The drydock stay can be compared to a major vehicle inspection, albeit on a much larger scale. These regular inspections are mandated by the classification society responsible for ship safety and certification. In the drydock, the vessel is thoroughly examined, and its certification is renewed accordingly.

In addition to the technical inspections, numerous upgrades were made to the guest areas. Passengers can now enjoy approximately 9,000 square meters of new carpeting. The Anckelmannsplatz has been completely modernized, the exterior decks freshly renovated, and the pool area and sauna now shine with a renewed brilliance.

Today’s voyage will take Mein Schiff 4’s guests on a transcontinental journey to the eastern Mediterranean, with the ship expected to arrive in the region by early April.

A video provides insights into the extensive modernization efforts, showcasing the renovations and their impressive results.
