Hanseatic Inspiration Expedition Cruise Ship
The HANSEATIC inspiration was launched in October 2019. Cruise the Great Lakes with the wind in your hair and the spray on your skin – become an explorer under an open sky. This is why our ships have more open deck space than any other expedition ship. The HANSEATIC inspiration will become your front row seat in autumn on the lakes between Canada and the USA. Watch as the vast wilderness meets vivid history all around you.
Fine Cuisine
Come with us on a culinary voyage of discovery around the globe: on board, three spacious first-class restaurants create a unique and indulgent combination of expedition spirit and international gourmet cuisine. Spend your days and evenings however you wish thanks to flexible mealtimes, a free choice of seating and attentive 24-hour cabin service.
International gourmet cuisine – full board: early-bird breakfast, breakfast, bouillon, afternoon coffee/tea time, lunch and dinner (three restaurants to choose from in the evening with flexible opening hours).
