You lose the Mein Schiff 3 cruise from 14 to 28 Nov 2026. TUI’s notice, stamped 5 Nov 2026 at 10:00 am, says that cruise will not take place. The page does not print a time zone.
Nordsee-Zeitung, Christian Eckardt, the same day, names the cruise Zauberhaftes Norwegen. Cruise Industry News the same day reports the cancellation. This desk read the Nordsee-Zeitung article in German.

What the notice says
The ship has been at the Lloyd shipyard in Bremerhaven since Sunday 1 Nov 2026. Nordsee-Zeitung says Lloyd Werft. Cruise Industry News says the Lloyd Werft pier. All three put the ship there from 1 Nov.
TUI says the work will take longer than anticipated, so the 14 to 28 Nov cruise cannot go ahead. The notice says the line regrets the news, that guest and crew safety is the top priority, and that the work has to be finished thoroughly before the ship resumes cruise operations.
The notice does not name Norway. Nordsee-Zeitung supplies the title. Cruise Industry News does not print Zauberhaftes Norwegen.
The 28 Nov plan
TUI says that, as things stand, regular service and the planned itinerary resume from 28 Nov 2026. If that changes, guests and sales partners will be told as soon as possible. The notice does not name a port.
Nordsee-Zeitung says the 28 Nov cruise is a short one from the Columbuskaje in Bremerhaven, via Oslo, to Kiel, with arrival planned for 2 Dec. Cruise Industry News calls that sailing four nights, from Bremerhaven to Kiel via Oslo. It does not print the Columbuskaje or the 2 Dec arrival. Use Nordsee-Zeitung for the pier and the arrival date. Use Cruise Industry News for the four nights.
What is not in the notice
None of the three pages prints a refund, a credit, or a deadline to rebook. Do not invent a figure from the October note on this site. That note also had no refund amount.
Cruise Industry News says German authorities rated the 25 Oct case a serious casualty, the second step on a five-level scale, and that the exact damage is still not clear. Nordsee-Zeitung says the company gave no details of the damage. The 5 Nov TUI notice does not use the words serious casualty, and it does not retell the collision.
The earlier note, Mein Schiff 3 moves to Lloyd Werft, has the 29 Oct stamp, the cancelled Canaries cruise, and the lifesaving-equipment line. On 30 Oct the 14 Nov cruise was still listed. Today’s notice is the cancellation of that cruise.
If you hold the 14 Nov booking
Read the message on your booking. The public notice says TUI will tell booked guests if the 28 Nov plan changes. It does not tell you, on this page, what happens to the fare you already paid.
If your date is 28 Nov, the public plan is that the cruise still goes. Nordsee-Zeitung’s route is Bremerhaven, Oslo, Kiel, with Kiel on 2 Dec. Confirm the pier time before you travel. The notice does not print one.
