Premiere routes reward repeat travellers
Hapag-Lloyd Cruises' 2027/28 announcement puts unusual routes at the centre: an Indian Ocean winter season, a Great Lakes and St Lawrence combination, the Philippines and the American West Coast.
2027 itinerary highlights
These premiere routes are promising leads for travellers who have visited the obvious ports. Check each departure: a season spanning two years does not mean every route sails in calendar 2027.
Who should put it on the shortlist?
Well-travelled guests who want a small luxury or expedition ship and a less familiar itinerary. The line's German-speaking roots are an important practical distinction.
Before you book
Verify onboard and excursion language, ship, inclusions and expedition requirements. EUROPA, EUROPA 2 and the expedition ships are not interchangeable.
