Fincantieri and TUI Cruises celebrated the delivery of Mein Schiff Flow at the Monfalcone shipyard.
The vessel represents the second of two next-generation InTUItion class cruise ships, designed for dual-fuel operation using LNG and MGO.
The delivery ceremony brought together senior executives from both companies, including Wybcke Meier, CEO of TUI Cruises, Biagio Mazzotta, chairman of Fincantieri and Pierroberto Folgiero, CEO and MD of Fincantieri.
Luigi Matarazzo, GM of Fincantieri's Merchant Ships Division, and Cristiano Bazzara, director of the Monfalcone shipyard, also attended alongside the Prefect of Gorizia, Ester Fedullo, the Mayor of Monfalcone, Luca Fasan, and regional civil and military authorities.
The approximately 160,000 gt vessel accommodates about 4,000 passengers. Mein Schiff Flow is prepared to use low-emission alternative fuels such as bio-LNG and e-LNG. The ship features catalytic converters compliant with Euro 6 standards, a steam turbine utilising residual heat from diesel generators, and an electrical shore-power connection.
The vessel incorporates an efficient waste treatment system capable of transforming organic materials into recyclable components through a thermal process.
"Con la entrega del Mein Schiff Flow, celebramos un nuevo hito en nuestra colaboración con TUI Cruises y reafirmamos el papel estratégico del astillero de Monfalcone como centro de excelencia en la construcción naval mundial", dijo Folgiero.
"Aquí, la innovación, la sostenibilidad y la experiencia industrial se transforman cada día en capacidad productiva y competitividad internacional.
"Este logro demuestra la fortaleza de un ecosistema que sigue evolucionando, invirtiendo en las tecnologías del futuro y mejorando el know-how industrial de Italia".
Agradeció a quienes "contribuyeron a hacer posible este importante hito".
TUI and Fincantieri signed a contract in September 2025 for the construction of two additional InTUItion-class vessels, sister ships to "Mein Schiff Relax" and "Mein Schiff Flow", scheduled for delivery in 2031 and 2032 respectively.
