Mein Schiff 3: See inside the largest ship ever to enter Portsmouth Harbour as delegates celebrated arrival

Onlookers were amazed at the majesty of Mein Schiff 3 as it entered the port yesterday morning.

A delegation from Shaping Portsmouth welcomed the onboard guests to Portsmouth after the vessel docked. The TUI cruise vessel is 293.3m in length and weighs 99,536 in gross tonnage.

Captivating drone footage was taken of Mein Schiff 3 throughout the day. Portsmouth International Port director, Mike Sellers, said it was a major coup for the vessel to call into the harbour.
