TUI Cruises canceled a second voyage of the Mein Schiff 3 following a collision with two container ships on October 25, 2026, in Bremerhaven, Germany. No injuries occurred among the 2,428 passengers and 922 crew aboard at the time. The incident damaged several lifeboats, their launching equipment, and parts of the ship’s hull.
Following the collision, the Mein Schiff 3 entered the Lloyd Werft shipyard in Bremerhaven on November 1, 2026, for a detailed damage assessment and repair work. The cruise line had previously canceled a 20-day Canary Islands cruise scheduled for October 26, 2026, after the incident.
Strong winds
reportedly pushed Mein Schiff 3 toward the two container ships despite assistance from tugboats. This caused the collision and subsequent damage. TUI Cruises emphasized that all necessary repairs must be completed carefully before the ship resumes sailing to prioritize passenger and crew safety.
The most recent cancellation affects a 14-night cruise to Norway that was planned to depart Bremerhaven on November 14, 2026, and return on November 28, 2026. TUI Cruises currently anticipates Mein Schiff 3 will resume normal operations on November 28, pending the completion of repairs.
Passengers booked on both the October 26 Canary Islands cruise and the
November 14 Norway voyage have had their trips canceled. TUI Cruises has committed to keeping affected passengers and travel partners informed if further itinerary changes are needed.
TUI stock traded at 7.65 euros on the Lang & Schwarz exchange on November 9, 2026, marking a 1.06% increase over the previous Xetra close of 7.57 euros on November 6 despite the operational disruption. The cancellations impact Mein Schiff 3 only and not the broader TUI Cruises fleet.
