November 2025 will see TUI Maya make the brand's debut on the Danube, with a range of four- and five-night itineraries available throughout the festive season.
Katy Berzins, TUI River Cruises' head of river cruises, said the winter programme is "giving customers the chance to explore even more cities during the festive period for the very first time. By introducing the new four-night sailings down the Danube and Rhine, it will offer a chance for new-to-cruise customers to experience our fleet for the first time for a shorter duration."
TUI Maya's winter programme stars the 'Yuletide Delights' five-night sailing calling in Vienna, Budapest and Bratislava, the five-night 'Festive Danube Delights' voyage sailing in Austria and Slovakia and an 'Austrian Christmas Flavours' four-night itinerary sailing to Vienna, Dürnstein, Melk and Linz, all guaranteeing a hefty dose of Christmas spirit.
Seven-night options include 'Danube Christmas Treasures', celebrating the special day itself aboard TUI Maya in Germany, Austria, Hungary and Slovakia from £818 per person, and 'A Danube New Year' sailing in Vienna, Budapest, Esztergom, Bratislava and Dürnstein.
Shorter four-night options will set sail on TUI Isla, including the 'Christmas Carols & Castles' trip calling at Düsseldorf, Cologne, Rüdesheim and Koblenz. TUI Skyla will host a new four-night 'Glühwein on the Rhine' sailing to Cologne, Düsseldorf and Koblenz.
