TUI Reveals More 2009 Details

TUI Cruises, the joint venture between German TUI AG and Royal Caribbean Cruises, will be homeporting its first ship in Kiel on its Baltic Sea and Scandinavia sailings, according to a company spokesperson. The 10-night cruises will run from May through September.

The ship, currently sailing as Celebrity Cruises’ Galaxy, will also sail 11-night cruises in the Western Mediterranean from Majorca from September through November, before repositioning to the Caribbean, where she will sail two alternating seven-day itineraries from Santo Domingo.

The 1996-built Galaxy can currently accommodate approximately 1,900 passengers. However, the ship is slated to be converted for the German market – which will include the addition of more staterooms – at a cost of 50 million euros. TUI is also expecting to introduce two 100,000-ton, 2,500-passenger newbuilds in 2011 and 2012.
