Detailed answer
Mein Schiff 3 was built at the Turku shipyard in Finland and handed over to TUI Cruises on Thursday 22 May 2014. It was the line's first purpose-built new ship and the first of a series of sisters that includes Mein Schiff 4, 5 and 6. It has a gross tonnage of about 99,500, a length of 293 metres, 1,253 cabins with 2,500 lower beds and a crew of about 1,000. Highlights include a 1,000-seat theatre, the Klanghaus concert hall, the Atlantic Classic restaurant, the Anckelmannsplatz buffet and a 25-metre outdoor pool. The ship went into dry dock at Damen Shiprepair in Rotterdam in April and May 2026, when the suites were renovated and the theatre gained a new LED wall. In January 2018 it became the first cruise ship to visit Dominica after Hurricane Maria.
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. The call on Sunday 24 October 2027 falls on a transatlantic voyage leaving Palma on Friday 22 October 2027, which calls at Gibraltar and Las Palmas before crossing to the Caribbean; it is sold as 14 nights to La Romana, arriving on Friday 5 November 2027, or 17 nights to Montego Bay, arriving on Monday 8 November 2027. Through September and October the ship sails Palma round trips in the western Mediterranean, having arrived from Bremerhaven on a ten-night voyage via Lisbon that leaves on Friday 27 August 2027. The voyage covering the call on Monday 20 September 2027 has not been found in published listings. The port listing expects mainly German passengers.
