TUI Cruises, a joint venture between Royal Caribbean and TUI AG has announced construction for not one, but three new cruise ships in the coming years. With six ships already in service, the Hamburg-based cruise line is poised for significant growth, to meet the rising demand for cruise vacations.
The seventh vessel, Mein Schiff 7 is set to join the fleet this year. While specific details about the naming ceremony remain undisclosed, the ship is expected to embark on its inaugural voyage in June 2024. Drawing inspiration from its sister ships, Mein Schiff 1 and Mein Schiff 2, this vessel promises an identical cruise experience with a few notable modifications, including individual cabins.
March 2025 marks the eagerly anticipated launch of Mein Schiff Relax, the first unit of the new InTUItion class. Unlike any other ship in the fleet, Mein Schiff Relax promises a unique cruise experience. 
TUI Cruises has revealed plans for a second ship in the InTUItion class, slated for production in 2026 at Fincantieri shipyard in Monfalcone, Italy.. The recent announcement of the commencement of production for this sister ship hints at a continuation of TUI’s ambitious expansion.
