At anchor
Individual travel arrangements to Hamburg, departure 18.00 hrs
Evening cruise on the Elbe
This premiere brings together seven rivers in five countries: the Elbe, Thames, Seine, Loire, Gironde, Tagus and Guadalquivir. Wonderful-sounding names with evidence of great history on their shores – embedded in picturesque nature. You can already enjoy the first river panorama during the evening cruise on the Elbe all the way to its mouth in the North Sea.
Relaxation at sea
London/United Kingdom, arrival 8.00 hrs
With red double-decker buses, Big Ben and Trafalgar Square, London has a lot for you to discover. Sailing under Tower Bridge in the early morning, the HANSEATIC nature reaches its berth directly in the city. This means that you’ll only have short distances for plenty of explorations or a visit to Windsor Castle*. Would you rather sink into an armchair with tea and scones or enjoy a pint in a cosy pub? Our travel concierge will be happy to organise the perfect evening for you*.
London, departure 9.30 hrs
Cruise on the Thames from Tower Bridge
Cruise on the Seine
Rouen/France, arrival 13.00 hrs
Enjoy a smooth transition from summer to mild autumn weather in France, as nature slowly adds shades of red and yellow to the trees. A cruise on the Seine showcases the metamorphosis of nature before the Gothic cathedral and the Le Gros-Horloge astronomical clock in Rouen tell of turbulent times. A walk through the old town will also take you to the market square where Joan of Arc met her tragic end in 1431. You’ll be on the trail of Claude Monet* in Giverny or you can admire Norman abbeys* in the valley of the Seine*.
Rouen, departure 13.30 hrs
St Malo, from 9.00 to 18.30 hrs
Defying the daily tides and the privateers of the past, two locations on the coast are particularly impressive: the fortified city of St Malo and the monastery island of Mont-Saint-Michel*. Both are shaped by the tides just like Cancale – the Breton oyster capital*.
Relaxation at sea
Belle-Ile, from 7.00 to 18.00 hrs
Wild, vast and wonderful: Belle-Ile shows off its autumnal beauty. Alongside unspoilt nature, experience the dreamily romantic harbour of Le Palais as you stroll along the promenade.
Nantes, arrival 7.00 hrs
In Nantes, too, the splendour of churches, kings and dukes competes with the autumnal colours. The parks of the mansions and castles on the Loire* are particularly attractive in the light of October.
Nantes, departure 7.00 hrs
Cruise on the Loire
Bordeaux, arrival 10.00 hrs
Bordeaux is famous for cultural treasures and culinary delights. The HANSEATIC nature will moor overnight here, giving you lots of time to wander through the illuminated old town into the evening. An excursion to the Medoc wine region with a visit to a vineyard* is bound to quench not only your thirst for knowledge. The Atlantic, oysters and idyllic sandy beaches characterise the coastal resort of Arcachon and Europe’s largest sand dune*, almost 3 km (1.9 mi.) long and over 100 m (328 ft) high.

Cruise on the Guadalquivir
Seville/Spain, arrival 15.00 hrs (subject to the tides)
Overnight stay on board
The cruise on the Guadalquivir takes you deep into the heart of Andalusia. Only a small ship such as the HANSEATIC nature is able to approach Seville like this. Get to know the city on some explorations in the historic centre or enjoy the last evening of your cruise with tapas and a glass of sherry.
