Cruise ship regularly seen off Portland Bill damaged in collision
TUI Cruises said repairs are needed after the collision damaged the ship’s hull and lifeboats, and police are investigating the captain.
- On Sunday, October 25, 2026, the cruise ship Mein Schiff 3 collided with two container ships while departing Bremerhaven, Germany, after a sudden gust of wind pushed the vessel into moored vessels, TUI Cruises confirmed.
- Storm Boelo caused "very strong winds" near Germany's coast, according to AccuWeather, with gusts around 74 mph reported. Bremen Police are investigating the captain to determine if a regulatory offense occurred.
- Nobody was injured among the 2,428 passengers and 922 crew members onboard. Police reported the cruise ship "sustained considerable damage to its lifeboats, associated cranes, and hull" during the collision.
- Calling the decision "the only responsible decision," TUI canceled the 20-day Canary Islands voyage to prioritize passenger and crew safety. The operator is evaluating whether other planned trips this year will be affected by necessary shipyard repairs.
- The maritime safety authority Dienststelle Schiffssicherheit issued a sailing ban for all three vessels while damage assessments continue. The 99,526-gross ton ship remains in Bremerhaven as evaluations regarding future operations proceed.
