TUI Cruises crews board new Mein Schiff Flow ahead of inaugural service

TUI Cruises marked a key milestone for its newest cruise vessel, the Mein Schiff Flow, as hundreds of crew members arrived for a "crew mass arrival" at the shipyard in Monfalcone, Italy. The first crew members moved into their cabins and began preparing the ship for its first guests, transitioning the steel hull into a living environment.

The international crew, representing about 40 nations, is undergoing training and final preparations over the coming weeks. Staff such as staff‑captain Conrad Buchholz highlighted that the ship is being readied not only for passengers but also as a home for the crew. Once all details are finalized, the Mein Schiff Flow will welcome its inaugural guests and begin service.

The event underscores TUI Cruises' ongoing expansion of its InTUItion class fleet, with the Mein Schiff Flow positioned to offer light‑hearted, comfortable cruising experiences once operational.
