The highlights of this cruise
On this exceptional cruise from New York to Panama, you will celebrate a unique Christmas and a spectacular New Year’s Eve on board the EUROPA 2 – dream destinations included.
Your cruise during the most beautiful time of the year begins with an overnight stay in the harbour of the dazzling metropolis of New York. In Charleston, experience the charm of the southern states on a stroll* through the old town, which resembles a museum, or take an excursion to Boone Hall Plantation*, which was the filming location for the series Torches in the Storm. On the following two days at sea, the festively decorated EUROPA 2 offers you a very special setting for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. After the festive season, experience Miami in a flashy and colourful way on a guided walk* through the famous Art Deco district, before crystal-clear waters await you on Jost Van Dyke Island at the magnificent White Bay Beach. The island of St Martin presents itself elegantly and under two flags during a round trip*, or you can take part in a regatta* on original America’s Cup sailing yachts – an unforgettable experience. Discover Martinique and its contrasting nature on an excursion in an all-terrain vehicle*; alternatively, you can visit a rum distillery* and sample the island speciality on the spot. Marigot Bay on St Lucia offers you water sports experiences in a league of their own: choose between a catamaran trip* and a deep-sea fishing tour*. You can marvel at the wonderfully colourful capital of Bonaire, Kralendijk, from an electric tuk-tuk*, before coral reefs and the underwater world in Willemstad on Curacao entice you on a fascinating excursion in a semi-submarine*. To round off your cruise, enjoy a catamaran trip* with a snorkelling stop on Aruba, past long white beaches. Then the EUROPA 2 will bid you farewell in Colon.

Important note:
Minimum of 16 participants
Starting from the American mainland with its true top courses, the second half of the cruise takes you to the Caribbean. Who hasn’t always dreamed of following in the footsteps of great golf legends and playing on a former Ryder Cup course? Or taking on the challenge of a championship course by the metropolis of Miami directly on the Atlantic. It’s an advantage if you can give your ball the right direction. At the end of the cruise, you can look forward to a very special course – one on which the typical leaning divi-divi trees of Aruba dictate the direction of the wind.

Tue, 23.12.2025, Charleston, USA – The Links at Wild Dunes Resort
Tom Fazio’s first course is located at the northern tip of the Isle of Palms and is a mixture of links and parkland course. The highly undulating original terrain of the dune landscape characterises the fairways, so you have to be prepared for constantly changing conditions. Although the terrain originally consists of dune sand, there are only very few bunkers directly on the course, which are smaller sand hazards. Instead, generous “wasteland areas” accompany the entire length of the fairways.Fri, 26.12.2025, Miami, USA – Crandon Golf at Key Biscayne
On the island of Key Biscayne off the coast of Miami, a typical American parkland course awaits within easy swinging distance of the International Tennis Center. Almost every one of the 18 holes has direct contact with the surrounding water or the neighbouring mangroves or their foothills. The seven artificial water hazards and the Atlantic Ocean flowing around the course contribute to this. Five of the extremely well-maintained fairways head directly towards Biscayne Bay, adding a visual wow factor to this course.Sun, 04.01.2026, Willemstad, Curacao – Blue Bay Golf
The very spacious layout is in harmony with the surrounding residential area. The 18 fairways are generous in width and orientated relatively straight forwards. Nevertheless, some of the resulting playing areas are very heavily undulated and therefore need to be properly assessed before the shot. Given the expansiveness of the club grounds, a golf cart is absolutely essential – especially as some of the breathtaking holes stretch all the way to the Caribbean Sea.Mon, 05.01.2026, Oranjestad, Aruba – Tierra del Sol Golf Course
This 18-hole golf course is embedded in the very sandy northern tip of the island. This has resulted in an interesting mixture of desert dunes and fairways. Between large cacti and the divi-divi trees typical of the island, which almost all lean in a south-westerly direction due to the constant wind, you will be playing on manageably wide fairways that reveal the original terrain time and again. The wind turns this round of golf into an adventure with several influencing factors.General Information
- In order to guarantee a comfortable flow of play for all golfers, we have determined a basic speed, which is sufficient for a playing time of 4.5 to 5 hours on foot (covering 18 holes with a trolley).
- Due to tournaments, renovations, etc. at the various golf clubs, our Golf & Cruise programme is subject to change at short notice.
- Golf & Cruise voyages allow all players with a handicap of 36 or less to play on courses all over the world.
- Additional courses can only be booked in conjunction with the basic package.
- The reservation of e-carts cannot always be guaranteed due to local availability and weather conditions. You may, therefore, have to play and walk just with trolleys - possibly even on hilly courses. Please consider this when planning/booking your Golf & Cruise package.
- Halfway refreshments are always ordered via the respective golf club; we have no influence on the quality of the snacks. We kindly ask for your understanding.
- When booking a Golf & Cruise package and flights through Hapag-Lloyd, we will register your golf equipment directly with the airlines – when possible and required.

Excess baggage fees for golf equipment are normally to be paid at check-in.
