In September 2018 Tui Discovery will move to Southampton where it will finish its summer sailing four itineraries; Fantastic Fjords, Baltic Treasures, European Experience and Seeking the Northern Lights.
The new European Experience itinerary visits Germany, Belgium and France, with an overnight onboard stay in Amsterdam, and Seeking the Northern Lights will take customers to the northernmost city in Norway to spot the phenomenon.

Thomson Cruises’ newest ship, which is currently sailing as Mein Schiff 1 for Tui Cruises will also homeport in Palma, Majorca.
Managing director of Thomson Cruises, Richard Sofer, said: “The move to bring Tui Discovery to both the north and the south of the UK also shows our commitment to offering choice and flexibility to our customers, giving them the opportunity to sail from a region close to home, as well as offering flights to other destinations from local airports.”
