TUI to launch river cruises in 2020 - take a sneak peek at its three new ships

TUI is set to launch a host of river cruises in summer 2020, on board three brand new passenger ships.

Named TUI Maya, TUI Isla and TUI Skyla, the three ships will offer plenty of sailings to the likes of Europe - and now the travel giant has offered a sneak peek of what passengers can expect on board.

The company has unveiled a series of artists' impressions showing off the designs of everything from the decks to the cabins and lounges, which look pretty stylish and elegant.

Think chic restaurants for romantic á la carte dinners, laidback lounges where you can tuck into bar snacks or opt for a cocktail, and heaps of seating on the deck so you can bask in the sunshine and take in those breathtaking river views.
