Century Casinos Opens Latest Cruise Ship Casino

Century Casinos opened their newest casino Saturday when TUI Cruises' Mein Schiff departed on its maiden voyage.

Mein Schiff's casino includes 31 slot machines and five gambling tables offering American roulette, blackjack and poker. The ship, the former Celebrity Galaxy, carries 1,924 passengers in double occupancy and is the first ship in the TUI fleet.

Century is under contract to operate casinos on all the ships TUI Cruises places into service by the end of 2012. The line plans to have three ships in service by that time. TUI Cruises is the partnership between Royal Caribbean Cruises and German travel company TUI AG.

Century also operates casinos aboard Silversea's Silver Cloud and all the vessels of Oceania Cruises.
