HANSEATIC nature, HANSEATIC inspiration & HANSEATIC spirit

The 5-star* German-speaking luxury expedition ships with the highest ice class for passenger ships, PC6

The identical expedition ships MS HANSEATIC nature, MS HANSEATIC inspiration, and MS HANSEATIC spirit meet all requirements for expeditions in polar regions and the tropics alike and set new standards in terms of comfort.

With up to 230 passengers (or 199 passengers on Antarctic expeditions and circumnavigations of Spitsbergen) and the highest ice class for passenger ships, the HANSEATIC nature, HANSEATIC inspiration, and HANSEATIC spirit offer the opportunity to venture deeper into regions that are inaccessible to larger cruise ships.

The retractable glass balconies on the sun deck give you the unique feeling of floating above the ocean. In addition, many open decks offer you the opportunity to get closer to the wonders of nature. 

All ships feature a spacious spa area with outdoor space, a pool area with bar, a spacious fitness area, observation deck and lounge with permanently installed binoculars, three restaurants: main restaurant, specialty restaurant, and bistro restaurant, as well as a main lounge equipped with state-of-the-art presentation technology. 

Of course, the focus here is also on environmentally friendly technology that reduces emissions and protects nature in the destination areas.

* According to Berlitz Cruise Guide 2020 (HANSEATIC nature). The identically constructed HANSEATIC inspiration and HANSEATIC spirit will be officially classified at a later date and offer the same standard of comfort and service.
