Hapag-Lloyd Cruises: Marriage in the Antarctic

The Hapag-Lloyd Cruises fleet offers perhaps the coolest wedding location of all time. Since the new Antarctic season (starting on December 1, 2023), the shipping company has been offering weddings on expedition. During the voyages of the HANSEATIC inspiration and the HANSEATIC spirit, legally valid weddings are now possible in the stateless territory of Antarctica. The captain performs the ceremony in a befitting manner. The backdrop of the Bay of Neko Harbour is particularly pretty. The wedding in white, surrounded by eternal ice, takes on a whole new dimension.
