LUXURY CRUISES & EXPEDITION CRUISES

The Hapag-Lloyd Cruises fleet

the world’s best moments

MS EUROPA

The EUROPA has been setting standards in the luxury cruise sector for many years. What distinguishes it? Character, individual service and a crew that makes the trip something special for discerning guests – awarded the 5 stars+ category, together with the EUROPA 2, she is considered the best cruise ship in the world (according to the Berlitz Cruise Guide). With a maximum of 400 guests and 285 crew members, the EUROPA offers plenty of space and freedom for extraordinary moments due to her small size. “The Globe” by Kevin Fehling and the caviar restaurant “Pearls” represent high-class cuisine.

Once a year the EUROPA goes on a world tour: Take advantage of the unique opportunity to travel to many exciting destinations around the world in a short time while working on board. From a beach BBQ in the Caribbean to a champagne reception on Easter Island. Countless #WorldClassMoments lie ahead of you on a trip around the world with MS EUROPA.

MS EUROPA 2

The EUROPA 2 is the epitome of casual luxury and is considered the best cruise ship in the world (according to the Berlitz Cruise Guide). Haute cuisine, exclusive entertainment, the award-winning Ocean Spa and the most luxurious suites on the high seas – the “big sister” of the EUROPA creates plenty of space and still offers the flexibility of a yacht.

Besides the best jobs on board in the luxury sector the most unusual places in the world away from the usual routes await you on the EUROPA 2. Be part of the crew on board the EUROPA 2 and help shape it to become what it is: the best cruise ship in the world. Make the most of the opportunity and apply now for a job on board MS EUROPA 2.
