Mein Schiff 2

Young and young-at-heart, sophisticated travellers love TUI Cruises' onboard lifestyle. The German cruise line offers an all-inclusive concept and a casual atmosphere. Besides steady quality, TUI Cruises also convinces its passengers with music events and theme cruises. The main onboard language is German.

In October 2017, the first steel block of the Mein Schiff 2, which replaces its predecessor of the same name since the beginning of 2019, was laid on the Meyer Turku shipyard. Latest technology, state-of-the-art equipment and environmentally friendly construction characterize the new member of the Mein Schiff fleet. With about 315 meters, the Mein Schiff 2 is about 20 meters longer than the existing new ships. In addition to accommodating up to 2,894 passengers the ship also offers a larger selection of staterooms and suites.

All the 1447 staterooms onboard are furnished very comfortably. In addition to the other fleet members of TUI Cruises, 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 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 are numerous changing events, from acrobatics through musical shows to magic deposits or comedy shows. A whole team of about 50 singers, dancers and acrobats will enchant you. And if you want to dance the night away the DJ is waiting for you... For those who would like to do some sports a large fitness area leaves nothing to be desired. TUI also offers lots of sporting excursions on board. You may join unusual mountain bike tours, paddle boat tours or go scuba-diving and snorkeling. Boredom has no chance aboard the Mein Schiff 2.

The feel-good fleet of TUI Cruises offers a German-speaking cruise as a "club holiday with a lot of demand and comfort".
