The new Hanseatic Spirit was launched earlier this week at a VARD facility in Romania.
With major technical and steel work done, the ship will now make the 4,000-mile trip for her final outfitting in Norway, prior to an on schedule 2021 delivery, according to Hapag-Lloyd Cruises.
The Hanseatic Spirit is the third of three 230-guest ultra-luxury ships for the German Hapag-Lloyd Cruises brand.
The ship will be for German-speaking passengers, and unlike the Hanseatic Inspiration and Nature, it will be an adults-only ship.
