Summary

The cruise ship Mein Schiff 3, carrying 2,428 passengers and 922 crew members, collided with two container ships while departing Bremerhaven, Germany, on October 25, 2026, during stormy weather. The collision caused damage to the cruise ship's lifeboats, hull, and crane, and created a 9-meter hole in the MSC Victorine container ship. No injuries were reported. The 20-night voyage to the Canary Islands was canceled, and all three vessels were prohibited from departing pending investigation. German authorities are examining the incident, including the captain's adherence to duty of care and potential factors such as strong winds and pilotage issues.
