As the construction of Mein Schiff 7 nears completion at the Meyer Turku shipyard in Finland, TUI Cruises has disclosed insights into the vessel's eco-friendly advancements, inaugural events, and the selection of its godmother.
The naming ceremony for Schiff 7 is slated for June 22, 2024, to take place in the Bay of Kiel (Germany). TUI has appointed Fenia Kalachani, an esteemed environmental officer within the Mein Schiff fleet since 2022, as the ship's godmother.

Throughout the special voyage, passengers will be treated to an array of novel amenities, including new entertainment shows, live performances by renowned artists, and an assortment of culinary and musical delights.
