Mein-Schiff-7 Vessel Reviews and Specifications

On April 22, 2026, a distressing incident took place aboard the 'Mein Schiff 7' while it was docked in Funchal, Madeira. A two-year-old child suffered a fall from a height of approximately two to three meters. The onboard medical team promptly administered care, while local emergency services were called to assist. After receiving initial treatment aboard the cruise ship, the toddler was transported via ambulance to a local hospital emergency room. Fortunately, upon the arrival of emergency personnel, the child was conscious and responsive. The authorities in Madeira activated the regional integrated medical emergency system to ensure a swift response. An investigation into the circumstances surrounding the fall is currently being conducted in collaboration with appropriate authorities aboard the ship. According to TUI Cruises, the child was never in critical condition and escaped with non-life-threatening injuries. The young passenger is undergoing routine observation at the hospital but is reported to be in good spirits and surrounded by family. The 'Mein Schiff 7' was concluding its final Canary Islands cruise for the 2025/26 winter season and remained in Madeira until noon on April 23, before setting sail back towards the Canary Islands, including stops at La Palma, Tenerife, and Fuerteventura, before ultimately wrapping up the voyage in Gran Canaria.

On January 6, 2025, the crew aboard the 'Mein Schiff 7', while navigating from Las Palmas to Gran Canaria, stumbled upon a drifting inflatable boat. In response to the discovery, the cruise ship altered its course to conduct a thorough investigation. Fortunately, it was quickly determined that the rubber boat was unoccupied. Local authorities in both Morocco and the Canary Islands were alerted to the sighting. The Maritime Rescue Coordination Center (MRCC) in Gran Canaria stated that the inflatable craft had been inadvertently abandoned during a recent Coastguard rescue mission but has since been retrieved. Following the incident, the 'Mein Schiff 7' resumed its scheduled journey to Agadir, Morocco, as planned, continuing its scenic cruise through the Canary Islands.

On the evening of September 30, 2024, the cruise liner 'Mein Schiff 7' experienced a medical emergency, prompting the captain to halt the vessel's departure from Kirkwall. The ship was preparing to set sail when the crew received notification of a passenger in need of urgent medical assistance. As preparations were underway and lines were being released by port staff, the captain made the decision to postpone the departure until the patient could be safely transferred to shore. Moments later, the 'Mein Schiff 7' was securely moored back at the pier, awaiting the arrival of an ambulance. The quick response ensured the patient received care shortly after the ambulance's arrival, and the individual was subsequently taken to a local hospital. Fortunately, the situation only caused a minor delay for the cruise ship, which eventually departed Kirkwall at approximately 7:10 p.m. local time. The vessel was originally scheduled to leave at 6:30 p.m., heading to Hamburg, with an estimated time of arrival on October 3.
