YouTube Video Description

MS Europa 2, part of the Hapag Lloyd cruises fleet, is usually rated the best and most luxurious cruise ship in the world. In this video I explore and review the ship which is an ultra-luxury cruise experience. I review it especially for English-speaking cruisers as the ship historically has attracted mostly German-speakers on their cruise vacations. I look at why the ship is so highly rated by cruise writers and guide books and look at things like the passenger age and profile, how well they cater for english speaking cruise passengers, the dining options, bars and lounges, other facilities and the on board experience including entertainment options. #cruisetips #cruisingtips #hapaglloyd #europa2 I travelled as a guest of the cruise line before making this video Subscribe and get a new video every week to help you make more of your precious travel time and money on both land and at sea: http://bit.ly/TFT_YouTube2 Support the channel by booking your next cruise and for the best deals on CRUISEDIRECT.COM: http://www.jdoqocy.com/click-8330795-10511118 Consider becoming a Tips For Travellers Patron.
