My wife and I have recently returned from our second cruise on Hapag-Lloyds Europa 2.

 

On our first cruise she exceeded expectations and on this one the trend continued as we doubled our time on her.

We sailed for two weeks, anti clockwise around the South China Sea, with just three sea days.

I get your great blogs directly emailed to me and enjoy them immensely. Thanks so much for all the time and talent you put into your postings and pics!

i am curious to read "Le Havre" - i do not find it a special port for cruise ships. Ships able to dock due to the size should go to Nantes - or to Rouen a special sailing on the Seine however to be avoided on a Sunday. ( as last time on europa 2 )
