In the interests of improved legibility only, no explicit distinction has been made between genders when referring to employees and customers. 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.
