** The very popular Amazon River expeditions will be continued in 2017: with its small size - 175 guests - shallow draught and its on-board zodiacs, HANSEATIC can cruise deeper into the jungle of the Amazon than other cruise ships. The Amazon expedition will take guests 4,000 km (2,485 mi) from Iquitos in Peru to the mouth of the river in the Atlantic.

Cruise example expedition Amazon: “The Source of Life in a Green Paradise”: a 16-day itinerary from April 27 – May 13, 2017, from Iquitos/Peru to Belem/Brazil, Rates start at €11,540 (£8,660, $13,850), per person, including charter flight (Lima to Iquitos), cruise only.

** Cold water expeditions – seven cruises to choose from:

With the highest ice-class for passenger ships; a crew experienced in polar voyages; and equipped with 14 robust zodiacs that allow for landings on untouched shores, the HANSEATIC will cruise the Antarctica and Arctic on seven exciting itineraries - cracking the pack ice apart to open a route to breathtaking landscapes and an impressive animal kingdom.
