TUI Cruises canceled a second scheduled voyage of the Mein Schiff 3 after the ship’s collision in Bremerhaven extended repair timelines beyond original estimates. The cruise ship collided with two container vessels while departing Bremerhaven on October 25, 2026, causing damage to lifeboats, launching equipment and sections of the hull. No injuries were reported among the 2,428 passengers and 922 crew on board during the incident.
Since November 1, Mein Schiff 3 has been undergoing assessment and repairs at Lloyd Werft shipyard in Bremerhaven. Despite initial expectations, ongoing repair work has delayed the vessel’s return to service, prompting the cancellation
of a 14-night cruise to Norway planned to depart on November 14 and return on November 28. This marks the second canceled voyage following the earlier annulment of a 20-day Canary Islands cruise announced on October 26.
TUI Cruises emphasized that repair operations must be concluded thoroughly, prioritizing safety for passengers and crew before the ship resumes sailing. The cruise line currently anticipates Mein Schiff 3 to be back on its established schedule on November 28, dependent on the completion of repairs. The company has assured that it will keep affected passengers and travel partners informed should further changes become
necessary.
Passenger Impact and Notifications
Travelers booked on the canceled 14-night Norway voyage departing Bremerhaven on November 14 will be directly affected by the cancellation. Passengers from the previously canceled 20-day Canary Islands itinerary have also experienced disruptions. TUI Cruises has committed to notifying all impacted passengers and travel partners regarding the change in sailing schedules and any subsequent developments.
Market Response
On November 9, 2026, TUI stock traded at 7.65 euros on Lang & Schwarz, marking a 1.06 percent rise compared to the Xetra close of 7.57 euros on November 6. This indicates that investors are assessing the operational disruption caused by Mein Schiff 3’s
delays. The cancellations apply solely to Mein Schiff 3 and do not affect the wider TUI Cruises fleet. Market watchers can monitor ongoing investor sentiment through real-time stock quotes and DAX market reports as the situation evolves.
