Tattoos have become an increasingly popular form of self-expression, allowing people to showcase their personality, beliefs, and artistry. However, in professional environment especially within the cruise industry, maintaining a polished and guest-appropriate appearance is essential.

TUI Cruises just dropped their newest cruise ship, Mein Schiff Relax, and while the official christening is still on the horizon, the ship has already set sail on its maiden voyage! But let’s be real—what’s a brand-new cruise ship without a great crew to bring it to life?

Batzner’s career with TUI Cruises has seen him serve on Mein Schiff 3 and Mein Schiff 1, before playing one of the key roles in the launch team for the new Mein Schiff Relax. Now, as the newly appointed captain, he will be responsible for navigating the Mein Schiff 4 on a series of exciting itineraries.

Women make up just 2% of the global seafaring workforce, but a new initiative aims to change that. The International Transport Workers’ Federation (ITF) is officially launching the Women at Sea network, a platform designed to support, empower, and connect women in the maritime industry.
