What to do on a day at sea?
The best tips and activities for a day at sea on Mein Schiff

For some, they are the hidden highlight of the cruise; for others, a relaxing break on the way to the next port: Days at sea are simply part and parcel of a cruise. They are an integral part of the route, particularly when there are longer distances between two destinations.

But a day at sea is much more than just the time spent travelling. It offers the perfect opportunity to explore the ship at your leisure and simply let yourself drift. Whether you’d like to spend a few relaxing hours by the pool, work up a sweat doing sport, or enjoy the wide range of dining options: The Mein Schiff fleet has something to suit every taste.

  • The very essence of slowing down: Start the day without an alarm clock, explore the ship at your leisure and just go with the flow.
  • Culinary diversity: From breakfast with a sea view to the evening meal – enjoy a carefree feast all day long thanks to the all-inclusive services.
  • A varied in-flight entertainment programme: Spectacular shows, creative workshops, fascinating talks by guest speakers and shopping opportunities offer something for everyone.
  • Wellness & Activities: Wake up with some yoga in the open air, swim a few lengths in the pool or unwind completely in the spa and sea area.
  • Useful tips: Take a quick look at the day’s programme in the morning and make sure you book popular spa treatments and speciality restaurants well in advance.

    The Best Places to Enjoy a Day at Sea On Board

    Some favourite places are discovered quite by chance. Perhaps it’s a sun lounger by the pool with uninterrupted sea views, a cosy spot in one of the lounges, or the balcony of your cabin.

    The outside decks are especially popular in the morning, when the sea lies calm ahead of the ship and the atmosphere is still wonderfully relaxed. Just as impressive are the aft areas, where you can gaze out over the ship’s wake, or the panoramic lounges, where the sea is your constant companion.

    A day at sea is the perfect opportunity to discover these special places at your leisure and find your own favourite spot on board.
