Transatlantic Cruise with Mein Schiff 2

TUI Cruises - Mein Schiff fills the gap between classic cruises and club ships with its all-inclusive cruises. The ‘Mein Schiff Premium Inclusive Services’ concept and the relaxed atmosphere on board appeal to many middle-aged German travellers. Almost all on-board ancillary costs are already included in the cruise price and the quality of the services is very good. However, TUI Cruises - Mein Schiff not only impresses with consistent quality, but also with great themed cruises such as the ‘Full Metal Cruise’ or sporty themed voyages.

All the 1447 staterooms onboard are furnished very comfortably. In addition to the other fleet members of TUI Cruises - Mein Schiff, the Mein Schiff 2 also offers an even wider selection of staterooms and suites. 90 percent of the staterooms aboard are oceanview staterooms.

The main onboard language is German.The atmosphere is relaxed - similar to an upscale club hotel. Especially middle-aged guests feel very comfortable on board. But also families are increasingly on board the ship during the holidays. In particular, the guests appreciate the informal atmosphere, the possibilities to be active in sports, and the variety of catering facilities. With the "Premium Inclusive Services" concept almost all food and drinks as well as the gratuities are already included. At this point TUI Cruises - Mein Schiff differs significantly from most of the other cruise lines.

The culinary offering on board Mein Schiff 2 includes numerous restaurants and cafés where every guest will find something. You can expect a culinary variety ranging from traditional to modern dishes.

The following restaurants are already included in the price:

In the numerous bars and lounges, you can enjoy among others a cappuccino in the X-Bar, savour delicious cocktails in the TUI Bar or have an aperitif in the Schau Bar. We also recommend the "Ebbe & Flut" beer bar (extra charge), where you can enjoy regionally brewed beer from the Ratsherrn brewery in Hamburg.

There is a large number of changing events, from acrobatics and musical shows to magic interludes and comedy shows. A whole team of around 50 singers, dancers and acrobats will enchant you. Cookery shows, ‘murder mystery dinners’ or pool deck parties: you will experience a lot! And if you want to turn night into day, the DJ in the bar will play for you until the early hours of the morning. For those who like to exercise, there is plenty of sport on board: A large fitness area leaves nothing to be desired and numerous courses offer something for practically everyone. Sporting excursions are also usually offered on land: e.g. mountain bike or paddle boat tours. Diving and snorkelling excursions are also on the programme in many ports. Boredom is certainly not an option on board the Mein Schiff 2!
