Detailed answer
Mein Schiff 2 was built by Meyer Turku in Finland and delivered on Tuesday 22 January 2019, the sixth new ship from that yard for TUI Cruises. An older ship had carried the name before it, and that ship moved to a new name. Mein Schiff 2 has a gross tonnage of 111,500, a length of 316 metres, 16 decks and 1,447 cabins. TUI's German sales listings give 2,894 passengers, and Baird Maritime reported a capacity of 3,132 and a crew of 1,092 at delivery; the port listing's figure of about 4,000 passengers, mainly German, is higher than both. On board are a 1,000-seat theatre, the 300-seat Klanghaus concert hall, an outdoor 25 metre pool, the SPA & Meer spa, the Arena sports court and more than a dozen restaurants and bars. Cruises are sold on an all-inclusive basis.
How busy will town be?
The upcoming visits listed on this page show the passengers expected on each call and any other ships in port the same day. Town is busiest when several ships are in at once or a large ship arrives at a weekend. A ship carrying a few hundred passengers makes little difference on its own.
Can you sail on it from nearby?
Yes, from Palma. Both calls fall during the ship's autumn 2027 season of round trips from Palma. The call on Wednesday 6 October 2027 is on an eight-night round trip leaving Palma on Sunday 3 October 2027 and calling at Barcelona, Gibraltar, Cadiz, Malaga and Cartagena. The call on Sunday 17 October 2027, from 08:00 to 22:00, is on a nine-night round trip from Monday 11 October 2027 to Wednesday 20 October 2027 that visits Tangier, Cadiz, Lisbon, Gibraltar and Malaga. The ship then sails from Palma to Bremerhaven, leaving on Wednesday 20 October 2027. Bookings are made through TUI Cruises' German-language channels.
