Review: MS Europa 9/21 - 10/4/2016

I recently returned from a 13 night cruise on MS Europa from Nice to Barcelona. It was part of the first leg of the 337 night world cruise. BTW 7 cruisers are on for the whole world cruise. Our ports of call were Monaco, Portofino, Portoferraio, Civitavecchia, Capri, Lipari, Messina (replacement for Syracus), Palermo, Ibiza and Palma de Mallorca where we stayed overnight.

 

On the only sea day we celebrated the 17th birthday of MS Europa. On the first day in Palma de Mallorca the gourmet event Europas Beste 2016 took place onboard - 12 chefs combining 18 Michelin stars, 9 vineyards and more food experts presenting their products.

 

Of course the main language onboard is German and especially some of the evening entertainment did require German language skills. But we also had a group of Mexicans onboard who spoke - of course - Spanish and English.

 

I wrote a lenghty review about this trip with more than 1,600 photos. The text is in German but usually google translate works pretty well. And of course there are more photos than text ;-). So enjoy!

 

My personal highlight was anchoring at Capri - my favorite island - and passing by the island in the morning during sunrise (of course with Champagne being served on the outer deck and music playing).

Thank you for your review--- the photos are excellent.
