TUI Cruises will head for North America with its new Mein Schiff 6 in late 2017.

A 15-night crossing from Hamburg will end in Bayonne, New Jersey in September. The ship then embarks on a North America-based program for the shoulder season.

Two itineraries are offered, including three 10-night Canada/New England sailings from Bayonne, with visits to a few Atlantic/Canada ports as well as a marquee call in Boston. There are also two cruises scheduled, round-trip from Bayonne to the Bahamas, with calls in Norfolk, Charleston, Port Canaveral, Miami and Nassau.

The ship heads on a 14-night sailing to the Dominican Republic from Bayonne on Oct. 27, 2017.
