TUI River Cruises will sail its first-ever music-themed sailing, “Rewind on the Rhine,” this fall. 

The three-night itinerary onboard the TUI Skyla will combine cruising through the castles, vineyards and riverside towns surrounding the Rhine in Germany with music programming featuring hits from the ‘70s and ‘80s. 

According to a statement, the cruise will depart Frankfurt on November 18, 2026, sail down the Rhine and stop in Koblenz and Rüdesheim, before returning to Frankfurt on November 21, 2026. 

“This themed cruise marks another exciting milestone for the brand as we celebrate five years of sailing. Our ‘Rewind on the Rhine’ music themed sailing will bring the spirit of music through the decades, packed with nostalgia, entertainment and fun,” said Katy Berzins, head of river cruise, TUI River Cruises. 

“It’s the perfect opportunity for both our loyal river cruise customers and those new to the experience to discover why TUI River Cruises continues to be a choice for unforgettable river cruise holidays.” 

Headlined by BBC Radio DJ, Gary Davies and ABBA Tribute Band Revival, the sailing will also host a birthday themed event celebrating TUI River Cruises’ fifth anniversary. 

“Being able to be a part of TUI River Cruises’ first ever themed cruise is truly exciting, especially highlighting the great decades of the 70s and 80s. I cannot wait to bring customers back to the glory years of music whilst sailing the river Rhine,” added Davies. 

Guests will be able to enjoy silent discos, decade-themed quizzes and themed performances from the onboard entertainment team.  

Films celebrating the era will also be shown, paired with special onboard moments celebrating the brand’s five years of sailing. 

The themed cruise is now on sale, with prices starting from £799 per person.
