
Sark
No cars, few people and lots of natural beauty. La Seigneurie Gardens, home to subtropical vegetation, are particularly remarkable.
Falmouth/England/Great Britain , 8.00 – 18.00 hrs
Falmouth
Running past the southern coast of England, the Gulf Stream gives life to fascinating landscapes. Take a relaxed stroll along the promenades and marina in Falmouth. Alternatively, enjoy the highlights of Cornwall* or a panoramic trip to Saint Michael’s Mount and Land’s End*.
Tresco/Scilly Isles/Great Britain , 8.00 – 18.00 hrs
Tresco
Extremely small yet paradisiacal: Tresco has just 180 inhabitants – and more than 20,000 exotic plants. Explore the island at your own pace, such as on a walk to the ruins of Cromwell’s Castle and King Charles’s Castle.
Cobh (Cork)/Ireland , 8.00 – 19.00 hrs
Cobh (Cork)
Cork is known as the capital of Ireland – at least in terms of beauty and style. Connoisseurs can try some of the best brandies and visit the Old Midleton Distillery*. The RIB* safari promises an exciting trip along the coast to Kinsale.
Liverpool/England/Great Britain, arrival 19.00 hrs
Liverpool
Famous for football and the Beatles: welcome to Liverpool! Young, modern and urban, it unites tradition with modernity. One such example is the Albert Dock, where the warehouses are now home to cafes, restaurants and museums. Visit the largest Anglican cathedral* in Britain or explore Chinatown, the oldest Chinese district in Europe.
OUR TIP:
Meet the Fab Four
They made their mark on 20th century pop music like no other band – and remain influential to this day. Follow in the footsteps of the Beatles* in Liverpool. Fascinating musical history, close enough to touch.
Liverpool , departure 18.00 hrs
Dublin/Ireland, arrival 7.00 hrs
Transfer to scheduled flight to Germany
Dublin
Your cruise will come to an end in the capital city of pubs, although you can stay a little longer with our post-cruise programme*

A holiday is a chance to spend some time as a family – and on board the EUROPA 2, there are plenty of exciting opportunities for parents and children to discover the world together, or to go their own way if they prefer. In addition to a varied on-board programme of games and sports as well as arts and crafts, children and teens on family cruises can take part in specifically tailored excursions*. Our travel concierge service will be happy to suggest personalised family excursions* for you.
