The countdown is on! Mein Schiff Relax, TUI Cruises' latest and greatest addition, is welcoming its start-up crew as the ship nears completion at Fincantieri shipyard in Monfalcone, Italy. With construction in its final phase, the ship is looking more like a luxury resort than a construction site. And now, it’s showtime for the crew to move in, roll up their sleeves, and turn this floating marvel into a well-oiled hospitality machine.

Led by Captain Thomas Roth the officers and crew are ready to make the Mein Schiff Relax their new home. From familiarizing themselves with cutting-edge equipment to mastering the layout of this next-generation InTUItion Class ship, these maritime profesionals are here to ensure a flawless experience for guests. And let’s not forget the heavy lifting—literally. Crew members are not only moving into their new cabins but also helping to get the ship's interior in order.

This isn’t just any cruise ship; it’s the first of the revolutionary InTUItion Class. Translation? Brand-new spaces and features that even seasoned crew members need to train for. From dazzling new wellness zones to reimagined dining venues, the Mein Schiff Relax will set new standards.

TUI Cruises has promised an exclusive sneak peek into the crew's behind-the-scenes life over the coming weeks. Stay tuned for a glimpse of the hard work and camaraderie that go into bringing this beauty to life.

The maiden voyage kicks off March 2, 2025, from Palma de Mallorca, setting sail for in the Mediterranean. And it gets better—the ship’s christening is set for April 9, 2025, in Malaga. In true showbiz style, the ceremony will feature none other than British pop icon Robbie Williams as the ship’s ambassador for well-being.
