The highlights of this cruise
Five countries lie on this varied route along the sun-drenched Atlantic coast. Let yourself be pampered on board the EUROPA 2 and look forward to fantastic impressions.
“Moin” is the motto in Hamburg. With this casual greeting, the crew of the EUROPA 2 welcomes you warmly. After a day at sea, Antwerp awaits you, the home of the famous painter Peter Paul Rubens. Discover the brilliant artist on a guided tour of the museum*. In Honfleur, France, you can look forward to an exclusive tour in a “Duck”, or Citroen 2CV**, through Normandy and to the elegant seaside resort of Deauville*. It will be “very British” by the time you reach the Channel Islands. Soak up the flair in St Helier on Jersey and take an extraordinary tour in a vintage bus* in Saint Peter Port on Guernsey The charm of romantic fishing villages, thatched cottages and wild nature make Cornwall unique. On a drive from the Isle of Portland, discover the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Stonehenge*. Quite different but equally enchanting and more than idyllic is the natural beauty of the Isles of Scilly, St Mary’s and Tresco. After a day at sea, the south-western coast of France is in sight: head up the Gironde River to Bordeaux amidst beautiful scenery. Sample fine wines at Chateau de La Dauphine*, relax on a boat trip* in the bay of Arcachon and enjoy freshly caught oysters*. In Bilbao, a visit to the Guggenheim Museum,* an architectural jewel, is a wonderful way to end your cruise. In the largest city of the Basque country, the EUROPA 2 will bid you farewell.

Golf pro on this cruise: Daniel Lamprecht - More about our Pros
On course for the English Channel. Between Europe and Great Britain, four extraordinary golf courses are on the Golf & Cruise programme. The MS EUROPA 2 will first sail along the western coast of central Europe, then make a detour to the southern coast of Great Britain and from there return to the European mainland. And at each destination, you will come upon the finest opportunities to play golf – and sporting experiences that you will be happy to take home with you.

Wed 09.07.2025 Antwerp, Belgium – Rinkven Golf Club
Located not far from the city centre, this course offers 36 holes divided into a north and a south course. The relatively slim design of the entire course leads through mature trees, which limit the playing areas accordingly. Both courses have numerous water hazards that repeatedly seek contact with the fairways. However, if you manage not to get distracted, you will greatly enjoy your round of golf in this landscape.Fri 11.07.2025 Honfleur, France – Golf Barrière Saint-Julien
Golf Barrière Saint-Julien - designed in the British style - offers golf lovers an unrivalled experience in the midst of breathtaking scenery. Nestled in the picturesque surroundings of Normandy, the course combines challenging fairways with a charming ambience,
that will delight beginners and experienced players alike.Thu 17.07.2025 Bordeaux, France – Cabot Bordeaux
This multi-award-winning golf course lies in what is possibly the world’s most famous wine-growing region. The Chateaux Course has been a special feature of this 36-hole course since 1989. The typical parkland course blends harmoniously into the surrounding natural environment with its fairways, whilst always maintaining a link to the nearby wine-growing areas. At the wine tasting that follows your game, you can look forward to a lovely glass of red from the region.General Information

- Golf & Cruise voyages allow all players with a handicap of 36 or less to play on courses all over the world.
