TUI Cruises recently revealed the first itineraries the Mein Schiff Flow, which will start cruising in 2026.
Currently under construction at the Fincantieri shipyard in Italy, the second ship in the company’s InTUItion class will spend its inaugural season in the Western Mediterranean.
According to a press release, the Mein Schiff Flow is scheduled to embark on its first cruise on Aug. 16, 2026.
Sailing from Palma de Mallorca, the 4,000-guest vessel will offer a series of nine- to 11-night cruises that also visit destinations in the Atlantic.
For its first cruise, the LNG-powered ship will offer a nine-night cruise that includes visits to Civitavecchia, La Spezia, Barcelona, Valencia and Marseille.
During its maiden season, in addition to destinations in Italy, France and Spain, the Mein Schiff Flow is set to visit ports of call in Portugal and Morocco.
Guests can also look forward to overnight stays in Palma de Mallorca at the beginning or end of each trip, TUI said.
Other highlights of the deployment include visits to destinations in Sicily, Sardinia and Corsica, including Palermo, Cagliari and Ajaccio.
As a sister to the Mein Schiff Relax, which is scheduled to enter service in 2025, the new Mein Schiff Flow will feature a new design that focuses on wellbeing.
According to TUI, the 161,000-ton vessel will invite passengers to “leave the hustle and bustle and obligations of everyday life far behind and rediscover your inner lightness and carefreeness.”
A light and airy design will be evident in public areas, suites and cabins, the company said, with features created to ensure the highest levels of enjoyment, freedom and relaxation.
The project of the Mein Schiff Flow is also focused on environmental and climate protection. In addition to running on LNG, the ship will be equipped with improved catalytic converters and a shore power connection.
