Hanseatic Inspiration

Hanseatic Inspiration is structural identical to the expeditions ships Hanseatic Nature and Hanseatic Spirit. This new expedition class has a mix of comfort and adventures. No other expedition ship has so much open deck space. What does this mean? Freedom, wind, broad horizons – and getting up-close to nature.

The new ships will also be extremely stable and fitted with exceptional equipment to allow them to move safely through polar waters. Certified with the highest ice class for passenger ships (PC6), they push broken pack ice aside with ease and can even break through ice up to 90 cm (35 in.) thick.

Please note: from October 2020, the HANSEATIC inspiration will be a smoke-free ship. This applies to all interior public areas as well as on deck, including the private balconies and verandas
