November 2, 2026 — Hapag-Lloyd Cruises will redesign about 250 suites on its luxury ship Europa 2 during a drydock in Singapore from January 9 to 23, 2027. Sister ship Europa follows with its own yard stay in Bremerhaven, Germany, in the fall (year not given).
What’s changing
The line is keeping the ship’s design concept and refreshing colors, textures, lighting and furniture. The Grand Penthouse Suites were already redone two years ago. Hapag-Lloyd’s head of luxury cruises, Lisa Wilken, said the work is “less about transformation and more about refinement.”
| Suite type | Size | New look |
|---|---|---|
| Veranda | 28 m² | Mint and soft coral replace beige |
| Penthouse | 42 m² | Mint and soft coral replace beige |
| Ocean | 28 m² | Blues and grays with warm brown accents, new upholstery |
| Grand Ocean | 42 m² | Blues and grays with warm brown accents, new upholstery |
| Owner Suites | TBA | New lighting, round dining tables, blue textile accents |
What it means for airline travelers
- Europa 2 is out of service January 9–23, 2027. If you are eyeing a sailing just before or after, confirm the exact embarkation date and port with the line before you plan flights.
- The drydock is in Singapore, so check where the ship’s sailings around those dates begin and end. For any long-haul trip to join the ship, allow at least a day on arrival to recover and to absorb missed connections.
- No travel-industry or interline rates were mentioned.
