St. Kitts Cruise Sector Making Waves: Another New Cruise Ship Visits the Destination

The Mein Schiff 6 is owned by the German cruise line, TUI Cruises, and is expected to make three more visits to the island in this cruise season. In German “Mein Schiff” means “My Ship”, and St. Kitts has received calls from Mien Schiff 1, Mien Schiff 2, Mien Schiff 3, Mien Schiff 4 and the Mien Schiff 5.

“It is indeed a pleasure to welcome another Mein Schiff ship to the island, as we continue to work hard to deliver a world-class experience for our guests,” Minister Grant said.

Minister Grant recently returned from the FCCA Conference, where he met with cruise line executives to strengthen partnerships, and attract more cruise ships to the destination.

On Sunday four cruise ships called on St. Kitts with a maximum capacity of close to 10,000 passengers. Cruise ships are scheduled to make more than 70 calls to the island this month, November.

The Mien Schiff 6 is the sixth ship to arrive to St. Kitts for the first time. A total of 12 new ships will start calls to the destination in this cruise season, which is projected to bring more than million passengers to St. Kitts.
