MS Hanseatic Inspiration Saturday 15 March 2025

The Hanseatic Inspiration cruise ship visited Norfolk Island last weekend on 15 March 2025. This is a Hapag-Lloyd Cruises ship, they anchored at Cascade Pier where 172 passengers and 36 crew came ashore and enjoyed their bus tours exploring Norfolk Island with all of the cultural and historic history and amazing beauty.

I visited Cascade Pier later in the afternoon to photograph the Hanseatic Inspiration and it had already departed by 3.30pm and was heading North and I managed to photograph it with my zoom lens as it was near the horizon. This week TransAm Argosy posted images on their Facebook page and thank you for giving permission to share the photographs for the Online News.

A year ago the sister cruise ship Hapag-Lloyd Cruises Hanseatic Spirit visited Norfolk Island on 16 March 2024. This was a lovely cruise ship built in 2021 and sails under the flag of Malta.

We hope the Hanseatic Inspiration passengers and crew enjoyed their visit to Norfolk Island on Saturday and their voyage around New Zealand and up to New Caledonia. Here are a couple of images of the MS Hanseatic Inspiration, here on Norfolk Island and plus from the internet links. Thank you TransAm Argosy for sharing your photographs.
