The largest restaurant onboard is the Restaurant Weltmeere, which is located at the stern of the ship and is characterised by its spacious room concept. Design elements discreetly emphasise the features of the circular room – a successful balance between openness and cosiness. Here, the galley crew will give you their undivided attention. The culinary delights served range from international cuisine to vegetarian menus that are constantly changing and ensure newly interpreted surprises.

The Tarragon with its dark pillars and benches upholstered in green is reminiscent of a charming brasserie in Paris. Here, a breath of Francophile savoir-vivre is in the air while French-oriented cuisine is served that is simple but refined in equal measure.

The atmosphere in the Asian Restaurant Elements is inspired by the lifestyle of the eastern regions, a symbiosis of foreign cultures. Enjoy the great cuisines of Asia - traditional Chinese in accordance with the teachings of five-element cooking, fiery hot and light or unique; in any case fresh, exotic, easily digestible and always artistically arranged.

In the open Yacht Club Restaurant the sea breeze unites with the fine aroma of freshly prepared delicacies from the open cooking stations. What can the chef de cuisine recommend today?

They are pleased to pass on their specialised knowledge in an exciting and entertaining form, making every conversation a personal encounter with great depth. The topics they focus on depend on the itinerary – politics and economics, art and architecture, but also religious and cultural history or music and literature. Varied and discerning, just as you would expect on board the EUROPA 2, the lecturers competently lead you through a broad thematic spectrum. On selected voyages eminent authorities of international renown, professors and journalists enrich the onboard programme. You are welcome to discuss current topics as well as the historic-cultural features and natural phenomena of your destinations with our experts and with famous personalities from the worlds of society and politics.

The legendary Sansibar with the crossed pirate’s sabres has enjoyed cult status for decades – on the island of Sylt and quite exclusively on the EUROPA 2 and her sister ship, the EUROPA. You can savour the incomparable charm of “Germany’s most famous beach bar” from morning to night. The Sansibar is a wonderful, lively place to let an eventful day gradually draw to a close and drink to a fantastic holiday. And in the evening, the DJ livens up the dance floor. Breathtaking views and invigorating sea air all included.

A casual atmosphere, infectious sounds and a spectrum that will enthral every jazz fan. From cool jazz to easy listening – the Jazz Club on board the EUROPA 2 is an inviting venue to lounge after dinner and listen to the musicians’ repertoire, if you wish into the wee small hours of the morning.

A stylish aperitif, garnished with artistic performances, or a tasteful tea-time with superb panoramic views: in the Belvedere on Deck 9 you have the best view the whole day long.

Belvedere Club

It goes without saying that a sun deck and a pool have a pool bar. Here, fresh juices, snacks for breakfast and lunch, wraps that are rich in vitamins as well as coffee and crisp waffles fulfil your every culinary wish during the day.

The soft notes from the pianist at the Steinway grand piano in the Atrium provide a romantic setting. A pleasant ambience for dreaming of the experiences that still await you – over a relaxing drink that becomes a very special treat in this bar.

Sundeck 

This is a term used worldwide to describe wines of the highest quality; on board the EUROPA 2, it is a special place for connoisseurs and new wine lovers: the Grand Reserve. In two glass climatised rooms, you will find a vast selection of exquisite wines from around the world. Enjoy a good glass or look forward to a private wine tasting for up to twelve people in an exclusive ambience.

Grand Reserve 

If you prefer a quiet evening, you may wish to relax in one of the comfortable armchairs of the Herrenzimmer - with a stout rum, a substantial whisky or one of the select rarities from the wide choice of gins on board. And perhaps even accompanied by a Cuban speciality from the humidor – because here in the Herrenzimmer guests are welcome to enjoy tobacco in every shape or form.
