TUI River Cruises Announces New European River Ship

TUI River Cruises is adding a new ship to its European fleet.

The 138-passenger, adults-only TUI Elara—which means “bright” in Greek—is scheduled to debut in March 2027.

The vessel will be the eighth ship in the TUI River Cruises fleet when she sets sail on the Rhine and Moselle rivers, as well as Dutch and Belgian waterways.

With the launch of TUI Elara, the company is also adding Brussels as a new port of call.

Bookings for the 70-cabin TUI Elara will open March 16. 

“Demand for more immersive, experience‑rich travel continues to grow, and TUI River Cruises is all about giving customers the freedom and flexibility to explore multiple rivers and destinations in their own way,”  says Katy Berzins, head of TUI River Cruises.
