And in July, the fun starts all over again.
We’re excited to announce we’ll […]

Voyages beginning in January 2012 remain […]
Click here to continue reading! →Coming hot on the heels of some major ship refurbishments is the announcement by German-based Hapag Lloyd Cruises that their MS HANSEATIC has just returned from a nearly two-week refit at the Blohm + Voss shipyard in Hamburg.
With more than 780 individual tasks to accomplish in just 13 days, over 400 shipyard employees […]
