Hanseatic Nature has one impressive feature that sets her apart from other cruise ships – ‘Polar Class 6’, the highest ice class for passenger ships, allowing her to access into polar waters like the Arctic or Antarctic.
During the 2025 winter season, the ship has been taken passengers on trips to the Norwegian Fjords, operating mostly out of Hamburg.
October 8 will mark the first time the small luxury liner will be seen on the Southampton horizon.
