Summary: TUI Cruises has launched a Mein Schiff edition of Monopoly that recreates ship hotspots and onboard activities for players at home, available from TUI's online shop for €49.90.

TUI Cruises has introduced a special Mein Schiff edition of Monopoly that allows players to experience elements of the cruise line’s onboard life without setting foot on a ship. The TUI Cruises Monopoly set invites fans to buy and own iconic ship locations and to engage with activity cards that mirror real onboard events and leisure options.

TUI Brings Mein Schiff to the Table

The themed game adapts Monopoly’s familiar mechanics—buying properties, collecting rent and progressing around the board—to the Mein Schiff environment. Players can purchase well-known ship features such as the TUI Bar and the pool deck and use the game to replicate the leisurely atmosphere of a Mein Schiff holiday.

How the Game Captures Onboard Life

Activity and event cards are central to the Mein Schiff edition. Each time a player draws one, they receive a randomly selected activity that passengers can experience on a TUI Cruises voyage—ranging from spa treatments and pool time to cocktails and trivia nights—adding an element of surprise and cruise-like variety to every session.

Some rounds can simulate relaxing spa moments, a dip in the pool, participation in shipboard games, or enjoying live shows. The activity cards are intended to increase immersion so players feel as though they are taking part in a day aboard Mein Schiff.

Family-Friendly Staycation Appeal

TUI Cruises positions the Mein Schiff Monopoly edition as suitable for families and cruise enthusiasts who want to relive or sample the vacation vibe at home. The set aims to reproduce the social and leisurely elements of a cruise, making it a game-night option for households seeking a maritime-themed staycation.

Keeping the Brand Experience Between Voyages
