Current Information
Important information on current developments in the Middle East
As of 4 March 2026, 3:30 a.m.
We are continuing to monitor developments in the Middle East very closely and are in close contact with the relevant authorities and international security experts.
The situation remains unchanged at present. The travel and safety advice issued by the German Foreign Office for the region remains unchanged.
Our guests are still on-board Mein Schiff 4 and Mein Schiff 5. They are being well looked after and cared for. Operations on board are running normally under the circumstances.
Against this background, the following cruises can no longer take place::
- Mein Schiff 4: up to and including the start of the trip on 9 March 2026
- Mein Schiff 5: up to and including the start of the trip 12 March 2026 (Our World Explorer guests have been informed separately by email about how to proceed)
All affected guests have already been informed directly by us via text message. Should further adjustments be necessary, we will contact the booked guests immediately and proactively.
We kindly ask you to refrain from making individual enquiries about upcoming departures, as we are continuously assessing the situation and always make decisions based on current official recommendations.f
Due to the continuing dynamic situation in the region and limited flight connections, we are in close contact with the airlines to enable reliable planning of return journeys. As soon as we have confirmed information, we will inform the affected guests immediately.
The top priority is and remains the safety and well-being of our guests and crew. The TUI Cruises crisis management team is working continuously and in close coordination with the relevant authorities, the German Foreign Office, the relevant embassies, international security experts and the security teams of our shareholders, TUI AG and the Royal Caribbean Group, to continuously assess the situation and the measures to be taken as a result.
We thank you for your trust.
Your Mein Schiff team
