Concordia Damen to Build Two Methanol-Ready Ships for TUI River Cruises

TUI River Cruise has contracted Concordia Damen to build two new river cruise ships at its Werkendam shipyard, following an order announced in March. The 188-guest vessels, designed for the UK market, will feature 94 cabins and are expected to be delivered in 2028. They will incorporate an innovative hull shape and sustainable technologies, and will be methanol ready. This expansion will increase TUI River Cruise's fleet from six to ten ships, which will operate across various European rivers, including the Rhine, Nile, and Douro.
