The cruise line’s ceo, Karl J. Pojer laid a specially produced coin in the first steel block. Like sister ship Hanseatic nature once the ship’s hull has been completed, work on the interior fittings will be performed at the shipbuilder‘s outfitting pier at VARD Langsten in Norway and the passenger cabins will be completed.
After successful sea trials, the ship will be handed over to her new owner in October 2019.
Both ships will be able to accommodate up to 230 guests – and up to 199 guests on Antarctic cruises. They will also have the highest ice class for passenger ships – PC6 – and will operate in the polar regions (the Arctic and Antarctic), as well as in warmer destinations such as the Amazon.
After many years, the Hamburg-based cruise operator will return to the Great Lakes in North America with Hanseatic inspiration. Which will have a retractable bridge wing, allowing the ship to pass through narrow locks.
