Ports

Durban

Africa's bewitching seaside playground in the sun, Durban has from its earliest days possessed a special charm...a certain mystique that adds 'something extra' to the meeting of warm Indian Ocean, radiant golden sands and lush sub-tropical greenery. The creation of Durban Metro beckons visitors to this sublime paradise.

Richards Bay

A bustling port town with year-round warm weather, Richards Bay is home to South Africa's largest harbor. The golden sands of the coastline stretch from the Tugela River to the border of Mozambique. These serene beaches are also home to the Richards Bay Game Reserve, a protected lagoon that is home to aquatic birds, hippos, sharks and crocodiles.

Reunion

Few people outside mainland France know of Réunion and even fewer know of its spectacular natural wonders. The island's dearth of world-class beaches has a lot to do with its lack of mass tourism, but what Réunion lacks at sea level it more than makes up for in its wildly dramatic mountain country.

Port Louis

Capital and main port of Mauritius, Port Louis was founded by the French in 1735. The harbour lies sheltered in a semi-circle of mountains. The town has plenty of character, its past elegance shows in certain quarters. Off the main square, palm-lined Place d'Armes, there are some particularly fine French colonial buildings, especially the Government House and the Municipal Theatre. There are two Cathedrals, a Mosque, Casino, a fine Supreme Court, some 18th century Barracks and a Natural History Museum.

MS HANSEATIC

Just like the legendary discoverer, the HANSEATIC also has a passion to explore new territories and hidden places. We anchor where other ship’s only sail by, take course for those destinations that are untouched and fascinatingly foreign. Such as the Arctic, Antarctic, as well as the Gambia River, the Amazons or the Orinoco. But we also cruise South America, Mediterranean or the West European Coast: on our “Expedition of Knowledge” you will be acquainted with and understand a multiple of new experiences. As on all HANSEATIC voyages, well travelled Lecturers will also guide you here, bringing you closer to the exciting unknown and point out new interesting sights to be seen – onboard and on land.
With a discreet 5 star rating onboard, we set sail every day into new worlds. How can the beauty which nature already provides and cultural treasures from an ancient civilisation be kept alive, the HANSEATIC will bring you close up to all of these. She has a very low draught, is small and agile, reaches very flat beaches and steers safely through intricate rivers. Thanks to her 14 Zodiacs, special robust rubber dinghy’s developed for such expeditions, the HANSEATIC casually brings you to all places, where there is either something exciting, extraordinary or rare to be seen.

Welcome onboard the HANSEATIC!
