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 Barriere Deauville
The course in the hills of Mont Canisy is very close to the mooring point of the EUROPA 2. This course dates back to 1929 and is one of the first created by Tom Simpson. There are three well-designed nine-hole courses, divided into red, white and blue, which provide every opportunity for players of different levels. The nicely planted fairways always weave past mature trees and expansive heathland. This type of layout demands a continuous straight line in terms of play.Thu 17.07.2025 Bordeaux, France – Golf du Medoc
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
- 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. The current baggage regulations of the relevant airline apply. In your travel documents, which you will receive about four weeks prior to departure, you will find relevant information about this. Excess baggage fees for golf equipment are normally to be paid at check-in.

- Minimum number of participants for additional courses: 10 persons.
