TUI Cruises has confirmed the order of a
second ship from STX Finland.
Scheduled to go into production in Jun 2013
and slated for delivery in Mar 2015, the vessel
will weigh in at 99,300 tons, serve 2,500
guests, house 1,000 crew, and measure 294
metres long by approximately 36 metres

According to STX, the vessel will sport many
environmentally friendly features, and will
have a particular emphasis on its energy
efficiency.
“After being just four years in the business
and after successfully putting two ships on the
market – Mein Schiff 1 and Mein Schiff 2 – we
are proud to proceed with building our first
new ship and that way continue the growth of
our fleet,” said Richard Vogel, CEO of TUI
Cruises.
“We have been extremely busy with the
planning over the past two years, but now
things are really starting to move,” he added.
