As the sister ship of MS ASARA and MS ALENA, the new built ANDREA was supposed to be christened and put into service at the end of March. But better late then never and future guests can look forward to a beautiful ship with spacious cabins, as well as innovative restaurants and lounge areas.

On the occasion of her 20th birthday, MS Europa has been extensively refit in many areas. In particular, the gastronomic concepts have been raised to a new level. In addition to the new Seefood bar "Pearls", Hamburg's 3-star chef Kevin Fehling has created a new highlight with the "the Globe" restaurant.

Having the chance to develop a design concept for a new river cruise ship,
CUBIK³ designed a cruise ship which is quite different, conceptually driven by the nature of its routes and destinations.

The Sansibar on the island Sylt is propably the best known restaurant in Germany, famous for its outstanding location in the dunes of Sylt, the good food and its extraordinary wine cellar.

Here, Cubik³ has successfully brought the typical Sansibar atmosphere on board MS EUROPA 2, the world's best-rated cruise ship.

The Japanese restaurant on the MS EUROPA 2 was formerly just an appendix to the main restaurant lacking in Asian design elements. By adding just a few new components like luminaires, dividing walls and a new accent color, this new concept was realized within an affordable budget and a limited timeframe.

The stylish new MS Alena sets standards in comfort and elegance. The large cabins, mostly with French balcony, invite you to relax and unwind. The chic rooms are flooded with light, stylish but not overcrowded furnishings and offer a pleasant atmosphere.

As on the sister ship MS ASARA, the interior design of MS Alena is inspired by the nature of the typical cruise routes. The MS Alena has 4 passenger decks, 74 spacious cabins with French balcony, large and bright spaces, an overall tasteful, warm ambience with a sporty and elegant atmosphere.
