Itineraries

Mein Schiff 5 itinerary program was initially based on Mediterranean roundtrips from Mallorca and Caribbean roundtrips from Dominican Republic (La Romana) and Barbados (Bridgetown). The liner offers Transatlantic repositioning (Europe-Caribbean-Europe), between Mediterranean-Baltic and through Suez Canal (Mediterranean-Dubai-Mediterranean).

  • During winter, Schiff 5 cruises to Eastern and Southern Caribbean ports leaving roundtrip from Barbados and the Dominican Republic. The 14-day Karibik itineraries visit ports in Guadeloupe, Dominica, St Lucia, Grenada, Curacao, Bonaire, Aruba.
  • Northern European itineraries are roundtrips from Germany to the UK (Scotland, Northern Ireland, Ireland, England) and Norway (Norwegian Fjords).
  • The 7-day Dubai roundtrips visit Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, UAE (Sir Bani Yas Island, Abu Dhabi), with Dubai pre- and post-cruise overnights. In 2020, a special 14-day cruise from Dubai visits India (Mumbai, Cochin, Mormugao).

Following the Coronavirus crisis, in mid-April 2021 TUI announced that Schiff 5 restarts revenue operations on May 13th (2021) with two different 7-day itineraries leaving roundtrip from homeport Heraklion Crete. Itinerary1 visited Rhodes Island, Piraeus-Athens, Souda-Chania Crete. Itinerary2 visited Corfu Island (Kerkyra), Katakolon-Olympia, Piraeus-Athens. Prices started from EUR 1400 per person (balcony cabin with double occupancy/EUR 1850 pp Junior Suite) with fares inclusive of flights (via chartered aircraft).

TUI relocated Mein Schiff 5 from Europe to Asia via Suez Canal (ReporsitionCruises.com), with homeporting in Singapore (Dec 6, 2022, through March 15, 2023) and in Hong Kong China (Mar 29 through April 6, 2023).

Mein Schiff 5 Wiki

Schiff 5 is TUI's third newbuild vessel constructed in Turku Finland. The shipbuilding company STX was bought out by Meyer Werft GmbH in 2015. All the new TUI liners were built with energy-efficient solutions and environmentally friendly powerplants that reduce emissions by 30% and consume 30% less energy in comparison to other ships of similar size. The advanced scrubber (exhaust cleaning system) uses a catalytic and scrubber converter, which reduces sulfur emissions by 99% and nitrogen oxide emissions by 75%.

Designers of the new TUI ships 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 labor to the Turku shipyard. Each ship's construction engages 800 out of all 1400 workers at the shipbuilding yard. The percentage of German travelers on TUI ships is ~80%.

TUI Mein Schiff 5 cruise ship construction

Schiff 5 vessel's hull construction started with the keel-laying ceremony (held on June 23, 2015). The ceremony started by lowering the first keel block into the shipyard’s drydock hall. Traditionally, "lucky coins" were put under the keel block. The vessel was launched (floated out from drydock) on January 15, 2016, at Meyer Werft's newly acquired Turku Shipyard. The 14 months construction period involved 1500 employees. A total of 77 steel blocks were melted into a new cruise ship in the course of construction. By the old maritime tradition, during the keel-laying ceremony coins were put under the keel block - to bring good luck for the vessel.

The vessel was delivered 10 days earlier than scheduled - on June 20, 2016. The delivery ceremony was attended by Frank Kuhlmann (TUI's CFO), Wybcke Meier (TUI's CEO) and Jan Meyer (Meyer Turku's CEO). TUI Schiff 5 is the first cruise ship that was both contracted and built totally under Meyer Werft's ownership. In the afternoon of June 21, the mooring ropes were cut and the ship crewed with around 1000 people left the shipbuilding yard and headed for Kiel Germany (its ever first cruise port of call), where she arrived on June 23.

The ship's christening ceremony was held on July 15, 2016, at Lubeck Bay (near Travemunde Germany). The ceremony was led by Godmother Lena Johanna Therese Meyer-Landrut (1991-born German singer and songwriter). Following her 'Satellite" song live performance, Lena beamed a laser ray off the top of the Maritim Strandhotel which set off a mechanism that smashed a Champagne bottle against the hull. The naming ceremony also featured acrobatic performances (by "Les Oiseaux du Paradis") and a fireworks show streamed on multiple LED screens along the beach. Part of the ceremony was also the ship's 1800 cruise passengers and over 300 special guests, among which Richard Fain (RCCL company's CEO and Chairman).

The inaugural cruise was on July 16-24 (Baltic Capitals itinerary) roundtrip from Kiel to Tallinn, Sankt Petersburg, Helsinki and Stockholm. On September 12, 2016, the vessel made her maiden UK stop - docking in Portland England. During the port stay, over 75% of the shore excursions were to Dorset's attractions, including the Jurassic Coast, Abbotsbury Swannery, Corfe Castle, Minterne House, Portland Bill.

During its Inaugural season (summer of 2016), Schiff 5 sailed on various Northern European itineraries (Norway, UK, Baltic /Scandinavia and Russia). During winter, the ship sailed on roundtrip Mediterranean itineraries leaving from Spain (Palma De Mallorca), Transatlantic repositioning crossings and Caribbean cruises leaving from Barbados (Bridgetown) and Dominican Republic (La Romana).

During the scheduled for 2020 drydock, Schiff 5's powerplant was upgraded with shoreside power capabilities. The technology allows the vessel to shut down its diesel engines while in port and to receive electricity from the city's power grid via a dockside facility.

Mein Schiff 5's last drydock refurbishment was in 2023 (November 20- December 2) conducted in Dubai UAE. The project was mainly for regular maintenance works and classification surveys, hull cleaning/silicon coating, as well as technical overhauls and upgrades to all public areas. Renovations included new carpeting throughout (2500 m2/26900 ft2), Shore Excursions Desk, Future Cruise Office, adding a new poolside bar and Art Gallery. The powerplant was upgraded with shoreside power capabilities. The technology allows the vessel to shut down its diesel engines while in port and to receive electricity from the city's power grid via a dockside facility.
