TUI AG transfers two newbuild slots to TUI Cruises reinforcing its strategic realignment and long-term growth ambitions in the UK and Northern Europe
The newbuild slots at Fincantieri were originally announced by TUI on March 31, 2025. Under the new arrangement, Marella has released these slots to TUI Cruises. TUI Cruises has subsequently entered into new shipbuilding contracts with Fincantieri for larger vessels that better suit its fleet requirements. Marella’s down-payment to Fincantieri will be reimbursed.
EAT contribution to TUI from the new ships is expected to be similar to that of the sister vessels Mein Schiff Relax and Mein Schiff Flow. This strategic realignment means TUI Group’s net leverage will be unaffected by these newbuilds, with the company remaining firmly committed to achieving a net leverage ratio strongly below 1.0x in the mid-term.
Marella Cruises, which holds a leading position in the UK cruise market, will continue its successful operations with the existing fleet. The current cooperation with TUI's tour operator in the UK and TUI Airline will remain unchanged.
