On 20 June. when the Mein Schiff 5 was delivered, three ships in various stages on construction could be seen at the Meyer Turku shipyard: the complete Mein Schiff 5 for TUI Cruises, Megastar for Tallink almost ready for float-out, and the Mein Schiff 6 for TUI Cruises in early stages of assembly.
The Megastar will be named and floated out Friday this week, with the naming ceremony to be carried out by Finland's former president Tarja Halonen; I will be in Turku to witness the ceremony, so look forward to more photos later this week. The ship will be delivered early next year, if all goes well. The Mein Schiff 6, on the other hand, is slated for a spring 2016 delivery.
As per the usual, click on the individual images to see them in larger size.

| A solo shot of the Mein Schiff 5. The general opinion seems to be that the ship looks awful, but I think she's quite alright in terms of exterior design. A nice, simple design that avoids trying too hard. |

| Another shot showing all three, because why the hell not? |
 |
| The Megastar will be an interesting one, her exterior design is a radical departure from the style of Tallink's previous Finnish-built newbuilds, and the dSign Vertti Kivi & Co -designed interiors promise to be different from her predecessors too. |
