Plus, all our ships are Full Board Plus, which means three meals and drinks at mealtimes are included in your price. What's more, you can make use of free unlimited Wi-Fi on board.

Dining-wise, you’ve got your pick of two restaurants, Verdastro and Bistro. You can look forward to a six-course gala dinner on sailings of five nights or more, too. Our cruises are on a Full Board Plus basis, which means dining at our two restaurants and a range of mealtime drinks are included. If you fancy a bigger selection of drinks or want a glass of wine outside of mealtimes, you’ll need to upgrade to our All Inclusive package, or pay as you go.
Verdastro
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. For dinner, there’s always a meat, fish, veggie and pasta dish. A buffet station puts on a pile-your-plate-high spread for breakfast. Meanwhile, lunch and dinner are 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.
Bistro
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. You can choose from the buffet at breakfast and lunch, while dinner is an à la carte affair showcasing some of the produce from the region you are in. Plus, it hosts an afternoon tea buffet once per sailing.
Al Fresco Dining
As well as sunbeds, the top deck’s laid out with tables and chairs. When the weather permits, we’ll put on outdoor events, like barbecues. You can get drinks up here, too.
Evenings can be as relaxed or up-tempo as you like on board TUI Skyla – watch live music at Observatory, or nurse a cocktail at Club Lounge.
Observatory
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 tables and chairs. It’s happy hour here every evening, with discounted drinks and complimentary canapés. After dark, Observatory hosts the nightly entertainment, where the entertainment team perform West End hits, pop classics and rock and roll anthems. Interactive quizzes, local guest acts and silent discos are all on the cards here, too.
Club Lounge
Coffee and cocktails are the cornerstones of this bar. Plush purple 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.
*Premium coffee and cocktails aren’t included as part of the standard dining package. You’ll need to upgrade to our All Inclusive drinks package, or pay a little extra.
Top Deck
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. Plus, when you want to switch up the pace, there’s an area for activities, where deck games like minigolf, cornhole and shuffleboard take place. There’s giant chess and giant connect four up here, too. You can check the full activity schedule once you’re onboard.
Atrium
The Atrium is the main hub of our ships. It’s where you’ll find the Reception desk, as well as the Cruise Experience Manager, who can help with any questions and shore experience bookings. You can grab a book from the book shelves, play board games, or stock up on souvenirs from the onboard shop. Outside of mealtimes, you can grab a complimentary tea or coffee from the self-service station here.
Guest Acts and Special Events
We hand-pick our guest acts, so you can expect top talent when it comes to the entertainment. Think dancers, singers, and speakers. Other special events include stargazing and film screenings on the top deck (weather permitting).
Live Music
Come evening, the entertainment team perform West End hits, pop classics and rock and roll anthems, and lay on interactive quizzes, local guest acts, stargazing, and plenty more.
Game Shows and Quizzes
Our game shows and quizzes are fully interactive and use the latest technology. You can use our digital handsets to test your knowledge on everything from history to geography.
There are plenty of places to lounge on TUI Skyla. You can admire the views, sunbathe or try a stretching class on the top deck, or grab a book from the Atrium. There are two sets of restaurants and bars, as well.
Wellness Area
You can soothe any aching muscles in the Wellness Area. With a sauna and a whirlpool bath, it’s the perfect place to unwind after a day’s sightseeing.
Wellness Activities
We’ve got a whole load of new wellbeing activities for 2024, including ‘Motown Moves’, where you can get the blood pumping to some soulful classics, and ‘Walk a Mile’, where you’ll be given a pedometer to track your distance as you walk around the top deck and soak up the views. Plus, there’s our Wellness Centre onboard TUI Isla, TUI Maya and TUI Skyla, which includes a sauna and a whirlpool.
Games on the Top Deck
Minigolf, shuffleboard and quoits – where you throw a ring onto a stick – all take place on the top deck of your ship. You can play by yourself or take part in a tournament. Then there’s our new-for-2024 activities, like giant chess and virtual reality golf.
Please Note: TUI River Cruises are for adults only, so all passengers will need to be at least 18 years old.
You’ve got your pick of all sorts of daytime activities. There are wellness-themed activities, too, like yoga and Pilates. And if games are more your thing, head to the top deck for a few rounds of minigolf.
Culture, Crafts and Talks
We also have daily talks that cover everything from destination information to local traditions in some of our ports.
