The international preview brochure, due to be published in mid-December, will contain two international cruises on board Hanseatic, as well as three international expedition cruises on board Bremen.
The cruises on Bremen are intended to serve as a transition until the launch of the new international expedition ship, which will offer bilingual (English/German) cruises.
'We are preparing our fleet for the future with our two new expedition ships. We are very happy to have largely bridged the gap before the launch of the first ship, by extending our charter for the Hanseatic,' said Karl J. Pojer, ceo of Hapag-Lloyd Cruises.
The second five-star expedition newbuild will launch in October 2019.
The two new ships are being built by the Vard and will have the highest ice class for passenger ships (PC6). They will both accommodate up to 230 guests, and up to 199 guests on Antarctic cruises.
