What kind of ship is the HANSEATIC spirit?
HANSEATIC spirit is the third of three ships in Hapag-Lloyd Cruises' HANSEATIC series. It was built by VARD in Norway, part of the Fincantieri group.
Because it's a small ship with a capacity of about 230 passengers, it can call at ports that larger ships cannot enter, as well as at locations rich in natural beauty. As indicated by the large "EXPEDITION CRUISES" written on the outside of the ship, the focus is on exploratory cruises that allow you to enjoy the scenery and nature up close.
