Hapag-Lloyd Cruises
Hapag-Lloyd's Hanseatic expedition ships for English speakers: which voyages are bilingual, what stays German, 2026-27 and 2027-28 Antarctic fares, Arctic trips, inclusions and booking terms.
Can English speakers book Hapag-Lloyd's expedition cruises?
Yes. Since January 2026 Hapag-Lloyd Cruises has run all its ships, including the three Hanseatic expedition ships, in German and English, and its booking engine takes euros or US dollars. Its 2026-27 Antarctic season is almost sold out: the only open cabins we found were suites from €29,370 per person on a 22-day Cape Town to Ushuaia voyage; 2027-28 fares start at €15,240. Escorted land programmes stay German-only.

Can English speakers book Hapag-Lloyd's expedition cruises?
Yes. Hapag-Lloyd Cruises switched all five of its ships, including the three Hanseatic expedition ships, to bilingual German and English operation from January 2026.1 Its English website says its cruises are bilingual, its FAQ gives the on-board language as German and English, and its list of included services on the expedition ships names German- and English-speaking ship and expedition management and service crew.234 Every departure on this page sails after that change.
What stays German is on land. Most of the cruise pages we read note that accompanied pre- and post-cruise programmes are conducted in German only, and some programmes carry German names, such as "Mehr Zeit in Buenos Aires".56 One undated page on the site still says the fleet's on-board language is German, with safety drills also run in English on what it calls the international ships, EUROPA 2 and HANSEATIC inspiration.7 That history is why Hanseatic Inspiration, named in 2019 as a bilingual expedition ship, has the longest English track record of the three.8
| Ship | Polar voyages, 2026-27 to 2027-28 | On-board language | English track record |
|---|---|---|---|
| HANSEATIC inspiration | Antarctica from Ushuaia and Buenos Aires; Iceland and Greenland in 2027 | German and English | Bilingual since 20198 |
| HANSEATIC spirit | Antarctica, a Ross Sea crossing, the Northwest Passage | German and English | Fleet-wide from January 20261 |
| HANSEATIC nature | Svalbard in 2027 | German and English | Fleet-wide from January 20261 |
Americans can book direct. The online booking engine runs in English and, with the country set to the United States, offered fares in US dollars as well as euros.9
Who owns Hapag-Lloyd Cruises, and which ships does it sail?
Hapag-Lloyd Cruises describes itself as a TUI Cruises GmbH company, registered in Hamburg, Germany, with Wybcke Meier as chief executive.10 Royal Caribbean Group says it owns 50% of the joint venture that operates TUI Cruises and Hapag-Lloyd Cruises.11 The brand traces its cruising back to 1891, when HAPAG's Augusta Victoria set out on what it calls the world's first pleasure cruise.12 Its expedition history includes MS Bremen (1990 to 2020), whose guests and crew found an island in the Antarctic on a Zodiac trip in 2003, now mapped as Bremen Island, and MS Hanseatic (1993 to 2018), which today sails as Heritage Adventurer for Heritage Expeditions.1213
Its expedition fleet today is three identical ships built by Vard, a Fincantieri subsidiary, each with 120 outside cabins and room for up to 230 guests.1412 Hapag-Lloyd says they have the highest ice class for passenger ships, PC6.15 On the Polar Class scale PC6 means summer and autumn operation in medium first-year ice, and Ponant's Le Commandant Charcot is rated PC2.1617

How much does a Hapag-Lloyd Antarctica cruise cost?
For 2026-27, almost nothing is left. Five of the six Antarctic voyages on Hapag-Lloyd's site were marked "Booked up" on October 15, 2026.2122232627 On the sixth, HANSEATIC spirit's 22-day Christmas voyage from Cape Town to Ushuaia leaving December 21, 2026, only suites remained: a Junior Suite at €29,370 per person sharing (US$32,307 in the booking engine) or a Grand Suite at €42,670 (US$46,937).9 That voyage calls at Tristan da Cunha, South Georgia, the South Orkneys and the Antarctic Peninsula, and its fare includes a charter flight from Ushuaia to Buenos Aires.25
The 2027-28 season is on sale with early-booking discounts that run to January 31 or February 28, 2027, depending on the voyage.295 These are the lowest open PLATINUM fares per person sharing, read October 15, 2026; per-day figures are our arithmetic.
| Voyage, ship | Dates | Days | Lowest open fare | Per day |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| South Georgia and Antarctic Peninsula, Inspiration | Feb 11 to 25, 2028 | 14 | €15,240 (US$17,526), balcony59 | €1,089 |
| Ushuaia round trip, Inspiration | Jan 7 to 21, 2028 | 14 | €16,390 (US$18,849), balcony9 | €1,171 |
| Buenos Aires to Ushuaia via the Falklands and South Georgia, Inspiration | Nov 26 to Dec 18, 2027 | 22 | €16,990 (US$19,538.50), outside299 | €772 |
| Semi-circumnavigation, Ushuaia to Lyttelton, Spirit | Jan 23 to Feb 24, 2028 | 31 | €28,870 (US$33,201), outside309 | €931 |
The euro fares are what the website shows; the dollar fares are what the booking engine quoted for a US booking the same day, 10% above the euro figure for 2026-27 and 2027 departures and 15% above it for 2027-28 ones (our arithmetic).9 The February 2028 Ushuaia round trip includes charter flights from Buenos Aires to Ushuaia and back.5 For how these fares sit in the wider market, see how much an Antarctica trip costs.
What is included in a Hapag-Lloyd expedition fare?
Full board, Zodiac landings, expert lectures, loaned parkas and boots, gratuities and harbour fees are all in the cruise-only price. On the Hanseatic ships that price also covers three restaurants in the evening, selected soft drinks and a minibar restocked daily, the Ocean Academy, loaned binoculars and Nordic walking poles, and one hour of free internet per guest per day.4 All gratuities on board are included.4 Junior and Grand Suites add a selection of spirits in the minibar.4
Extras include a drinks package at €44 per person per day, spa treatments, the hairdresser, laundry and treatment in the ship's hospital, which is billed separately as a doctor's visit abroad under the Maltese flag.3431 Every guest on an Antarctic voyage must complete a medical questionnaire before sailing.4
Where does Hapag-Lloyd sail in the Arctic?
To Svalbard, Greenland and the Northwest Passage, all on bilingual ships. The early-booking discount on these 2027 voyages ends October 31, 2026; fares are per person sharing.6
| Voyage, ship | Dates | Days | Lowest open fare |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hamburg to Longyearbyen via Norway, Nature | Jun 7 to 22, 2027 | 15 | €10,990 (US$12,089), outside199 |
| Northwest Greenland, Kangerlussuaq round trip, Inspiration | Jul 8 to 20, 2027 | 12 | €11,290 (US$12,419), outside69 |
| Reykjavik to Kangerlussuaq, Inspiration | Jun 23 to Jul 8, 2027 | 15 | €15,090 (US$16,599), balcony249 |
| Northwest Passage, Seward to Kangerlussuaq, Spirit | Aug 10 to Sep 8, 2027 | 29 | €27,990 (US$30,789), outside289 |
| Svalbard circumnavigation, Nature | Jun 22 to Jul 2, 2027 | 10 | Booked up20 |
The northwest Greenland voyage includes charter flights in and out of Kangerlussuaq and calls at Disko Bay and the Ilulissat Icefjord; the Svalbard voyage from Hamburg includes a charter flight from Longyearbyen to Germany.619 Our Northwest Passage cruises and Svalbard cruises guides compare other lines.
How many guests go ashore at once?
No more than 100 at one Antarctic site, so a full Hanseatic ship lands in groups. IAATO caps visitors ashore at 100 per site at a time, and each ship can carry up to 230 guests.3212 In 2025-26, IAATO counted 588 passengers on HANSEATIC inspiration's three Antarctic voyages and 591 on HANSEATIC spirit's three, close to 200 a voyage (our arithmetic).18 Hapag-Lloyd Cruises is listed as a member of IAATO and as a full member of AECO, the Arctic expedition operators' association.3334 Readers who want everyone ashore together should look at ships under 100 guests; our guide to small and large expedition ships explains the trade-off.
What are Hapag-Lloyd's booking and cancellation terms?
There are two fares, and the flexible one costs more. PLATINUM gives free choice of cabin, one free date change up to 90 days before departure and cancellation for a €300 per person fee up to 180 days out, with a deposit from 20%; SILVER, sold as the best price, allows fee-only cancellation only up to 365 days out and needs a deposit from 40%.35 Junior and Grand Suites can only be booked at the PLATINUM fare.35
| Days before departure | PLATINUM, up to 22 days, categories 1 to 9 | PLATINUM, over 22 days or Grand Suite | SILVER |
|---|---|---|---|
| 365 or more | €300 (US$330)31 | €300 | €300 |
| 364 to 210 | €300 | €300 | 25% |
| 209 to 180 | €300 | 20% | 25% |
| 179 to 150 | 20% | 30% | 30% |
| 149 to 90 | 25% | 35% | 35% |
| 89 to 45 | 50% | 50% | 50% |
| 44 to 30 | 60% | 60% | 60% |
| 29 to 10 | 75% | 75% | 75% |
| 9 to 1 | 85% | 85% | 85% |
These are the terms for bookings from December 2, 2025; a no-show costs 95%.31 The PLATINUM deposit rises to 25% for bookings 364 to 181 days out and 30% within 180 days, and within 30 days you pay in full.31
How does Hapag-Lloyd compare with Ponant and Seabourn?
Hapag-Lloyd's last open 2026-27 Antarctic voyage runs about twice as long as Ponant's or Seabourn's at a similar daily rate in dollars, but only suites are left. All three fares include a charter flight to or from Buenos Aires.253637 These are the lowest 2026-27 Antarctic fares still on sale when read in mid-October 2026, per person sharing.
| Line, ship | Departure | Length | Lowest open fare | Per day |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hapag-Lloyd, HANSEATIC spirit | Dec 21, 2026, Cape Town to Ushuaia | 22 days | €29,370 (US$32,307 in its booking engine), Junior Suite9 | €1,335 (US$1,469) |
| Ponant, Le Boréal | Dec 10, 2026, from Ushuaia | 10 nights aboard | $16,850, window stateroom36 | $1,685 |
| Seabourn, Seabourn Pursuit | Mar 13, 2027, from Buenos Aires | 11 days | $15,998, Veranda Suite37 | $1,454 |
Per-day figures are our arithmetic; Ponant's is per night aboard. Hapag-Lloyd prices in euros, so we compare using the dollar fare its own booking engine quoted for a US booking, not a conversion of ours. Pick Hapag-Lloyd for 2027-28 if you want 14 to 31 days that add South Georgia, the South Orkneys or the Weddell Sea to the Peninsula.529 Pick Ponant or Seabourn if you need a 2026-27 departure with standard cabins still for sale. For a wider field, see the best Antarctica cruise lines and luxury Antarctica cruises.
Who should skip Hapag-Lloyd Cruises?
Skip it if you want Antarctica in 2026-27 for less than about €29,000 per person, because only suites were left.9 Skip it if you want an all-English ship, since German remains one of two languages on board and escorted land programmes run in German only.35 Solo travelers should check each voyage: on northwest Greenland a single Category 1 outside cabin cost €14,887, 32% more than the per-person fare for two sharing (our arithmetic). Hamburg to Longyearbyen charges no solo surcharge in categories 1 to 8, and most Antarctic voyages cap it at 25%.91929
Our verdict
A German luxury expedition line that now sails bilingual, with gratuities, soft drinks and parkas included and long Antarctic itineraries that add South Georgia, the South Orkneys or the Ross Sea. Its 2026-27 Antarctic season is nearly sold out, its ships carry up to 230 guests, and escorted land programmes are German-only.
