Mein Schiff 5 (English)

TUI Cruises

Adriatic Sea (in summer), Hongkong, Singapore,... (in winter)

My Ship 5 (Mein Schiff 5) is probably the best of the popular German tui cruises fleet consisting of six vessels (a 7th is under construction). Launched in 2016 the cruise liner boasts an excellent design, the longest pool of all cruise ships (25 meters), extraordinary suites (sky & sea on two levels with a private sundeck) and a premium all inclusive concept which provides e.g. around 100 well known brands of liquor and drinks (unlike cheap substitutes on some other cruise-ships). The first two ships of the fleet were used ones bought from Celebrity Cruises. Beginning with 2014 new ships were launched, the last ones Mein Schiff 1 in 2018 and Mein Schiff 2 in 2019. Unlike these two Mein Schiff 5 is a bit smaller (360 passengers less) which we appreciate. But see yourself!
