  • “ŌHIA meets IN2BALANCE” from November 14 December 3, 2024
  • Meditation, yoga and hypnosis workshops in the middle of the ocean
  • Aleksandra Kop and Sarah Jegelka ensure holistic well-being

The cruise “ŌHIA meets IN2BALANCE” on board the EUROPA 2 in cooperation with the hip Berlin meditation studio ŌHIA is aimed at anyone looking for inner peace. As part of the special format cruise guests on the small luxury ship from Hapag-Lloyd Cruises will experience various relaxation techniques and learn how to “recharge their batteries” under the guidance of experienced trainers from November 14 to December 3, 2024.


As the small luxury ship sails from Bali, the hotspot for all mindfulness seekers and yoga enthusiasts, to Melbourne along the east coast of the fifth continent, the cruise invites guests to let their thoughts run free and focus on inner reflection. On board the EUROPA 2, the best cruise ship in the world according to Insight Guides Cruising & Cruise Ships 2024, there is a wide range of modern spiritual options offered, including meditations, sound baths, yoga, hypnosis workshops and individually tailored self-love programmes.

A transformative journey that brings body and mind into harmony
Both yoga enthusiasts and beginners can look forward to accompanying sound baths with crystal bowls, whose vibrations stimulate the theta waves in the brain and thus creating a deep state of relaxation. Using selected techniques guests learn to increase their energy and develop a holistic understanding of themselves.

ŌHIA – Berlin boutique drop-in meditation studio
The founders of ŌHIA, Elisa Gassner and Margarete Schellong, have experienced the positive effects of modern spiritual practices in their daily lives. They founded ŌHIA in 2020 out of a desire to enable others to do the same and to get in touch with themselves. Since then, their motto has been “Find Your Inner Peace”. They are sending two of their trainers for the IN2BALANCE cruise on board the EUROPA 2. The aim is for participants to find peace, clarity and optimise their energy system.

Sarah Jegelka, an expert in yoga and holistic coaching uses gentle touch, known as the healing touch, to release energetic blockages in order to create a state of deep relaxation. Her work aims to connect body, mind and soul. Aleksandra Kop, a renowned yoga and meditation teacher, has extensive experience in chakra balancing and mindfulness training. Elements of chakra teaching, which deals with energy centers, will also be taught.
