STX Europe shipyard at
Saint-Nazaire in France. On 29 April 2013, the vessel was handed over to Hapag Lloyd. She was christened on the 10th May 2013, during the 824th
Hamburg Port Anniversary .
Europa 2 ‘s maiden voyage started on 11 May 2013 for 14 nights.
Meanwhile the ship is mainly used for cruises in the Mediterranean. Europe 2 , like the MS Europe , as well operated Hapag-Lloyd Cruises, is compared to other cruise ships relatively small, so that she can operate away from the classic routes, e.g. on the Amazon River and in the Norwegian Fjords .
