Gentle lifting for a grande dame

3.2 tons of paint, 14 days, 626 items on the to-do list, 650 square meters of new teak deck, 870 workers on board and 4,200 square meters of freshly laid carpets - the Europa has really spruced herself up during her last stay at the shipyard! The most important changes as part of the redesign include the modernization of the bathrooms, the redesign of the penthouse suites and the Lido Café as well as the new "Gatsbys", which replaces the old Clipper Lounge. In a chic retro ambience, you can sip "Forgotten Drinks" and "Signature Cocktails" at happy hour, listen to the soft tones of the bar pianist and guest artists, or put together your own music program on the original Wurlitzer box. We were on board and are certain that the great Gatsby would have felt right at home here!
