Welcome to TUI River Cruises! 
This fleet of three small and adult-only ships - TUI Isla, TUI Mayla, and TUI Skyla - sail along the Danube, Rhine, Moselle, Main, and Dutch and Belgian waterways; whisking you past pinch-yourself landscapes and dropping anchor at the very heart of vibrant destinations. 
From big cities like Budapest and Vienna to hidden gems like Cochem and Durnstein; you'll benefit from £120 of excursion credit to embark on a range of active, relaxed, adventurous, and educational excursions of your choice at your ports of call - perhaps go sightseeing with a local expert, sample wines of the region, or set out on a guided bike ride?

Discover the ships that define this cruise line - each offering its own blend of style, comfort, and adventure at sea.

TUI River Cruises offers journeys along some of Europe’s most popular waterways, including the Danube, Rhine, Main, Moselle and Douro rivers, giving travellers the opportunity to explore historic cities, cultural landmarks and picturesque landscapes through relaxing, all-inclusive river cruise holidays.

Life onboard combines first-class service and great facilities, with tasty dining and a friendly and intimate grown-up atmosphere. A world where you can relax and watch the world go by, practice Pilates on deck, savour a romantic a la carte dinner for two, sip cocktails to live music in the observatory, socialise with new friends, or enjoy quality entertainment. 


The stylish and well-equipped cabins and suites create the perfect environment in which to unwind and re-charge. Expect a porthole, window, or French balcony to admire the riverside views and also welcome touches such as air-conditioning, hairdryer, flat-screen television, safe, and tea/coffee making facilities. 

Each cruise is on a Full Board Plus basis with dining in the two restaurants and a range of drinks included in your cruise fare; there's tea, coffee, and juices with breakfast and soft drinks, beer, and wine with lunch and dinner. Personalise your cruise with different restaurant options and a premium drinks package, or choose your cabin, excursions, and favourite cocktail.

It’s all about choice with TUI River Cruises. Our ships double up on restaurants and bars, and there are no set dining times either, so you can sit down to eat at a time that suits you.

All of our European cruises are on a Full Board Plus basis, so dining at our two restaurants and a selection of drinks at mealtimes come as standard. The tipples on offer include hand-picked wines from the local region at dinnertime. A swanky six-course gala dinner’s included on cruises of five nights or more. And if you fancy having all your drinks thrown into the mix, there’s an All Inclusive drinks package available – you can upgrade when you book or once you’re onboard.

Our River Nile ships – TUI Al Horeya and TUI Bahareya – are All Inclusive as standard.

Day or night, we’ve got heaps to do onboard our ships. Daytime activities include the likes of wellness classes and virtual reality golf, and you can play games like minigolf and giant chess on the top deck, too. In the evenings, you can expect a variety of entertainment, with live performances of everything from West End hits to rock-and-roll anthems. There are also local guest acts and more low-key activities like interactive quizzes and silent discos. And now and then we’ll throw something totally different into the mix – like stargazing from the top deck.

We’ve got a range of shore experiences to choose from, with everything from guided city tours to wine-tasting sessions on the cards. And if you prefer to explore at your own pace, you can do that, too. Most of our ports are in the heart of the destination, so you can hop off and sightsee at your leisure. Plus, if you book one of our new Nile cruises for next winter, two excursions are included in the price.

Peace of mind

We take care of everything, whether it’s a cancellation, an itinerary change or a tour that runs over – we’ll handle any unplanned changes, so you’ll never be left in the lurch. And, lots of our shore experiences give you the flexibility to cancel for free, up to 48 hours before you’re due to set off.

River Cruise Collection

Our River Cruise Collection experiences are handpicked and come with knowledgeable guides from the local region who’ll feed you expert information. These experiences are exclusively for TUI River Cruises guests, and you’ll be picked up and dropped off at the ship. You’ll find audio headsets in your cabin, too.

Attractions and tickets

Our attractions and tickets are ideal for people who want to explore the destinations on their own. You make your own way there, and sightsee at your own pace, using the hop-on-hop-off bus, whizz around the port on an E-scooter, or join a group with non-TUI River Cruises guests for experiences like food tasting tours.
