TUI River Cruises Unveils Plans for Summer 2023

A picture-perfect town located in the middle of the Rhine Valley, home to a striking tower that has been keeping a watchful eye over the town since the 15th century.

Guests sailing on 4 August, Legend of the Rhine itinerary can experience the festival of 1,000 lights with live bands and music shows during the day and a spectacular firework display in the evening which can be viewed in all its glory from the top deck of the ship.

Customers sailing on 23 July can enjoy Mainz summer lights festival where the riverside promenade will be lined with food and souvenir stalls accompanied by live music and after sunset fireworks.

The Bavarian Discovery itinerary will be an Oktoberfest-themed sailing departing from Frankfurt and taking in eight ports of call in Germany – Wertheim, Wurzburg, Marktbreit, Bamberg, Nuremberg, Boppard, Regensburg and Passau.

Guest experts will host on-board beer tastings as well hosting speaker events.

Guests will also be able to enjoy beer-focussed shore experiences from brewery visits and tastings to sightseeing tours. 

After the successful launch of the new river cruise line with the christening of TUI Maya this summer, her sister ship, TUI Skyla will set sail on the Mistletoe & Rhine itinerary later this month with her inaugural sailing on 23 November.

The third ship, TUI Isla, will complete the fleet next spring.
