Frequently asked questions
Is the Mein Schiff Relax Norwegian fjords route rough?
+
Usually gentle in season. Mein Schiff Relax reaches Norway from Kiel through the Skagerrak, so open water comes in short blocks rather than a long crossing, and the fjord days themselves are protected water.
When does Mein Schiff Relax sail the Norwegian fjords?
+
Seven Norway departures sit on the 2026 plan between May and October, from 7 to 14 nights. The June to August middle of the season carries the calmest odds.
Where does Mein Schiff Relax leave from for the fjords?
+
Kiel is the season base, with Hamburg in the rotation at the edges of the program. Both mean a German North Sea or Baltic approach rather than a UK style open Atlantic start.
