TUI – Mein Schiff 3

TUI – Mein Schiff 3 sails out of Germany, the latest in a class of ships advancing elegance in travel. The ship’s clean lines, passenger amenities and neutral sand and marine palette reflect the modern European style that passengers seek. The central concept behind Mein Schiff 3 is an unparalleled connection to the sea provided along with a diversity of personalized, intimate experiences heightening every aspect of the journey.

Refined and modern are the best words to describe the planning and conceptualization for Mein Schiff 3. The sea and sky take center stage. New views are crafted from the ship’s distinctive forms, skyboxes offer a unique view of the sea from overhead, and all around, cabanas on the upper deck create private “for your eyes only” views, and a translucent, internal, grand circular staircase provides view points to the sky.

The Pool Decks were planned to provide guests with a variety of social and well-being experiences. These include: another first-at-sea, the 25mSports Pool with lap lanes, the Außenalster Bar inspired by the traditional German beer garden, and the enclosed pool and the pool deck stage, programmed for day and night entertainment.

The all-glass, enclosed “beach” pool was designed with cooler climates in mind, creating a year-round safe haven at sea. Inside, guests may choose from a variety of modern seating options, lounge around the pool’s perimeter in shallow waters, or seek shade within the blue glass mosaic grotto.

With wellness and sports a fast-growth priority among travelers, Mein Schiff delivers. The sports deck provides a flexible court for basketball, volleyball, and handball or can be transformed into a grand viewing area complete with stadium seating to watch your favorite spectator sport. In the evening, the space can become a cinema, with first-run movies playing on the large LED screen.
