TUI Cruises has canceled the 14-night Mein Schiff 3 cruise to Norway scheduled for departure from Bremerhaven on November 14, 2026, with a return date of November 28, 2026. This marks the second voyage cancellation following a collision incident in late October.
Collision Incident and Damage Report
The Mein Schiff 3 collided with two container ships while departing Bremerhaven on October 25, 2026. The impact damaged the ship’s lifeboats, launching equipment, and sections of the hull. At the time, 2,428 passengers and 922 crew members were aboard. No injuries were reported from the incident.
Repair Timeline and Ongoing Delays
Since November 1, 2026, Mein Schiff 3 has been docked at
the Lloyd Werft shipyard in Bremerhaven, undergoing damage assessment and repairs. The repair process has taken longer than initially anticipated, resulting in the cancellation of the Norway itinerary as a follow-up to a previously canceled 20-day Canary Islands cruise announced on October 26, 2026.
TUI Cruises expects Mein Schiff 3 to resume service on November 28, 2026, but this date remains dependent on the full completion of repair work. The company has stressed the importance of completing all repairs carefully, prioritizing safety for passengers and crew before the ship returns to operations.
Passenger Notification and Market Reaction
Passengers booked on the affected Norway cruise and
related travel partners are being notified of the cancellation and potential further changes. The cancellations pertain solely to Mein Schiff 3 and its scheduled voyages, not impacting the wider TUI Cruises fleet.
TUI stock traded at 7.65 euros on the Lang & Schwarz exchange at 11:30 CET on November 9, 2026. This price reflected a 1.06 percent increase compared to the Xetra close of 7.57 euros on November 6, 2026, indicating investor confidence despite ongoing operational disruption.
