Cabins
The ship · Mein Schiff 2
With space for over 2,500 guests, Mein Schiff 2 is one of the larger units in the TUI Cruises fleet and combines classic comfort with a wide range of leisure activities on board. Pools, restaurants of various cuisines and a spa area with live entertainment alternate on sixteen decks, while the shipping company mostly sets its routes in the Mediterranean and Northern Europe.
The ship has a special role for the queer community: Under the motto of a Rainbow Cruise, Mein Schiff 2 will be the venue for a multi-day themed cruise explicitly aimed at the LGBTQIA+ community and allies. TUI Cruises is cooperating with established partners from the scene, such as the Rainbow Festival Cologne, and bringing well-known queer artists on board. Evening parties, talk rounds and community formats complement the regular on-board programme. If you are looking for a colourful mix of classic cruise comfort and decidedly queer flair, you will find both on Mein Schiff 2 during these special cruises.
Frequently asked questions
How does an LGBT cruise differ from a regular one?
As a rule the entire ship is chartered — a 100% queer crowd with its own programme of DJs, drag shows and themed parties.
What is usually included?
Cabin, full board, entertainment and pool are mostly included. Premium drinks, spa and shore excursions are usually charged separately.
Is the trip suitable for solo travellers?
Yes — the solo share is high on many trips, and there are often dedicated solo meet-ups on board.
What are the cancellation terms?
That depends on the operator. You will find the exact deadlines and conditions directly with the provider.
What about safety when docking in restrictive countries?
The operators are careful about route choices. At controversial ports, shore excursions are curated thoughtfully.
