EUROPA 2 against its type
Built in 2013, it is 3 years newer than the median cruise ship on this register, which was built in 2010 (195 vessels with a known build year). At 42,830 gross tonnage it is smaller than 73% of the other 177 cruise ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 34 cruise ships here under the Malta flag, 16.8% of the 202 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 51 other vessels here, 35 of them cruise ships. Hapag-Lloyd Cruises is linked to 6 vessels on this register. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Valletta as port of registry.
Its 17,642 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 44% below the median of 31,269 t among the 200 cruise ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 597.7 kg CO₂, 27% below the type median of 821.3 kg. It logged 2,384 hours at sea against a median of 3,133 hours for its type that year. 21.4% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for cruise ships was 15.1%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2021 (29,275 t) and the lowest 2024 (15,625 t). The one sister ship listed below with a 2025 return reported a higher or equal CO₂ per nautical mile.
