TUI Cruises have experienced an outbreak of COVID-19 onboard one of their ships sailing around Greece.Twelve members of crew have tested positive for coronavirus on cruise ship Mein Schiff 6, in. Mein Schiff 6 was on a nine-day, one-way cruise from Palma de Mallorca to Heraklion that began on September 20 and was due to end on September 29 after visiting Piraeus and Corfu.

TUI Cruises was quick to highlight the success of its health protocols established in coordination with the Greek authorities. Noting that all of the crew had tested negative before boarding the Mein Schiff 6 and gone through a period of isolation, the company said the steps had been taken as a precaution. Yesterday, a lab on shore had reported 12 positive tests out of 150 tests conducted among the 666 crew members aboard.
While none of the crew members were exhibiting any symptoms of the virus, they were immediately quarantined and contact tracing isolated an additional 24 crew members that were part of “contract group 1” meaning they had close contact with the potentially positive crew. TUI immediately conducted PCR tests, which it reported were negative, and this morning the Greek authorities conducted two further tests, both the rapid antigen test, which was negative, and another PCR test, which the Greek authorities confirmed this afternoon was also negative.
“The safety of the guests, the crew, but also the Greek population is the top priority for TUI Cruises. I would like to thank all the responsible authorities for their good and professional cooperation in connection with the unclear test results on board Mein Schiff 6 and I am pleased that the voyage can be continued for all guests tomorrow with shore excursions in Piraeus” said Wybcke Meier, CEO of TUI Cruises.
The handling of the unclear test results of crew members reported yesterday once again confirms the processes agreed with the authorities for the resumption of the cruise business and proves that cruises are possible in times of corona, TUI said in its prepared statement.
The cruise line has established extensive precautions, including the testing of all crew members, and all passengers must test negative within three days before boarding special charter flights to join the cruise ship in Heraklion, Crete. No independent travel is permitted to join the ship. In addition to limiting capacity to 60 percent of the ship’s normal passengers, they are only making balcony cabins and suites, which have access to outside air, available. On board, they are asking everyone to comply with social distancing and hygiene and both passengers and crew have daily temperature checks.
Tui Cruises Mein Schiff
The Mein Schiff 6 departed from Heraklion on Sunday, September 27, with 922 passengers for a 7-day cruise with stops in Piraeus and Corfu. When the captain was informed of the potential positives aboard, he decided to take the ship into Piraeus where they could coordinate with the Greek health authorities. The passengers remained aboard the cruise ship, but tomorrow will be permitted to take the company’s tours to Athens.
This situation was not the first instance of possibly inaccurate tests since the cruise industry began resuming service and the overreaction in the media demonstrates the increased sensitivity in reporting these instances. UnCruises in July had just commenced its first cruise when one passenger was told he had tested positive when he arrived in Alaska days earlier. UnCruises canceled the trip and undertook its protocols, including a subsequent test during which that passenger was negative. Similarly, SeaDream Yacht Club had a situation in July where a passenger after disembarking the cruise tested positive but later also received a negative test.
Many in the cruise industry have been closely following TUI’s progress as the first large cruise line to resume sailing first with trips to nowhere from Germany and now the additional cruise ship sailing in Greece. Both MSC Cruises and Costa Cruises also returned to service sailing from Italy and Dream Cruises in Taiwan. AIDA Cruises is the next cruise line with large ships due to resume service and several others are believed to be preparing to resume sailing. Also, several lines with smaller cruise ships have returned to service.
In the United States, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)’s no sail order is due to expire on September 30. So far, the CDC has not announced any actions.

Gauselmann Group expands casino activities aboard cruise ships.
The family-managed Eastern Westphalian Gauselmann Group has established a partnership with TUI Cruises. Aboard TUI Cruises’ new “Mein Schiff 1” liner, which is to be named in May, there will be a ship’s casino under the CASINO MERKUR MARE brand. Furthermore, a second Casino Merkur Mare will be established on the new “Mein Schiff 2”, which is currently under construction and will set sail on her maiden voyage in 2019. “The partnership with TUI Cruises marks another milestone in the over 60-year history of the Gauselmann Group. In Germany, the gaming industry is subject to increasingly restrictive statutory regulations, with the consequence that the focus is shifting more and more towards international activities. Casino Merkur Mare is another step in this direction,” Dieter Kuhlmann, Management Board member responsible for Gaming Operations within the Gauselmann Group, explains.
TUI Cruises currently has six cruise ships, “Mein Schiff 1” to “Mein Schiff 6”. For the Gauselmann Group, this is not the first partnership involving ship’s casinos. The Eastern Westphalian company was first granted a licence to operate casinos on cruise ships in 2016. Under the Casino Merkur Mare brand, it already operates four casinos aboard four ships belonging to the “Pullmantur Cruceros” cruise line.
The 120-square-metre-plus Casino Merkur Mare on the new “Mein Schiff 1” is designed in the style of a boutique casino. The portfolio of games on offer includes a variety of slots made by Gauselmann, a 14-place table featuring electronic roulette and blackjack and a pusher with two places. Beyond the area covered by the gaming licence, Casino Merkur Mare is also installing driving simulators for younger guests. Casino Merkur Mare will be staffed by three employees who have previously gained professional experience with the Gauselmann subsidiaries CASINO MERKUR-SPIELOTHEK and in the Merkur casinos. “They will also be extensively trained for their new job with Casino Merkur Mare to ensure they are optimally prepared to cope with the specific demands that go with working in a ship’s casino,” explains Kathy Schröder, Head of Casino Operations at Casino Merkur Mare.
Mein Schiff 6 Position
Summing up, Dieter Kuhlmann says: “The ship’s casino business is another opportunity for making the Merkur sun even better known internationally and at the same time places the Gaming Operations business segment on a broader footing. We hope to continue to expand this line of business in the future”.
