Bomb scare at cruise ship in Kiel, partial evacuation
A major police operation was startwd on the afternoon of June 10 at 1 p.m. at the Port of Kiel following a bomb scare near the 'Mein Schiff Relax'. The terminal at the Ostsee Quay, as well as parts of the cruise ship itself, were evacuated. Passengers already on board were permitted to remain there. They were instructed to stay only on the starboard side. The port side of the 'Mein Schiff Relax' was cleared. The quay and the adjacent area were cordoned off, as are the Schlossgarten park and Kai St. An explosive ordnance disposal team arrived at the scene around 2:40 p.m. Several pallets containing suspicious items were discovered around 1:00 p.m. during a truck delivery. An initial check raised suspicions of explosives. The assessment by the explosive ordnance disposal team was commenced. The pallets remained on the quay area in front of the ship. The passenger check-in process was suspended. Around 100 passengers have gathered in the Schlossgarten area. Crew members from the 'Mein Schiff Relax', as well as staff from the Port of Kiel and companies involved in servicing the ship, were also waiting there. At 3.20 p.m. it turned out during the investigation, that the suspicious pallets in fact were loaded with spare parts, especially coils of wire, for the ship. Minimal traces of explosives had been found on the four pallets. It was deemed possible that the pallets were stored near explosives or fireworks before being transported to Kiel. The anomaly was noticed during a routine security check. All items, from passenger suitcases to provisions boxes, were inspected before getting onto the ship. The 'Mein Schiff Relax' left the port at 7 p.m. enroute to Oslo.

Medevac off Playa de Santiago
A pregnant woman and two companions were medically evacuated to San Sebastián de La Gomera from the 'Mein Schiff Relax', which was sailing 3.5 nautical miles south of Playa de Santiago, enroute from Santa Cruz de la Palma to Santa Cruz de Tenerife, on March 12, 2026. The SAR boat 'Salvamar Mizar' of Salvamento Marítimo embarked the three and transported them to a medical ambulance where they were picked up.
Medevac in Funchal
The 'Mein Schiff Relax' arrived in Madeira significantly earlier than originally planned. Following a medical emergency on board during the sea day on Feb 24, the speed of the ship, which was cruising the Canary Islands, was considerably increased to ensure that the affected passenger could be transferred to ashore for medical care as quickly as possible. The ship arrived in Funchal, Madeira, at midnight instead of Feb 25 at 7:00 a.m. The route of the ship was as follows: Santa Cruz de Tenerife – Arrecife – Las Palmas de Gran Canaria – Santa Cruz de La Palma – day at sea – Funchal – day at sea – Santa Cruz de Tenerife
