Sophisticated entertainment theatre

Central to Mein Schiff 7 is its three-story, 2,500 m² theatre, equipped with state-of-the-art stage technology and acoustics that evoke a concert hall experience. With extensive experience developing theatres for previous Mein Schiff vessels, Merima was well-prepared to deliver another first-rate venue that promises unforgettable entertainment for guests from around the world.

Additionally, Merima developed the Schaubühne auditorium, an intimate 150-seat venue located on the Starfish deck. This area hosts a variety of performances, from stand-up comedy to magic shows and acrobatics, enhancing the ship’s entertainment options with unique, smaller-scale events.

Despite significant challenges during the installation process, Merima’s world-class Project Managers successfully delivered a flawless space on time and within budget.

Outdoor deck – combining activity and relaxation

The ambitious 4,000 m² outdoor deck seamlessly blends sports, leisure, and entertainment. Designed as a multipurpose space, it includes areas for basketball, open-air movie screenings, and a spectator stand for live events. Merima’s design provides a vibrant mix of active and relaxing experiences for guests to enjoy.

A standout feature of the outdoor deck is the expansive children’s area, divided into four tailored sections to suit different age groups. Each section is equipped with age-appropriate, tailored materials, safety features, and engaging designs to ensure children have a fun and immersive experience.

The deck also features four large drink and grill bars, each manufactured in-house at Merima’s production facility. Integrated into aluminium and steel canopies, these bars provide shaded areas where guests can unwind and dine, adding a refined touch to the deck’s overall atmosphere.

On the upper deck, Merima was also responsible for smaller areas like the Teens and Game lounges, designed to further enhance the ship’s family-friendly appeal.

Effective problem-solving fosters strong partnership

A large portion of the materials used throughout the ship were produced in-house at Merima’s factories, complemented by our extensive network of partners and suppliers who provided innovative solutions to complex challenges. This collaborative approach proved highly effective, enabling us to deliver everything on time and to the highest standards.

The outdoor areas faced unpredictable weather, including a sudden snowstorm that brought 30cm of snow onto the deck as late as April. This added pressure to an already tight deadline. Yet, the team remained undeterred and we’re immensely proud to contribute to the creation of this remarkable ship and can’t wait for people to experience it just as we envisioned!
