TUI Cruises Celebrates Mein Schiff 7's Launch with a Unique Christening Ceremony

TUI Cruises has recently announced a major celebration for its latest fleet addition, the Mein Schiff 7, with a grand christening voyage planned for June 2024. Embarking from Kiel on June 21, the ceremony is set for June 22 in the Bay of Kiel, promising passengers a journey filled with exceptional entertainment, culinary delights, and surprises. The choice of Kiel for the christening, akin to the Mein Schiff 4's christening in 2015, underscores TUI Cruises' preference for the location as an ideal departure point for northern voyages, inviting guests to discover the 'seventh heaven at sea.'

In a significant move reflecting the company's commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainability, Fenia Kalachani, an Environmental Officer who has been part of the Mein Schiff fleet since 2022, has been announced as the godmother of Mein Schiff 7. Kalachani plays a pivotal role in overseeing the implementation and compliance with environmental regulations across the fleet. Her selection highlights TUI Cruises' dedication to environmental protection and the sustainable use of resources on board, setting a benchmark for eco-friendly cruising.

Mein Schiff 7 is not just another addition to the fleet but a testament to TUI Cruises' pursuit of innovation in environmental sustainability and guest experience. Operating initially on lower-emission marine diesel, the ship is equipped for future propulsion using methanol or green methanol, nearing a CO2-neutral operation. Besides, innovative technology like the Hydro-Treat system onboard signifies an advanced approach to waste management, ensuring eco-friendly practices are deeply ingrained in the vessel's operations.

Highlighting the luxurious appointments and guest amenities, Mein Schiff 7 boasts an array of onboard features. From diverse culinary venues to a 25-meter-long swimming pool, and the introduction of new single cabins and an Asia & Sushi Restaurant, the ship offers an indulgent setting for its guests. These, alongside a cutting-edge casino and various bars and lounges, ensure a rich and diversified guest experience. The environmental technology onboard, such as the catalytic converters and the preparation for methanol propulsion, showcases TUI Cruises' commitment to pioneering sustainable cruising.

Passengers on the christening voyage can anticipate a spectacular lineup of entertainment and activities, designed to celebrate the newest ship's introduction to the sea. With the naming ceremony creating anticipation for a grand celebration, guests are ensured an unforgettable journey. The christening voyage's booking is now open, with attractive offers inviting passengers to be part of a memorable sailing experience aboard Mein Schiff 7. As TUI Cruises gears up for this significant milestone, the launch of Mein Schiff 7 marks a new era in sustainable cruising, aiming for a harmonious balance between luxury travel and environmental conscientiousness.
