- Columbus
(1997) & Europa (1999)
-
-
- Columbus was built by MTW Schiffswerft,
Wismar, Germany. She was completed for Hapag-Lloyd in 1997, is
14903grt in size, and has dimensions 144.0 x 21.5 x 5.1 m, and
she has 420 berths. Engines consist of 4 x Wartsila, 10560kW,
giving a service speed of 18.5 knots. Note that the ship actually
carries the name c.Columbus, but since Hapag refer to
her simply as Columbus, I have followed suit on these
pages.
-
- Europa was built by Kvaerner
Masa, Finland. She was completed for HAPAG-Lloyd in 1999. Although
of similar outline, she is larger at 28600grt in size, but has
only 408 berths. Her dimensions are 198.6 x 21.0 x 6.0 m. Engines
consist of 4 x MAN B&W, 21606kW, giving a service speed of
21 knots. She replaced the 1981 Europa, now the SuperStar
Aries of Star Cruises (originally renamed SuperStar Europe).
