TUI‘s Mein Schiff has announced a new edition of its popular LGBTQIA+ themed voyage, ‘Rainbow Cruise: The Next Chapter – A Future of Unity‘, set to take place from 28 September to 3 October 2027 aboard Mein Schiff 2.
The five-night event cruise will sail round trip from Palma de Mallorca in Spain, with scheduled stops in Palermo in Sicily, and Cagliari in Sardinia, alongside two sea days designed for relaxation and onboard activities. Cabins are available to book immediately, with inside cabins starting from €1,099 per person.
Positioned as a celebration of diversity, openness and mutual respect, the cruise promises a mix of themed evening parties and a varied daytime programme. Guests can expect entertainment, talks, sports activities and community-focused events, all curated under the guiding theme ‘A Future of Unity’.
