7th07 | DecDec | 202323 | Mainz, Germany, embark on the TUI Maya | 23:59 | |||
Tucked in to a curve in the Rhine River, Mainz takes the top spot as the capital of Germany’s wine country. Taverns stocked with world-renowned Riesling reds can be found around the town’s collection of squares, which each have their own individual style. Over in the Markt square, brightly coloured souvenir stalls are hemmed in by a border of Baroque-style houses. And the Kirschgarten area’s loaded with traditionally German, half-timbered houses and restaurants – the former of which date back to the 16th century. At the centre of it all sits the thousand-year-old Mainz Cathedral. History buffs can explore the tombs, where princes and archbishops of the Holy Roman Empire are buried. And the treasury’s packed with displays showcasing a collection of ancient artwork. | |||||||
8th08 | DecDec | 202323 | Speyer, Germany | ||||
Speyer is a town located in southwest Germany situated beside the river Rhine. Originally founded by the Romans, it is one of the oldest settlements in Germany and is situated in the popular wine growing region of the Palatinate. A key attraction of Speyer is the Historical Museum of the Palatinate, which is one of the most celebrated culture-history museums in Germany. It features five permanent collections including Prehistory, Roman Times, Cathedral Treasury, Modern Era and Wine Museum. Not far from the museum, visitors will find the Imperial Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which is considered the largest preserved Romanesque church in Europe. Originally constructed by Konrad II, this magnificent and looming building was intended to demonstrate the Lord’s religio-political claim to power against the papacy. Speyer has been producing wine since its Roman beginnings and wine tasting, festivals and events are popular all year round. The town is popular for outdoor activities such as hiking and cycling as well as guided walking tours of the town. The city of Speyer’s over 2,000 years old. It overlooks the Rhine, and is crammed with churches and a big cathedral. At its centre there’s a square that used to be a fish market. Today, there’s a fountain with a big fish sculpture in the middle to mark its historic importance. You can also visit the clock tower, which has got two ornate clock faces. Head inside to climb to the top of the tower and you’ll find far-stretching views across the cityscape. Back on the ground, head to one of the city’s many wine bars for a glass of locally produced vino. | |||||||
9th09 | DecDec | 202323 | Strasbourg, France | ||||
The city of Strasbourg has two distinct styles. Despite being in France, it’s right on the border with Germany, and has picked up a lot of its neighbour’s habits. For example, entire districts – like La Petite France – are stuffed with traditionally German-style dalmatian-coloured half-timbered houses, and the restaurants around Place Kleber – a big public square – offer a mix of French and German fare. With that said, the mother country hasn’t lost her influence. Strasbourg’s centerpiece – the 1,000-year-old Strasbourg Cathedral – flaunts the same Gothic look as Notre Dame, and the city’s collection of fine-art museums are loaded with priceless pieces from all over France. | |||||||
10th10 | DecDec | 202323 | Breisach, Germany | ||||
Breisach is a town located in Southwest Germany on the French border. The town is situated in the Rhine Valley on the banks of the river Rhine and dates back over four thousand years. Breisach and its history can be experienced through the City History Museum, which houses a permanent exhibition taking you from Stone Age through the Celtic, to the Romans and Middle Ages, right up to modern day. St Stephen's Cathedral is home to the city’s famous art treasures, the wheel wells, which are housed in the neighbouring Radbrunnenturm with the forty one metre deep water well. The cathedral is also home to many other treasures including the High Altar of Master HL and wall paintings by Martin Schongauer as well as High Gothic and Roman architecture. A visit to the Blue House, the former Jewish Community Centre, is highly recommended. Now owned by the Friends of Former Jewish Community House Breisach it exhibits memorials to Breisach’s Jewish heritage. The German town of Breisach sits on a vineyard-tangled edge of the Rhine. Its buildings, each with a red roof, stretch up to the Gothic turrets of St Stephen’s Church – the town’s pièce de résistance. Breisach’s particularly popular with fans of wine and history. From its authentic Medieval appearance and quaint cobbled streets, you’d never know that 85% of Breisach was flattened during World War Two and then later restored. And the Kaiserstuhl hills, 20 minutes’ drive north, are known for producing some of Germany's finest reds. The Black Forest’s also an hour’s drive away. These densely packed woods bring to mind fairy tales from the Brothers Grimm, and are a great place for keen walkers to explore. | |||||||
11th11 | DecDec | 202323 | Mannheim, Germany | ||||
Mannheim, in south-west Germany, blurs the line between classic and contemporary. It’s nicknamed the City of Squares, because of its American, grid-like layout. You’ll find quirky start-ups and an industrial bar scene in Jungbusch. Elsewhere, the grassy lawns of Friedrichsplatz are home to the Wasserturm – a century-old Romanesque tower – and Baroque architecture can be seen in the form of the Jesuit Church and Mannheim Palace. You can get a taste of Italy and the Orient in the Luisenpark. Gondoletta boats bob along the waterways, afternoon tea’s served in the Chinese Garden and there’s a huge tower for panoramic views. Nearby, you’ll find the Old Observatory, which dates back to the 1700s and was visited by Wolfgang Mozart in its pomp. | |||||||

Grade Code | From | To | |
ZS01 | Deck 1 Superior Cabin | £930 | £930 |
You’ll get a little bit of extra space with a 15m² superior cabin, which lines up a king-size bed – which can be converted into two singles – along with a desk and a lounge chair.
These cabins are the same size as all the standard cabins, at 12m², but they come with the added bonus of a French balcony. Floor-to-ceiling doors also make the views unmissable. There’s a desk and a fixed double bed.
These are like our standard single cabins, but instead of a porthole, you can take in the view from your own French balcony, which is complemented by floor-to-ceiling glass doors. That’s on top of a single bed, a desk and a lounge chair. Please note, the cabin image is the planned appearance.
Treat yourself to a French balcony suite, so you can make the most of the views. At 24m², they pack in a king-size bed, which can be converted into two singles. Plus, you’ll also get the added luxury of a bigger bathroom, a dressing area, a sofa, a coffee table and a desk. Please note, the cabin image is the planned appearance.
On Deck 2, the standard cabins come with a full-sized window, instead of a porthole. They’re still 12m2 and come with a desk and a fixed double bed.
Just like the superior cabins on Deck 1, these ones line up a king-size bed, which can be made into two singles, plus a desk and a lounge chair. They’re still 15m², but floor-to-ceiling glass doors lead out onto a French balcony. Please note, the cabin image is the planned appearance.

As well as sunbeds, the top deck’s laid out with tables and chairs for al fresco dining. When the weather permits, we’ll put on outdoor events, like barbecues. You can get drinks up here, too.
Things are a little more casual in Bistro, our second restaurant. It’s attached at the hip with Verdastro, giving you an extra dining option. Like Verdastro, it’s open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Plus, you can choose from the à la carte menu, or sample a bit of everything at the buffet.
There’s an elegant green-and-gold colour scheme in our main restaurant, which serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. The menu changes daily, with fresh, seasonal food sourced from local suppliers. A buffet station puts on a pile-your-plate-high spread for breakfast and lunch, as well. Meanwhile, dinner is an à la carte affair with waiter service. Seating-wise, you can pick from tables for two, or pull up a chair with friends on a table for four or six.

This lounge takes pride of place at the heart of our ships. As with all our venues, you can expect widescreen windows for admiring the panoramic views. You can get an even better look from the outdoor terrace, though – it’s a sheltered spot, kitted out with comfy sofas and heaters. After dark, Observatory hosts the nightly entertainment, which ranges from talented musicians to special guest acts, like comedians.
Coffee and cocktails are the cornerstones of this bar. Plush navy chairs, brass fittings and mirrored tables set a sophisticated scene. By day, you can sip a coffee* while taking in the views. At night, you can clink pre-dinner cocktails* in front of a roaring digital fireplace, before heading to one of the restaurants.
The views from the top deck are worth swooning over, but that’s not all it’s good for. It’s split into zones, with different areas for relaxation and activities. You’ll find a space for barbecues, sofas for lounging on, a sunbathing space with daybeds and sunbeds, and a herb garden. When you want to switch up the pace, there’s an area for activities, where yoga, pilates and stretching classes take place. You can check the full activity schedule once you’re onboard.
