The greatest adventure on earth is the exploration of the unimaginably rich diversity of nature. Give your curiosity free rein on board the BREMEN: whether in the jungles of the Amazon, in the realm of the polar bears and whales or while snorkelling amid the coral reefs of a South Seas island. We take you on spectacular routes to the wonders of this world.

Shallow draught, the highest ice class for passenger ships and twelve highly manoeuvrable rubber boats on board, our Zodiacs, characterise the BREMEN as the “Explorer with a Sense for Adventure”.



The ship has been designed to sail through thick pack ice, to penetrate into narrow fjords and rivers or to land in hidden bays. There is no other way for a maximum of 164 guests to experience the primeval world first-hand. Our study cruise format “Expedition Knowledge” will show you just how fascinating the familiar can be when seen from unusual perspectives. These cruises of intellectual adventure will add to your knowledge and awareness – from the architecture of the Baltic states to the British art of gardening.

A cruise on the COLUMBUS is above all a trip for the senses. Every new place you visit and every new culture you meet is colourful and rich in varied aspects. Our lecturers will competently prepare you for all of the destinations. Our tour guide team from the ship is of course always there on perfectly organized excursions.



This small 3-star-plus ship demonstrates on more than 30 routes around the globe just how relaxed and uncomplicated the most beautiful form of travel can be. Regardless of whether you decide to take a short introductory cruise on the Baltic Sea, set course for the coasts on the Indian Ocean or go on a trip around the world: you check in just once, then leave everything else up to the experienced crew of the COLUMBUS.



Everything you could wish for is there: highly personal service, friendly room furnishings, a variety of ways to occupy your leisure time, good entertainment in the evening, restaurants offering culinary delights, likeable fellow travellers with whom you can share your experiences — and much, much more.

On the EUROPA you'll find only suites – most with their own balcony – always spacious and stylishly appointed, and all provided with first-class service. Accommodations are never less more than 290 sq. ft, assuring privacy and relaxation. Don't be surprised to find the most modern fixtures – and a private e-mail connection with personal e-mail address to be reached in every suite.

Not to mention the 24-hour service in the privacy of your suite.



The saltwater pool, 65 feet long, can be partially covered by the hydraulic Magrodome – so you can have a swim regardless of the weather. Then nourish your spirit with a great book in the library. Rejuvenate in the salon and sauna, engage in a game of shuffleboard or table tennis, join an aerobics workout. Play the world's top 21 courses with the golf simulator. Browse in the shops or just stroll on the decks.

A fantastic, wonderful, trip. Hanseatic is a superb ship -- beautiful cabins, wonderful food, impeccable service -- lots of warm woods, expensive wools and silks, and brass. Its Antarctic voyages are handled with great expertise and efficiency. The ship is surprisingly luxurious for an expedition vessel, but it goes everywhere. Zodiac landings are a major feature of the cruise, and all were very well executed by the crew. Antarctica is not for everyone, but there is no better way to see it than from the Hanseatic. It is far from inexpensive, but worth every penny that one pays.



Although Hanseatic is only a 9,000 ton ship (making it smaller than Seabourn ships, but larger than the Sea Goddesses), it seems very spacious because of the high proportion of public rooms. The Observation Lounge at the front of the shop, up top, is a great place to sit and watch the incredible scenery -- it is finished in high quality walnut panelling, with huge windows. The Marco Polo Dining Room is a beautiful room, and the Columbus Lounge (informal dining room) is a bright and cheerful place to eat breakfast and lunch. In Antarctica the pool (for obvious reasons!) was empty, and, thank God, there is no casino. There is a small gym, a sauna and a little chapel
