Mein Schiff 4 Makes Inaugural Call on Wednesday. First New Cruise Ship for November PRESS RELEASE St. Maarten, 07.11.2016 Mein Schiff 4 makes Inaugural Call on Wednesday. First new cruise ship for November November 07, 2016 – PORT ST. MAARTEN – The first new cruise vessel on its inaugural call for the month of November is Mein Schiff 4 which will dock on Wednesday, November 9. The vessel is the newest member of the fleet of TUI Cruises and is identical to her sister-ship the Mein Schiff 3. Mein Schiff 4 is the first of five new cruise ships that will be making its inaugural call this month to the destination. TUI Cruises, a German cruise line, is a joint venture of the German tourist firm, TUI AG and Royal Caribbean Cruises. Catering to the German market is one of Port St. Maarten’s marketing strategies which has been promoted over the years while attending cruise conferences and having discussions with cruise line executives. Port St. Maarten will be welcoming the new vessel to its shores on Wednesday with the traditional plaque exchange and words of welcome. The vessel was built by Meyer Turku Shipyard in Turku, Finland. The vessel was floated out on 10 October, 2014 and delivered to TUI Cruises on 8 May, 2015. A Mein Schiff 5 is to be delivered in 2016, and 6 in 2017. Orders have also been placed for Mein Schiff 7 and 8 with deliveries in 2017 and 2018. Mein Schiff 4 has a gross tonnage of 99,526; length 962 feet; beam 139 feet; and can carry 2,790 passengers and 1,030 crew. PHOTO CUTLINE: Mein Schiff 4.

I hope this edition can provide some reflec- tions and inspiration that can help to create a safer, smarter and greener cruise industry. © DNV GL/Per Sverre Wold-Hansen Sverre GL/Per © DNV There is no industry like the cruise industry. Later this year, we celebrate the 50th anni- versary of the keel-laying of the Sunward, the vessel that started the era of the modern cruise industry in 1966. Over the years, we have seen an incredible improvement in what cruise ships can offer passengers. The vessels are becoming more and more advanced as regards both maritime technology and passenger experience. The cruise industry is often seen as leading when it comes to implementing new technology and to be con- stantly striving to find better solutions.

With our new arrival, we have again set the focus on measures aimed at environmental protection. Just like our other new- builds, the features of this ship include outstanding energy-effi ciency and a comprehen- sive system of exhaust gas treatment. To date we are the only cruise company in the world to have consciously decided to not simply operate these exhaust gas treatment systems inside the special emission control areas according to the regulations. As we believe environmental protection is not subject to geographical borders, we deploy the systems on a continuous basis, worldwide and around the clock. In addition to this, we pursued our concept of continuous improvement in environmen- tal protection through numerous activities throughout the reporting year.

PUBLISHER’S DETAILS AND CREDITS 3 EDITORIAL Ladies and Gentlemen, When I took over as Chairwoman of the Management Board of TUI Cruises in October 2014, the topic of environmental protection was at the very top of my agenda. I quickly noticed how soundly the efforts towards sustainability and a careful approach in dealing with the environment are established within the company. This provides the best possible conditions for jointly pursuing the adopted course and officially declaring our ambitious objective at the beginning of this year to operate the world’s lowest-emission fleet of cruise liners. Crucial milestones on our way to this objective are our two newbuild vessels Mein Schiff 3 and Mein Schiff 4, which was christened in Kiel at the beginning of June. In both vessels, maximum energy efficiency as the guiding principle for design, engineering and construction have brought about impressive results.
