Mein Schiff 2 Review
Review of Mein Schiff 2
The 2019-built TUI Mein Schiff 2 cruise ship is owned by TUI Cruises and has two sisterships - Mein Schiff 1 (2018) and Mein Schiff 7 (2023). Vessels' previously designated names were "Mein Schiff 7" and "Mein Schiff 8", but as the old namesakes went to Marella Cruises UK (within TUI Group), the newbuilds took their names.
The vessel (IMO number 9783576) is currently Malta-flagged (MMSI 248956000) and registered in Valletta.
History - construction and ownership
TUI Cruises is a UK-based joint venture cruise company (50-50) of TUI Group (British-German travel and tourism corporation) and RCG-Royal Caribbean Group (RCCL-Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd/USA-based passenger shipping company).
TUI started cruise shipping operations in 2009, targeting predominantly the German-speaking market with a premium travel vacation product. German and English are the main onboard languages on all TUI Schiffs (ships). TUI's sister-brands are Marella Cruises UK and Hapag-Lloyd-Cruises.
TUI's new Mein Schiff 2 took the name of the old Schiff 2 (launched in 1997). In 2018, the old Schiff 2 was sold to "Marella Cruises" (TUI's UK brand line). Initially was announced that in March 2019, the old vessel will be transferred to Marella Cruises (fka Thomson) and operated as Marella Explorer 2. However, in March 2018, TUI announced that the old Schiff 2 stays in the fleet - under the name Schiff Herz.

Mein Schiff 2 Wiki
All newbuild TUI cruise vessels have energy efficient solutions and environmentally friendly power plants that reduce emissions by 30% in comparison to other ships of similar size. Designers of the new TUI liners are Wilson Butler Architects, together with CM Design and Tillberg Design. Fun fact is, that each ship in this new series brings nearly 5000 person-years labour to the Turku shipyard. Each ship's construction engages 800 out of all 1400 workers at the shipbuilding yard. The percentage of German travellers on board TUI ships is around 80%.
The onboard powerplant is based on four Wartsila marine diesel engines (total output 48 MW), while the propulsion system is based on azimuth thrusters (total power output 28 MW).
The vessel's physical construction started with the keel-laying ceremony (hull number TUI NB-1393) held on October 5, 2017, at Meyer Werf's Turku shipyard. With the event officially started the hull's assembly. The ceremony was attended by Wybcke Meier and Frank Kuhlmann (TUI Cruises CEOs).
Schiff 2 was the 6th TUI liner built by Meyer Turku (delivered on January 22, 2019) with sistership Mein Schiff 1 (April 2018). When compared to the old version (Schiffs 3-4-5-6), the new Schiff 2 is 20 m longer (315 m / 295 m), 12000 GT tons heavier ( 11500 tons / 99500 tons) and have passenger capacity 2894.
On June 1, 2018, the vessel was floated out from the drydock hall. On September 22 was announced liner's godmother - Carolin Niemczyk (1990-born German singer). The christening ceremony is planned for February 9 (2019) to be held in Lisbon Portugal. On January 22 starts the repositioning cruise from at Kiel to Hamburg (VIP voyage for travel industry representatives only). The "inaugural cruise" (official maiden voyage for general guests) left Bremerhaven on January 29 and included the naming ceremony in Lisbon (Feb 9).
The liner's first Master was Captain Kjell Holm.
At the beginning of the maiden season, Schiff 2 was loaded with oak barrels full of a limited edition of Saltwater’s Gin (a total of 225 L / 59 US gallons). The premium liquor was delivered from Salzburg (Austria) and will travel over 37,000 km / 23,000 miles (January 29 through May 23) when the barrels will be offloaded in Civitavecchia-Rome and transported to Salzburg for bottling. Passengers may purchase the limited edition bottles on the cruise liner after June 5 (2019).
TUI Schiff 2 refurbishments review
The ship's first drydock refurbishment was in 2024 (January 1-14) conducted in Port Rashid (Dubai UAE).
The 2-week drydocking project was for general maintenance works (technical overhaul, regular class inspections, hull cleaning/repainting), renovations of public spaces, as well as for installing shore power connectivity.
