MS Hamburg

Originally built as C. Columbus for Hapag-Lloyd Cruises, the ship was renamed MS Hamburg when Plantours Kreuzfahrten acquired it. Her compact design allows her to navigate the Great Lakes in North America, where she operated seasonally, as well as the Mediterranean and other worldwide routes including partnerships with Martin Randall Travel for cultural cruises. The vessel experienced significant incidents including an oil leak and propeller damage in 2015, followed by a grounding near Scotland that prompted extensive repairs.
