At the Fincantieri shipyard in Monfalcone, Italy, the new vessel Mein Schiff Flow was launched for the first time. The vessel, sister ship to the Mein Schiff Relax, began operations in April and becomes the second unit of the InTUItions class to be powered by liquefied natural gas(LNG), strengthening TUI Cruises’ commitment to maritime sustainability.

The ceremony included the blessing of the ship by the parish priest Roberto Benvenuto and the classic launching of a bottle of Prosecco against the hull. Anna Russo, owner of the shipyard, carried out this commemorative gesture that augurs good fortune on the high seas.
The flotation of the Mein Schiff Flow symbolizes our approach to a more conscious and relaxed tourism.
Soon we will be able to welcome on board those looking to disconnect and enjoy a different kind of trip.
Wybcke Meier, CEO of TUI Cruises.
The ship is distinguished by its low-emission propulsion using LNG, a technology that minimizes the environmental footprint. In addition, it offers a modern design and spaces designed for well-being, important specifications of the InTUItions class.
With approximately 130 million liters of water flooding the dry dock, the flotation was a logistical success. For his part, Fincantieri shipyard manager Cristiano Bazzara underlined the joint work with TUI Cruises as an example of innovation and precision in European shipbuilding.
