Between March 6 and 9, more than 150 international travel agents – more than ever before in the history of Mein Schiff – had the opportunity to experience for themselves what feel-good ambassador Robbie Williams means when he says in the commercial “Relaxing rocks with the new Mein Schiff Relax. .... You should check it out”. And that is exactly what the international travel sellers did on the “Together at Sea” fam trip: they put the first vessel of the new InTUItion ship class through its paces during the day and rocked the Mein Schiff Relax with guest stars such as Alex Christensen, DJ Mokaby and Mitchy and André Katawaz in the evening.

TUI Cruises invited sales partners from Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Scandinavia, Spain, Hungary, Slovakia and South Tyrol on board for an exciting training and entertainment program. The Mein Schiff sales team had put together an attractive programme. Highlights included onboard tours and numerous presentations on various topics, as well as an interactive ship rally using one's own smartphone. During the “Relaxing Rocks Rally”, the sales partners had the opportunity to explore all areas of the new feel-good ship at their own pace and, with a little luck, win a free cabin for two people.

The response from travel agents to the “Together at Sea” trip and the Mein Schiff Relax has been consistently positive. “The bilingual project is bearing fruit and making the Mein Schiff fleet more and more accessible to non-German-speaking guests. The new Mein Schiff Relax is a very good example of this,” says Karin Niehoff, Product Manager Cruises at TUI Nederland. Ivar Mensink, Senior International Sales Manager for the Mein Schiff brand, also draws a positive conclusion: “It was very nice to see the interest and fun with which the partners explored the Mein Schiff Relax, the first ship of the InTUItion class. The atmosphere on board was great and the agents filled the motto ‘Relaxing rocks’ with life and interpreted it in their very own way.” Clas Eckholt, Vice President Commercial at TUI Cruises, adds: “The commissioning of our new feel-good ship Mein Schiff Relax is an important milestone – for us and for our sales partners, who are at the heart of our growth strategy. It is even more gratifying that our international sales partners, for whom Mein Schiff Relax offers completely new sales opportunities, have embraced the trip so well and that we were able to welcome over 150 non-German-speaking partners for the first time. Exploring and discovering on board Mein Schiff Relax themselves provides the best foundation for successful discussions and for selling our new flagship even more convincingly.”
