The Hanseatic Inspiration, introduced in 2019, gave the Great Lakes a fresh design from Hapag-Lloyd. German tradition makes these Hapag-Lloyd cruises special. Bilingual cruises offer English and German activities. Though most popular with Germans, the cruises attract tourists worldwide.
On their North American cruise ships, passengers can see the Great Lakes, St. Lawrence Seaway, New England, and more. Even veteran Great Lakes cruisers find Hapag-Lloyd's sailings new, with adventures around every turn, from the travellers you meet on board to the European-perspective excursions.
