‘Strong demand’ prompts Tui River Cruises to add winter capacity
Seven extra Skyla sailings now on offer in Germany for festive season
Tui River Cruises has added seven more festive sailings to its winter 2023-24 range thanks to strong demand.
The cruise line said the extra itineraries follow “strong results”, with bookings up more than 30% year on year.
The expanded programme now features five additional Christmas market sailings on Tui Skyla, with five-night itineraries sailing from Mainz.
The company has also added two seven-night sailings on Tui Skyla covering Christmas Day and New Year’s Eve.
Chris Hackney, Tui UK and Ireland cruise managing director, said: “We’re seeing strong demand from customers, with bookings increasing by 30% compared to last year, and we’ve responded to this appetite by increasing our offerings.
“These itineraries feature stops at fairytale cities and bustling Christmas markets.”
Tui flights will be available from Manchester and Gatwick airports, with flight from Birmingham and Edinburgh airports through partner airlines.
There are three adult-only ships in the Tui River Cruises fleet: Tui Isla, Tui Skyla and Tui Maya.
