In the summer of 2026, Hapag-Lloyd Cruises is setting new standards for event travel by bringing German pop star Clueso on board the MS EUROPA 2. Under the fitting motto "Flight Mode On" (Flugmodus an), this short trip from July 10 to 14, 2026, will travel from Hamburg via Texel and Amsterdam to the high seas island of Heligoland before returning to the Hanseatic city. While the ship is surrounded by the North Sea on both starboard and port sides, guests will enjoy a conscious break from everyday digital life, focusing entirely on deceleration and musical exclusivity.

The centerpiece of this journey is undoubtedly the live concert by Clueso. While the artist fills large arenas in the same year, the maximum of 500 guests on board will experience him in a unique club atmosphere on the pool deck. This intimacy, combined with the ship's first-class lighting and sound technology, creates a "once-in-a-lifetime" moment that would be hard to replicate on land. The flexible Magrodome glass roof over the pool guarantees planning security, whether the sun is shining or the North German weather takes a turn.

In addition to the musical highlight, the route impresses with a smart mix of nature and urbanity. After departing from Hamburg, Texel offers vast dune landscapes for a breath of fresh air, followed by a long stay in Amsterdam for culture and shopping. The detour to Heligoland underscores the expedition character before the MS EUROPA 2 sets course for Hamburg again. The ship positions itself as a venue of "Casual Luxury": without a stiff dress code and with flexible dining times, the service adapts to the rhythm of the guests, not the other way around.

Those wishing to attend this event should plan for at least 3,290 euros per person for the PLATIN tariff. This price reflects not only the luxurious accommodation in veranda suites and the all-inclusive service but effectively acts as a VIP ticket for the concert. The cruise line is also setting ecological standards: through the use of catalytic converters and shore power, the ecological footprint in the sensitive North Sea region is kept as low as possible.
