Short trousers, T-shirts, bathrobes and flip-flops are not permitted in any of our restaurants, bars and lounges in the evening. In the Pearls and Lido restaurants, it is not necessary to wear a jacket in the evening.
There is a welcome and farewell evening on every cruise. On short cruises of up to four nights, there is only one welcome evening. On these occasions, the recommended dress code is evening wear (suit for men, ladies dress accordingly). Wearing a tie is generally not mandatory. Weather permitting, one White Night Pool Party will be held on the deck of the EUROPA per cruise. We would be very pleased if you would wear white clothing or a white accessory for this.

Guests who require medical treatment should contact the ship's doctor directly after embarkation.

Hapag-Lloyd cannot assume liability for the reimbursement of treatments in full from your respective personal health insurance.
Extensive medical treatment on board is only possible to a limited extent. For example, the equipment of the on-board hospital is not specially designed for the care of babies and small children. In addition, the assortment in the on-board pharmacy is equipped for general illnesses as well as for initial emergency treatment. In the event of a medical emergency, the patient is disembarked and taken to a nearby hospital ashore. The associated costs are borne by the patient. Guests receiving medical treatment should carry their medical records with them.
