In the past, luxury was not casual and casual was not luxury. The EUROPA 2 is different. Enjoy smart casual travel and a discerning lifestyle in a modern, relaxed atmosphere - with no formal attire, fixed mealtimes or traditional seating plans in the restaurants on board the best cruise ship in the world, according to the Berlitz Cruise Guide 2020.
With a maximum of 500 guests, enjoy individually tailored service and the highest level of personal space - and an exceptionally luxurious ratio of crew to passengers. The EUROPA 2 combines the comfort of an exclusive resort with the flexibility of a yacht that can also visit small harbours and places off the beaten tracks. Great route diversity opens up whole new opportunities to discover unforgettable destinations.
