Hanseatic Inspiration

HANSEATIC inspiration is one of three luxury expedition ships operated by Hapag-Lloyd Cruises – designed for exceptional journeys to remote regions of the world. Equipped with ice class PC6, the vessel navigates polar waters such as the Arctic and Antarctic with safety and ease. At the same time, it offers the highest level of comfort: accommodating a maximum of 230 guests (199 on Antarctic voyages), it blends a spirit of exploration with five-star luxury.

The exterior and interior design by Ocean Architects draws on natural forms, warm materials, and flowing lines. This cohesive design concept runs through every space – from cabins and suites to the open decks, restaurants, and lounges. The interiors invite calm and reflect the aesthetics of the surrounding landscape.

The photographic work captures the interplay of design, functionality, and atmosphere. It presents the ship as a luxurious home away from home – whether drifting through Arctic ice or tropical river landscapes. From wide architectural views to detailed interior perspectives, the visual narrative highlights the unity of architecture, travel, and exclusivity.
