MS Europa 2 (2013-built, last refurbished in 2020 May) is the second "Europa"-named Hapag-Lloyd cruise ship following MS Europa (1999). The vessel was constructed by STX France (Saint-Nazaire shipyard). This is a sleek-design (resembling a boutique hotel) top-luxury ship operated with all-inclusive deals on unique and exotic itineraries.

MS Europa 2 cruise ship deck plan shows a total of 251 staterooms for 516 passengers served by 370 staff-crew. The boat has 11 decks (8 passenger-accessible, 5 with cabins), 8 restaurants (including 3 specialty /all without surcharges and open-seating), 6 lounges and bars, culinary school, large wellness complex (Ocean Spa & Fitness), 1 swimming pool (covered with a retractable roof), 3 Jacuzzies (outdoor whirlpool hot tubs), 4 elevators.

MS Europa 2 is among the most expensive cruise ships in the world. Unlike other Hapag-Lloyd cruise ships, Europa 2 is a less formal (no formal dress code), more contemporary and family-oriented vacationship. The onboard experience is marked by bilingual superior service (all the staff and crew speaks both German and English), family-friendly activities and sophisticated enrichment programs. The interior design features high ceilings, sprawling Atrium Lobby area, intimate and cozy public spaces (industry’s highest space ratio), subtle colors, original art pieces, steel, and limestone throughout.
