Mein Schiff 3 Kicks Off the 2025 Cruise Season in Nordfjordeid, Norway

The 2025 cruise season in Nordfjordeid, Norway, was officially launched by Mein Schiff 3. On February 18, 2025, it became the first ship of the year to arrive at the port at the end of the Nordfjord. Despite a 17-centimeter-thick layer of ice, the ship managed to dock safely with the assistance of an icebreaker, allowing passengers to explore the winter wonderland of Norway onshore.
