Three-star chef Kevin Fehling, the acclaimed owner of Hamburg’s The Table, will once again grace the high seas, joining the Hapag-Lloyd Cruises’ EUROPA for eight select voyages in 2026. Fehling is the creative force behind The Globe, the specialty restaurant exclusively available aboard the EUROPA, where he beautifully blends modern haute cuisine with sophisticated maritime lightness. This partnership offers the ship’s 400 guests an unforgettable and highly exclusive culinary experience.

Fehling’s return underscores Hapag-Lloyd Cruises’ commitment to excellence, a value that mirrors the chef’s international stature, which was recently recognized at the Best Chef Awards in Milan. A long-time partner of the cruise line, Fehling first launched The Globe in 2019, drawing inspiration from his own earlier career at sea. Guests can happily anticipate his personal appearances, specially curated menus, and direct interactions while onboard.

The eight exclusive voyages are scheduled between March and November 2026, offering diverse itineraries in the Mediterranean and Northern Europe, with departure and arrival ports including Gran Canaria, Nice, Hamburg, and Lisbon. Guests on the EUROPA can enjoy this culinary masterpiece alongside four other fine-dining venues, all included in the cruise fare. This commitment to small, individual, and outstanding luxury experiences is reflected across the entire Hapag-Lloyd Cruises fleet, with all five ships earning the top five-star rating from the Insight Guides 2025.
