Medevac in Malaga
On May 20, 2026, a medical emergency occurred aboard the 'Mein Schiff 1', necessitating a change of course. The cruise ship, which was on an 11-day voyage through Iberia and Morocco, made an unscheduled stop in Malaga to facilitate necessary medical care ashore for a passenger. She was en route between Lisbon and Cartagena when a medical emergency was reported on board on the afternoon of May 20. A day at sea had originally been scheduled for that day, but the situation demanded swift action. In coordination with the relevant authorities ashore, the ship's command decided to alter course and head for Malaga. Initially, the ship took up an anchorage position outside the port while a Spanish lifeboat attempted to transfer the patient. However, this maneuver proved unsuccessful, and the 'Mein Schiff 1' docked directly at a pier in Malaga, where the affected passenger was handed over to emergency services to continue receiving medical treatment ashore. Upon completion of the disembarkation process, the cruise ship resumed its voyage, arriving in Cartagena on Thursday morning with a slight delay of approximately 30 minutes.

During an excursion with the 40-ft-catamaran "Boca de Yuma 1" of the Compañía Embat with 55 passengers of the "Mein Schiff 1" on board on Nov 9, 2025, the boat sprang a leak, possibly after hitting an obstruction, and sank within short time in the Los Haitises area, off Cayo Levantado in the Samaná Bay. The captain sent out a distress signal, and the navy launched a rescue operation. Tourists were floating on the water wearing life jackets, among them children and elderly people. The boat's captain called colleagues in the vicinity via smartphone and asked for help, which is why, due to a lack of radio communication, the crew on the bridge of the 'Mein Schiff 1' were initially unaware of the accident. They were only informed by the local authorities after the boat's crew had also called the shore-based tour operator's headquarters and reported the emergency. Civil defense workers along with Dominican Navy, and residents of the communities of EMBA and El Crucero, meanwhile pulled the passengers from the water, and they received precautionary medical treatment on shore. Thanks to the swift intervention of rescuers and the navy, all were rescued, and none of them were injured. An external operator had offered the catamaran trip as part of a shore excursion program. The "Mein Schiff 1" has since continued its voyage to its next destination in Jamaica.
