Fincantieri has launched TUI Cruises’ second InTUItion-class ship, Mein Schiff Flow, at its Monfalcone shipyard in Italy.
The launching ceremony was attended by Daniele Fanara, senior vice president of new building and after sales of the Fincantieri Merchant Ships Division; Cristiano Bazzara, director of the Monfalcone shipyard; and Wybcke Meier, CEO of TUI Cruises.
Designed for duel-fuel operation using LNG and marine gas oil, Mein Schiff Flow is the second ship in the InTUItion class, following sister ship Mein Schiff Relax’s delivery in February. The ship is prepared to use bio- or e-LNG and will feature catalytic converters meeting Euro 6 standards, a waste heat recovery system and a shore power connection. It will also be equipped with a waste treatment system capable of transforming organic materials into recyclable components through a thermal process.
Mein Schiff Flow is scheduled to enter service in mid-2026.
