Hapag-Lloyd Cruises is a German cruise line that operates smaller luxury ships on worldwide itineraries, along with three expeditions ships.

On September 1, 1970, Hapag-Lloyd was formed by the merger of two German transportation/maritime companies, Hamburg-American Line (HAPAG), which dated from 1847, and Norddeutscher Lloyd (known in English as North German Lloyd), which was formed in 1857.

[1] Hapag had withdrawn from passenger service in 1960, while Norddeutscher Lloyd was operating the Bremen and Europa.

The merged line adopted the orange and blue funnel and new logo still used on these ships today.

In 2008, TUI AG integrated Hapag-Lloyd Kreuzfahrten.
