Image Gallery: MEIN SCHIFF FLOW Float Out Ceremony

TUI Cruises and the Fincantieri shipyard celebrated the achievement of a significant milestone for MEIN SCHIFF FLOW on May 30th. The sister ship of the recently commissioned MEIN SCHIFF RELAX was successfully floated out at the Fincantieri shipyard in Monfalcone, Italy. After the valves were opened, approximately 130 million liters of water flowed into the dry dock.

The ceremony was traditionally accompanied by prayers and holy water, as well as the smashing of a Prosecco bottle against the ship’s hull by shipyard patron Anna Russo to wish the ship and its future passengers luck.

Wybcke Meier, CEO of TUI Cruises, and Cristiano Bazzara, Director of the Fincantieri shipyard in Monfalcone, celebrated this emotional moment together. MEIN SCHIFF FLOW (IMO 9862669) is scheduled to embark on its first voyage with passengers in summer 2026.
