Karl WP Beyer June 24, 2025 – Hapag-Lloyd Cruises offers an exclusive expedition cruise to all nine inhabited islands of the Azores with the HANSEATIC nature. Without packing your suitcases and island-hopping by plane, guests can discover this lush natural paradise in the Atlantic in comfort by ship – accompanied by experts and with unforgettable impressions on land and at sea.
Volcanoes, whales and botanical diversity
The Azores are among Europe's most fascinating natural destinations. Deep green laurel forests, steaming fumaroles, and rare plant species such as the Azores bellflower characterize the landscape. The HANSEATIC nature, a maneuverable expedition ship with a fleet of Zodiacs, reaches even remote ports like Corvo – and offers spectacular views with panoramic decks and a "Nature Walk."

culture and cuisine
Each island surprises with its own peculiarities: music with Cavaquinho, a plucked instrument, cheese from São Jorge, tea and pineapple on São Miguel or wines from Pico – regional specialties can also be found in the restaurants on board.
