Mein Schiff 2 – The exclusive highlights on board
This ship isn’t just another addition to the fleet – it comes with unique features you won’t find anywhere else.. Often it's the small details that make a trip special – and this is exactly where Mein Schiff 2 comes in.
One of the most striking features are the larger balconies, which provide more space and comfort in many cabins. Perfect for enjoying your morning coffee with a view of the horizon or relaxing in the evening. The ship also sets new culinary standards: The dining room – favorite dishes brings home cooking to gourmet level. Here you can find classic dishes prepared with the finest ingredients, from Wiener schnitzel to pike-perch fillet.
The expanded SPA & Sea area, which is not only more spacious, but also has new treatments on offer, ensures relaxation. The panoramic sauna in particular with a direct view of the open sea offers an experience that is not available on any other ship in the fleet.
Mein Schiff 2 also has a little more to offer in terms of sport. The jogging track is larger, the gym is equipped with even more equipment. Particularly impressive: a separate indoor cycling area with a sea view, which makes training at sea a real highlight.
The design has also been improved. More glass fronts, open areas and a well-thought-out room layout ensure an even airier atmosphere. This is particularly noticeable in the Himmel & Meer suites - here the window fronts extend over a large area and let even more daylight into the cabins.
Which areas are only available on Mein Schiff 2?

The best routes for Mein Schiff 2
Each route has its own vibe. Some are laid-back, others packed with adventure. Mein Schiff 2 heads to some of the most breathtaking travel destinations - and it's worth taking a closer look. Because not every cruise is just a trip from port to port. It's about experiences, sunsets on the open sea and the feeling of discovering a new world every day.
Which dream destinations are on the agenda?
One day sipping espresso in Rome, the next strolling through Athens’ ancient streets. The Mediterranean cruise? A sun-drenched dream on water. During the day, you explore historic cities, try Mediterranean cuisine and enjoy the lifestyle on the water. In the evening, the pool deck awaits you with a cocktail and a view of the sparkling harbor lights.
If you like it cooler but spectacular, you should take a look at the Northern Europe and Fjord routes. Instead of sandy beaches, there are rugged cliffs, mirror-smooth waterways and villages that look like they came from a fairytale book. Particularly impressive: the passage through the Geirangerfjord - waterfalls that fall directly from the mountain slopes and a backdrop that you won't forget in a hurry.
For real sailors, the Transatlantic route is an adventure. Several days of just water, waves and sky - a journey that slows you down and gives you a feeling of endless freedom.
Special highlights: Exclusive ports and stops
Mein Schiff 2 not only stops in the big, well-known ports, but also heads for insider tips that not everyone has on their radar.
- Ålesund (Norway) – A city like something out of a painting, with colorful Art Nouveau houses right on the water.
- Valletta (Malta) – A mix of Italian dolce vita and British colonial history. Perfect for culture fans.
- La Palma (Canary Islands) – Not just beaches, but dense forests, volcanoes and spectacular hiking trails.
Which trips are the most worthwhile?
It depends on what you are looking for.
- Mediterranean cruises are ideal for sun worshippers, foodies and culture lovers. Each city has its own character and you can experience several countries in just a few days.
- Northern Europe tours are perfect for nature lovers and photographers. This is not about beach clubs, but about impressive landscapes that still seem untouched.
- Transatlantic trips are for everyone who loves the sea. Long days at sea, wide horizons and the feeling of really being on a journey instead of just going from A to B.

If you want to be pampered on board, Mein Schiff 2 is the right place for you. Here, modern comfort meets a relaxed, feel-good atmosphere. No crowds, no hidden costs - instead, first-class service and spacious areas for real relaxation.
Suites with an extra pampering factor
The Sky & Sea Suites not only offer a breathtaking view, but also a private roof terrace. Here you can enjoy your morning coffee in peace while the ship glides silently over the sea. Suite guests also benefit from exclusive access to the X-Lounge - a retreat with high-quality snacks, champagne and personal service.
Pure relaxation: the spa area
The SPA & Sea is a real highlight. Finnish sauna, steam baths, relaxation areas with a view of the ocean - here you can switch off. Particularly pleasant: access to the sauna is already included. While other shipping companies charge extra for the wellness area, you can sweat and relax on Mein Schiff 2 at no extra charge.
If that's not enough for you, you can pamper yourself with a massage or a beauty treatment. Whether classic treatments, exotic massages or facials - no wish is left unfulfilled here.
The best retreats for peace and relaxation
If you just want to escape the hustle and bustle, you'll find quiet corners on board. The relaxation boxes offer comfortable loungers with a sea view - perfect for a book or a little nap. The rear deck is also an insider tip: While most guests frolic at the main pools, you can enjoy the gentle sound of the waves in an exclusive atmosphere.
Mein Schiff 2 makes it easy to switch off. If you're looking for luxury and relaxation, you'll find the perfect overall package here - without stress, without compromise.
Sport, action and entertainment on board
My ship 2 is not only a place of peace and quiet, but also a ship full of opportunities for anyone who wants to work out or be entertained. Whether fitness, shows or sporting challenges - everyone will find what they are looking for here.
Sport with a sea view: training in a unique setting
A run with a view of the ocean? The jogging track on deck makes it possible. If you prefer to train your strength or endurance, you will find state-of-the-art equipment and a wide range of courses in the fitness studio. From yoga to spinning to functional training - there is no excuse here.
If you prefer something more playful, you can work out with ball sports or on the outdoor fitness area. Even climbing walls and virtual sports activities bring variety to the day.
Evening program: What happens after sunset?
As soon as the sun disappears behind the horizon, My ship 2 comes to life. The theater features spectacular shows, live music and impressive performances. If you like it stylish, you can end the evening in one of the bars and lounges.
In the Abtanz Bar, people celebrate, dance and laugh. For a relaxed drink with a view, the Überschaubar is the place to go - with a view over the open sea and a selection of high-quality cocktails.
Save on Mein Schiff 2 - How to secure the best deals
A cruise on Mein Schiff 2 doesn't have to be expensive. If you book cleverly, you can secure big discounts and exclusive benefits. But when are the prices cheapest? And which extras are really worth it?
Early bird or last minute - which is more worthwhile?
There are clear advantages to booking early: the selection of cabins is larger, there are often special discounts and attractive additional services such as on-board credit or included excursions. The Flex tariffs are particularly popular; they are cheaper but come with fewer rebooking options.
Last minute bookers can also save money, but they have to be flexible. Shortly before departure, shipping companies often reduce prices in order to fill the last cabins. But be careful: preferred cabins or certain routes may already be fully booked.
Which extras are worth the money - and which aren't?
Not everything that is offered on board is really necessary. Drinks and many restaurants are already included, expensive drinks packages are usually not worth it. The WiFi is also often overpriced - if you only need it occasionally, you can use port WiFi instead.
A spa package can be worthwhile, however, if you plan to make intensive use of the wellness areas. Special shore excursions that are difficult to organize on your own can also be worth the money.
Book cleverly and choose extras consciously - this way the cruise on Mein Schiff 2 remains not only an experience, but also a fair deal.
