Canada’s One Ocean Expeditions has revealed that it is adding the 8,400-gross-ton (gt) ice-class cruiseship Hanseatic (built 1991) to its fleet in September 2018.

The 146-passenger vessel is operated by Hapag-Lloyd Cruises, but is due to be replaced with one of two expedition cruiseship newbuildings that the German company is building at Vard.

Cruise observers say One Ocean is taking the ship on long-term charter.
