About Mein Schiff Relax
Mein Schiff Relax is the first ship in the new InTUITion ship class and, in addition to the increased ship size and number of passengers (almost 4,000 at full capacity), offers already established facilities of the numbered predecessor ships and - in addition to the new name - some exciting new features to explore and try out.
Overall, the ship has a higher proportion of balcony staterooms than the previous ships in the fleet. The staterooms in the various categories offer standard sizes and well thought-out, modern Scandinavian furnishings. There are also inside, outside and balcony cabins specially designed to meet the needs of single travelers, as well as outside family staterooms with space for up to 6 people. The suites impress with plenty of space, a unique view of the sea, new suite categories (e.g. Weitblick Suite) and exclusive areas for suite guests (e.g. X-Sundeck, X-Coast, X-View).
The name “Relax” says it all on board: you can expect spacious public areas, plenty of open space and numerous areas to relax and unwind. We recommend the areas under the new architectural highlight, the Marcoon roof by the pool, a roof with a woven look. Under the new eye-catcher of this ship class, there are many beautiful shady and retreat areas as well as bars on two decks - ideal for a sunny day at sea! Alternatively, a visit to the SPA is also worthwhile: how about a relaxing massage, a sauna experience with a view or use of the unique barrel sauna?
Your culinary well-being is also taken care of: Mein Schiff Relax offers plenty of choice and variety with 14 restaurants and bistros as well as 17 bars and lounges. New here is the Greek restaurant Taverna Dionysos, the restaurant Fugu by Tim Raue, the Chalet, the Captain's Bar with a fantastic view of the bow and forward or the burlesque bar La Cage.

Mein Schiff Relax sustainability
Mein Schiff Relax, as well as its sister ship Mein Schiff Flow, are equipped with dual fuel engines and improved catalytic converters (nitrogen oxide reduction to Euro 6 standard). The engines can be operated with both liquefied natural gas (LNG) and marine diesel; in the future, operation with low-emission and climate-friendly bio- and e-LNG will also be possible.
In addition, both ships have a shore power connection for the use of electricity from the shore side during port periods. Furthermore, TUI Cruises - Mein Schiff insists that the shore-side electricity used is generated sustainably.
Mein Schiff Relax also has an even more efficient waste processing system with an innovative waste system that thermally shreds organic waste and prepares it directly for further use ashore.
Mein Schiff Relax staterooms
Overall, Mein Schiff Relax has a higher proportion of balcony staterooms than the previous ships in the fleet. The stateooms in the various categories offer standard sizes and well thought-out, modern Scandinavian furnishings.
Compared to the previous ships, single balcony staterooms with a size of approx. 11 sqm are now also available for the first time on the new Mein Schiff Relax in addition to single staterooms inside and oceanview.
The newly designed standard inside, oceanview and balcony staterooms with bright interiors can accommodate up to four people and are between 15-17 sqm in size. Freedom of movement is somewhat restricted in some cases, but the storage space is well thought out.
Seascanner.com booking tip: Some balcony staterooms on deck 6 (category G and H) are visible from the outside due to a possible side walkway (which leads all the way around the front of the bow, among other things) and have a restricted view of the sea at this point due to the design. Some of the staterooms are at eye level with other passengers passing by. If you would like as much privacy as possible and a staterooms without a restricted view, we recommend booking a stateroom on higher decks or in other cabin categories.

Our personal recommendation for a special culinary evening: start the evening with a delicious drink of your choice in the Street Art Bar with graffiti art right next to the Fugu restaurant before experiencing a unique dinner here. The dinner show will stay in your memory for a long time and the food served is extremely tasty! Afterwards, round off the evening in the Captain's Bar (entrance at the Osteria), where you can try one of the unusual, cleverly designed drinks and let your gaze wander out over the water.
Mein Schiff Relax Entertainment, sports and wellness
On the Mein Schiff Relax - true to the name of the ship - special attention is paid to relaxation: in the large SPA area, a Finnish sauna with a panoramic view of the sea, steam bath, herbal sauna and foot baths are available. The new cold chamber offers the opportunity to book cryotherapy treatments as an exclusive service. A short but lasting experience! Of course, you can also enjoy classic massages and cosmetic treatments or relax in the relaxation room. A special highlight is the barrel sauna, which is located at the very top of an outside deck. The whirlpools invite you to relax in the outdoor area, while the infinity pool and the outdoor pool with a length of 25 m provide pleasant refreshment during the day.
The gym area is also state of the art and there is plenty of water to see during your workout. The fully covered sports arena is also a highlight and offers an excellent sports option both for adults during courses and for children as a multi-sports field. The jogging circuit on the pool deck runs under the Marcoon roof and offers a beautiful view of the ship and the passing landscape. In places, however, it is a little narrow and not clearly separated from the footpath, so a little attention is required here.
For those who like it a little less sporty:
- Experience unique burlesque shows and live music at La Cage - a new theater with a stage and bar as well as an adjoining casino area.
- Another new hexagonal theater can be used in a variety of ways, for example for events or as a club. Drinks can be taken to your seat.
- You can also look forward to plays, variety shows, readings and lectures at the Blaue Flora.
- There is a well-equipped Reader's Lounge near the reception.
- The Neue Wall awaits you with various on-board stores.
- The ship's own studio is the right place for creative people.
- For a souvenir that gets under your skin: visit the tattoo studio on board. Your Wildcat tattoo artists will discuss your desired motif with you, ensure a fantastic result and also advise you on aftercare and care products. You can make appointments via the website www.tattooaufsee.de or directly with the artists (e.g. on Instagram).
