Come Aboard MS EUROPA For a Once-In-A-Lifetime European Gourmet Experience: A Spectacular Serving of Culinary Excellence
HAMBURG, Germany, April 1 /PRNewswire/ -- If you didn't know you could reach Gourmet Heaven by ship, look again, as two "peak experience" gourmet happenings take place in June and July aboard Hapag-Lloyd's MS EUROPA, while sailing through Europe. Named by Berlitz Publishing's Ocean Cruising & Cruise Ships 2005 as the #1 ship in the world for the last five years, MS EUROPA is known not only for its superb cuisine and service, but for its imaginative events.
According to Managing Director Sebastian Ahrens, it is Hapag-Lloyd's objective to continually provide unparalleled food and service. While cuisine takes center stage every day of the year, two days this summer are of particular interest to epicureans who are hungry for an inimitable, world- class culinary experience.
EUROPA'S BEST. Sailing Lisbon-Hamburg, June 15-24, MS EUROPA will be docked at Amsterdam, Netherlands on June 22 when a stellar line-up of Europe's best chefs, masters of wine, and chocolatiers gather aboard to present their delicacies. They will line-up for a "gourmet mile" and include: Dieter Koschina of Portugal; Karlheinz Hauser of Hamburg, Germany; Rudolf and Karl Obauer of Austria; Guy Martin of France; Fromagier Phillippe Olivier of France; Chocolatiers Neuhaus of Brussels; Chocolatiers Imperial of Vienna; Wine growers Leonardo Frescobaldi, Wilhelm Haag, La Flevle; and Karl-Heinz Wolf who presents the Champagne "Bollinger". Performing artists include Magic Platters ("Under the Boardwalk", "Only You") and the showband Sonic Pearls. The night ends with a fireworks display.
BIG EUROPA EVENT, 2005. Sailing from Travemuende to Kiel, July 6-10, MS EUROPA will have a special event in Heiligendamm on July 9. The first event of its kind, a gathering of renowned winegrowers especially selected by the wine experts of Hapag-Lloyd will present their rare, large-sized (27 liters) bottles and offer tastings to the passengers. Music, an auction and fireworks will crown the event.
These events illustrate how MS EUROPA makes food into a significant experience. Every day is a dining extravaganza on MS EUROPA, and it's a key element that helped this ship earn its reputation for its Five-Stars-Plus rating, in which cruise critic Douglas Ward summarized overall dining experience that is "simply superb."
