Rachel’s Diary

Rachel

Relax Mode Activated with Mein Schiff®

Recently, I had the chance to participate in a Mein Schiff® cruise, which was also my first cruise. Eight days at sea, punctuated by Mediterranean discoveries. During this cruise, I had the opportunity to stay on board the Mein Schiff® Relax where everything is designed to make you feel good. Really good. I loved this new experience that offered me a nice balance: varied stopovers where you can discover several destinations in a very short time, rich in discoveries, and long days on board, ideal for refocusing, relaxing, enjoying… without ever rushing. A way to let your mind escape with a view of the vastness of the sea.

My favorite

The sauna in the Spa area

The sauna on the horizon was my personal highlight. Nestled at the front of the ship, with its large bay windows open to the sea, it offers a rare experience: being enveloped by heat while contemplating infinity. And the best part? This wellness area is included in the Premium all-inclusive package. No extra charge, no complicated booking: just let yourself be carried away. At this moment, time seems suspended. It’s a moment of pure disconnection, almost meditative, where you feel both tiny in the face of the ocean and deeply at peace.

Activities I recommend

A massage at sea

The wellness area is one of the most beautiful I have seen at sea. A soothing atmosphere, a breathtaking view, and a real sense of letting go.

Wandering the streets of Valldemossa, in Majorca

This small village nestled in the Serra de Tramuntana is a gem. Stone alleys, flowered balconies, scents of oranges... a postcard setting at human scale.

Climbing to Notre-Dame de la Garde in Marseille

A pleasant walk from the Old Port, and at the arrival, an incredible view of the city and the Mediterranean. One of the most beautiful panoramas of the trip.

Yoga at sunrise

Accessible to everyone, this morning break on the upper deck is a beautiful way to start the day. Breathe, stretch, let the sea inspire you.

My advice

My itinerary: Barcelona – Palma (Majorca) – Ajaccio (Corsica) – Marseille (France) – Barcelona

A cruise is a bit like a floating city, but with the privilege of a scenery that changes every day. On board the Mein Schiff® Relax, culinary delights know no time limits. Thanks to the Premium all-inclusive package, several restaurants are freely available, each with its own personality: refined Mediterranean cuisine, vegetarian options, light dishes… all without extra charge. And always with a view of the sea as a backdrop. What I particularly appreciated is the consistent quality and care given to hygiene, visible in every dining area.

In the evening, it’s a real pleasure to indulge in a house cocktail, a glass of wine, or a hot drink, always with a breathtaking view of the sea. Everything is designed for enjoyment without constraints, in an elegant and relaxed atmosphere.

And if I had to choose my cabin again for a future cruise with the Mein Schiff® Relax, I wouldn’t hesitate a second: the Premium Veranda cabin. Perfect for two, it offers optimal comfort… and above all, this incomparable little luxury: the ability to lie in the hammock facing the sea, at any time.
