The HANSEATIC Spirit, part of Hapag-Lloyd Cruises’ luxurious expedition fleet, is a state-of-the-art vessel designed for sophisticated travellers seeking adventure without compromising comfort. Built for polar exploration, the ship accommodates up to 230 guests and offers an intimate, refined experience.
The ship boasts modern, elegantly appointed cabins and suites, ranging from spacious Panoramic Cabins with floor-to-ceiling windows to luxurious Grand Suites with private balconies and exclusive amenities. Each cabin is designed with contemporary furnishings, ample storage, and premium comfort.
You can savour gourmet cuisine at the ship’s three restaurants, including an à la carte dining venue, an elegant bistro L'Esprit, and an outdoor grill. The HANSEATIC Spirit also features an Ocean Spa with a sauna that offers ocean views and various wellness treatments. A well-equipped fitness area ensures you can stay active while at sea. The Observation Lounge and extensive deck space provide panoramic views, ideal for wildlife spotting and scenic photography.
The HanseAtrium serves as a stylish lounge and presentation space, where experts give engaging talks and briefings about upcoming explorations, while the Ocean Academy offers interactive workshops and educational experiences, deepening your understanding of the natural wonders encountered during your journey.
When it’s time to step off the ship — and it often will be — the expert expedition team will have a fleet of Zodiac boats ready to whisk you away to some of the world's most awe-inspiring destinations. For even more adventure, the ship’s marina offers an array of water sports, including kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, and snorkelling, depending on your destination.
