The MS Europa is owned and operated by the German company Hapag-Lloyd. It is the 4th ship to be named Europa in
the company's history. For nine years in row, the MS Europa was awarded the title "best cruise ship in the world" by Ward-Ranking and Berlitz.
The Europa was designed as a
sleek, streamlined luxury cruise ship. Her design is comparable to other luxury ships such as Silversea Cruises Silver Shadow. Europa was one of the first ships designed with an Azipod propulsion
system, implemented to reduce vibration towards the stern of the ship.
Being designed as a luxury ship, all of her cabins are described as suites. There are 204 suites. Out of the 204
suites, 168 have their own private verandah. The largest suites are 915sq. ft, and the smallest are 291sq. ft.
