Booming landscapes and inner reflection. Harmony and consensus. Mysteries and misunderstandings. Correct and sharpen your view of Japan like never before. The expedition ships of Hapag-Lloyd Cruises let you look deep into the soul of the island kingdom. By the time your Far East adventure comes to an end, you will agree with Buddha’s maxim: it is better to travel well than to arrive.

Untouched and primal, remote and awe-inspiring: the Aleutian Islands open up a rare history book of the earth to you. Or let our expedition ships take you to the heart of the Alaskan wilderness, home to bears, bald eagles and whales. Topped off by one of the most beautiful ship passages in the world, the Inside Passage.
