TUI Cruises’ Mein Schiff 4 is currently undergoing a drydock at a shipyard in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

Operating a winter season in the Middle East, the ship is scheduled to undergo routine work before resuming service later this month.

The project is expected to include general maintenance, class inspections and technical work, as well interior updates.

After arriving at the shipyard on Feb. 10, the ship is undergoing a 14-day drydock before resuming service on Feb. 25, 2025.

Upon welcoming guests back, the Mein Schiff 4 offers a seven-night cruise to Abu Dhabi and Doha before kicking off a repositioning cruise to Europe.

Sailing via Africa, the 43-night itinerary includes visits to destinations in the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Oman, South Africa, Namibia, Cape Verde, the Canary Islands and the UK.

After sailings round the Cape of Good Hope, the repositioning voyage is scheduled to end in the Turkish port of Antalya on April 9, 2025.

The Mein Schiff 4 then offers a series of seven- to nine-night spring cruises in the Greek Islands and the Aegean before repositioning to the Western Mediterranean.

In June, the vessel sails to Western Europe for seven-night cruises to Portugal, France, Spain, Morocco and Gibraltar.

In late July, the Mein Schiff 4 arrives in Germany for a summer deployment in Northern Europe that includes cruises to Scandinavia departing from Hamburg.

Following another repositioning cruise via Africa, the 2,500-guest ship returns to the Middle East for the 2025-26 winter season.

Built for TUI Cruises at the Meyer Turku shipyard in Finland, the Mein Schiff 4 entered service for the brand in 2015.

Following the Mein Schiff 3, the ship was the second in a series of newbuilds that also include the Mein Schiff 5, the Mein Schiff 6, the Mein Schiff 1, the Mein Schiff 2 and the Mein Schiff 7.
