Tui Cruises strokes Norway cruise: Disappointed guests react!

Bremerhaven, Deutschland - The cruise of the "Mein Schiff 3", which was to lead from Bremerhaven to Norway, will be canceled in autumn 2026. Tui Cruises announced this today after the decision was made due to a fully charter for the ship. The trip was planned for the period from September 20 to September 27, 2026 and was to include stops in Bergen, Stavanger, Kristiansand and Oslo. Instead, the "Mein Schiff 3" is now only used for an unknown charter partner. TUI Cruises officially confirmed this cancellation in Hamburg and immediately informed all affected guests by email.

The cancellation of this cruise comes as a surprise to many travelers and leads to long -planned vacation plans. TUI Cruises ensures free cancellation to the guests concerned. You will also receive a travel cut and a ten percent discount on a new booking, which is valid without a time limit. This procedure is not unusual in the cruise industry, since fully charter occasionally can lead to cancellations that have already been marketed. It was not until June 2023 that a Mediterranean cruise was canceled by Mein Schiff 4 due to a fully charter.

background information on Mein Schiff 3

The "Mein Schiff 3" is stationed all year round in Germany. During the summer months, the ship predominantly runs Northern Europe cruises from Bremerhaven and some trips from Kiel. In winter, on the other hand, it navigates on long -distance trips towards the Canary Islands and Caribbean or remains in winter Northern Europe. Except for the canceled Norway trip, all other planned trips to the “Mein Schiff 3” have so far been planned.

Details about the future charter partner of the "Mein Schiff 3" are currently not known. The cruise industry is still affected by such changes, which for guests who hope for these trips will have disappointing news. The decision of TUI Cruises illustrates the dynamics and the challenges that cruise providers are looking for when it comes to marketing and implementing travel.
