The brand-new TUI Mein Schiff 6 has arrived in the port of Kiel, the first port call for the ship in her home market of Germany.

The ship was recently delivered to TUI Cruises from Meyer Turku in a handover ceremony in Finland.

The ship arrived in Kiel on May 11 with a water-fountain-style welcome from a local tug boat.

On Friday, the port welcomed the ship officially with a plaque exchange ceremony onboard that included TUI Cruises CEO Wybcke Meier and Captain Kjell Holm.
