Star power, a mix of live action and a special premiere – this is how Germany's leading TV celebrity magazine "RTL Exclusiv" celebrated its 30th anniversary. In partnership with TUI Cruises, RTL hosted a glamorous event in Hamburg Harbor last Friday. VIP expert and RTL presenter Frauke Ludowig, together with TUI Cruises CEO Wybcke Meier, welcomed more than 2,500 guests aboard the cruise ship "Mein Schiff 7," including national and international celebrities such as La Toya Jackson, Dieter Bohlen, Bushido and his wife Anna-Maria Ferchichi, Ekaterina Leonova, Cora Schumacher, and Hardy Krüger.
For the first time, Frauke Ludowig hosted her show "Frauke trifft" as a live event on a large ship theater stage. Guests at the exclusive talk show included Bushido and his wife Anna-Maria, Natascha Ochsenknecht, and Evelyn Burdecki, who spoke openly and entertainingly about their private and love lives. The atmosphere was set before and after the show by live performances from Luca Hänni, who won the ninth season of the RTL talent show "DSDS" in 2012, and Anna Ermakova, daughter of Boris Becker and winner of "Let's Dance" in 2023. The anniversary program was rounded off by Frauke Ludowig's colleagues David Modjarad and Kena Amoa, who entertained guests with their stage show "RTL Exclusiv an Bord."
During the glamorous event on the Mein Schiff 7, guests not only talked and celebrated, but also ran. In cooperation with sponsor Vitamin Well/Barebells, guests raised money for the RTL Spendenmarathon charity marathon on treadmills. A total of €10,000 was raised.
