TUI Reveals Naming Ceremony & Godmother for Mein Schiff 7

TUI Cruises has announced the naming ceremony for its latest ship, the Mein Schiff 7, appointing Environmental Officer Fenia Kalachani as the godmother.

The inaugural voyage of Mein Schiff 7 will depart from Kiel on June 21, with the naming ceremony set to take place the following day in the Bay of Kiel.

The christening voyage will feature an array of special activities including a new entertainment show, as well as culinary and musical surprises.

"After the christening of the Mein Schiff 4 in 2015, we consciously decided to have a christening in the Bay of Kiel again, because it is the perfect place to start wonderful journeys north and discover seventh heaven at sea. And this is exactly what we are inviting the guests of Mein Schiff 7 to do from June," Wybcke Meier, CEO of TUI Cruises, said.

Fenia Kalachani, who has been an environmental officer on the Mein Schiff fleet since 2022, plays a crucial role in ensuring that all environmental regulations are followed on board.

“As an environmental officer, I am pleased to be able to contribute to ensuring that our guests experience how seriously we take environmental protection and responsible and take sustainable use of resources onboard,” Kalachani commented.

“It is a particularly great honor for me that I am now the godmother for the Mein Schiff 7 – on behalf of the entire Mein Schiff crew. This sister ship of Mein Schiff 1 and Mein Schiff 2 is a good example of how innovative cruises can be in the areas of the environment and sustainability,” she added.
