TUI Cruises has canceled a second scheduled voyage of its Mein Schiff 3 cruise ship following a collision with two container ships on October 25, 2026, in Bremerhaven, Germany. The incident damaged lifeboats, launching equipment, and parts of the ship’s hull. No injuries were reported among the 2,428 passengers and 922 crew members aboard during the collision.
Since November 1, 2026, Mein Schiff 3 has been docked at the Lloyd Werft shipyard in Bremerhaven for damage assessment and repairs. TUI Cruises noted that the repair process has taken longer than initially expected, delaying the ship’s return to service.
The latest
cancellation announced on November 5 affects a 14-night Norway cruise scheduled to depart Bremerhaven on November 14, 2026, with a planned return on November 28, 2026. This follows the previous cancellation of a 20-day Canary Islands voyage originally set to start on October 26, 2026.
TUI Cruises has emphasized passenger and crew safety as a top priority, stating all necessary repair work must be completed thoroughly before resuming operations. The cruise line is informing passengers and travel partners affected by these cancellations and will provide updates if further itinerary changes occur.
On November 9, 2026, TUI stock traded at 7.65
euros on Lang & Schwarz at 11:30 CET, slightly above the 7.57 euros closing price on Xetra from November 6, reflecting investor assessments of the operational impact from the disruptions. Mein Schiff 3 is expected to return to its regular schedule on November 28, pending the completion of repairs.
