E-Bikes: TUI Cruises stattet Kreuzfahrtschiffe mit Shimano Steps angetriebenen TRENGA DE E-Bikes aus

5. Mai 2016 by Andreas Waldera 1 Comment

E-Performance: Das junge Kreuzfahrtunternehmen TUI Cruises wird ab Sommer 2016 die Mein Schiff Flotte mit hochwertigen E-Bikes von TRENGA DE ausstatten. Für den kraftvollen Schub der insgesamt 112 Pedelecs sorgt das leicht bedienbare Shimano Steps Antriebssystem. Zum Einsatz kommen zwei eBike-Modelle: Ein klassischer Tiefeinsteiger sowie eine sportliche Light-Offroad-Version.

Mit den TRENGA DE E-Bikes erweitert TUI Cruises das sportliche Angebot an Bord der <i>Mein Schiff</i> Flotte um ein weiteres Highlight. Landausflüge und das Erkunden fremder Länder lassen sich so noch komfortabler und unkomplizierter gestalten. In den kommenden zwei Jahren werden die TRENGA DE E-Bikes den Bordgästen zur Verfügung stehen, sei es für die gemütliche Runde durch Hafenstädte, als auch für den Ausflug ins bergige Umland abseits befestigter Straßen. Abhängig von den Wünschen des Fahrers werden zwei Ebike Modelle mit unterschiedlichem Einsatzgebiet angeboten.

Für lässiges Cruisen durch die Stadt oder über die Strandpromenade bietet sich das SLE MS STEPS an. Der klassische Tiefeinsteiger besticht mit einem unkomplizierten Durchstieg und eignet sich somit auch sehr gut für Senioren. Ausgestattet ist das SLE MS STEPS mit einer elektronischen Shimano Nexus Di2 Nabenschaltung mit Vollautomatik-Funktion. Das Light-Offroad-Ebike GLE MS STEPS lädt zum Erkunden des Hinterlandes ein. Für knackige Gangwechsel verfügt das Hardtail über eine 10-fach Shimano SLX Schaltung. An beiden E-Bike Modellen ist für einen höheren Komfort und noch mehr Fahrsicherheit zudem eine Federgabel verbaut.

Die Fahrradbestände der Mein Schiff Flotte werden ab Mai 2016 sukzessive erneuert. Fabian Sütel und Torben Eisenschmidt, beide Shore Activities Manager bei TUI Cruises, freuen sich sehr über die Kooperation: „Wir sind besonders stolz darauf mit Shimano, Paul Lange und TRENGA DE zuverlässige Partner gefunden zu haben, die unseren hohen Qualitätsansprüchen auch zukünftig gerecht werden, um unseren Gästen die Möglichkeit bieten zu können mit dem E-Bike die schönsten Destinationen dieser Welt zu erkunden“ .

Wir haben die Råder auf unser Kreutzfahrt mit „Mein Schiff 3“ im Winter 2016 in Dubai ausprobiert. Jetzt haben mein Frau und ich ( beide 50+ ) zwei GLE bestellt!

Co-Lab Rhodes: TUI tour guides switch to e-bikes – number of cars reduced by half

• Pilot project is part of TUI's initiatives for sustainable transport at holiday destinations
• In the Co-Lab, TUI, the governments of the South Aegean and Greece develop models for more sustainable holiday destinations
• Guest service in hotels more often with bicycles than with cars

Rhodes is an important destination for TUI to develop new sustainability initiatives. The Destination Co-Lab Rhodes was founded for this purpose. Experiences and initiatives from the Co-Lab Rhodes are to be transferred to other holiday destinations and thus advance the industry in its sustainable transformation. Both approaches count for TUI: the major strategic initiatives and smaller projects that can be implemented immediately, are role models for other destinations and thus can have a major impact. From now on, for example, the TUI service team on Rhodes travels from hotel to hotel with new bikes. 30 e-bikes and 30 cargo bikes have arrived for the 250 tour guides on the island.

The TUI bikes will help reduce emissions and provide the team with more environmentally friendly transport options. The Rhodes team will use the e-bikes for distances longer than a 40-minute walk, while regular bikes will be available to the team for distances longer than 20 minutes. The number of cars available will be reduced from more than 100 to 60. By 2024, this number will be further reduced. The e-bikes pilot project brings the island one step closer to its goal of being climate neutral by 2030.

“Short journeys by car are thus increasingly a thing of the past. Colleagues in guest services are using e-bikes and bicycles when going from hotel to hotel on the island. Only for longer distances will they continue to use cars. Co-Lab Rhodes is the ideal place to launch the pilot project and gain insights,” says Sebastian Ebel, CEO of TUI Group. TUI Group, the TUI Care Foundation and the governments of the South Aegean region and Greece had joined forces in January 2022 and established the Destination Co-Lab Rhodes to jointly develop a holiday destination sustainably at all levels.

The e-bikes pilot project is part of TUI's sustainability commitment . At the beginning of the year, TUI presented its Sustainability Agenda. It includes ambitious plans and targets to enable the positive effects of tourism to unfold and to significantly reduce the company's ecological footprint. Emission reductions are an important part of this commitment to more sustainability. 99 per cent of TUI's emissions are generated in the airline, cruise and hotel sectors. TUI has set ambitious reduction targets for 2030, which have been validated and confirmed by the independent Science Based Targets initiative. However, emissions are also generated directly in the destinations – albeit in comparatively smaller quantities. With its own strategy for sustainable transport at the destination, TUI is working to reduce emissions in these areas as well and will offer more sustainable alternatives for local transport at the holiday destination. For TUI, every single initiative counts.

TUI Skyla Review

Review of tui skyla.

The 2020-built/2021-inaugurated TUI Skyla cruise ship, like the sisterships TUI Isla and TUI Maya , is a riverboat owned by TUI AG and operated by its subsidiary company "TUI UK and Ireland". The new brand "TUI River Cruises" (tui.co.uk/river-cruises) was established in 2019 and targets predominantly the UK passenger sourcing. The 3 TUI boats were officially launched in 2020 following extensive drydock refit (and complete refurbishment) projects. However, due to the Coronavirus crisis, the brand's inauguration was postponed for ~1,5 years (August 2021 instead of the planned March 2020).

The vessel (ENI number 65000001) was launched in 2010 (originally named "TUI Sonata") being built by P+S WERFTEN GmbH (shipyard in Stralsund Germany ) and with original passenger capacity 188. Its initial owner was Premicon Flussreisen GmbH ( Limassol Cyprus -based river shipowner). When chartered by Werner-Tours Touristikinternational GmbH, the ship was named "WT Sonata". TUI Sonata's sisterships were TUI Allegra (fka Excellence Allegra, now TUI ISLA) and TUI Melodia (fka Excellence Melodia, now TUI MAYA).

The boat TUI Skyla is currently Malta- flagged (MMSI 248684000) and registered in Valletta .

TUI River Cruises (company/brand history and ownership)

TUI River Cruises ( fleet ) is a separate company part (fully-owned subsidiary) of TUI AG (British-German travel and tourism corporation). Part of TUI Group is also TUI Cruises - a UK-based joint venture cruise company (50-50) of TUI AG and RCCL-Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd (USA-based passenger shipping company). TUI started cruise shipping operations in 2009, targeting predominantly the German-speaking market with a premium travel vacation product. German and English are the main onboard languages on all TUI Schiffs (ships). TUI's sister-brands are Marella Cruises UK and Hapag-Lloyd-Cruises .

TUI's newest travel brand offers adults-only riverboat travel experiences with the ultimate flexibility to create luxury sailing vacations with a choice of optional packages. TUI UK's customers are able to add to the shipboard basis shore excursions (land tours), beverages (beer, wine, soft drinks with all meals) or premium drinks package. TUI's new cruise company also provides some of the industry's most spacious staterooms (including Suites with step-out balconies) and the most extravagant Sundeck areas currently available on the European market.

The German corporation TUI AG (shipowner) announced in April 2019 that it had acquired 3 riverboats for its new UK-focused brand "TUI River Cruises". The new company was due to start operations in 2020-Q2 (summer), complementing TUI's UK brand Marella.

Bookings on TUI's riverboats were opened on April 25, 2019.

In December 2019, TUI signed an exclusive partnership with Live Business UK (one of Europe's largest entertainment program developers and suppliers) for TUI River Cruises. By this deal, Live Business UK prepared the onboard entertainment programming for the boats and is also responsible for recruiting cruise directors, hosts, ship musicians, guest performers, local tour guides and other experts.

TUI Skyla Wiki

TUI Skyla (ENI number 65000001) belongs to the TwinCruiser boat type, in which passenger sections are structurally separated from the drive unit. TwinCruiser-class riverboats have two separate hulls linked to each other by clutches. The advantage of such separation is that the transmission of vibrations and noises can be mostly avoided.

The vessel TUI Skyla (inaugurated in August 2010 as TUI Sonata) is powered by two MTU marine diesel engines (model 12V-4000 M60) with total power output 1,6 MW. The engine builder MTU Friedrichshafen is a subsidiary of Rolls-Royce Power Systems and among the world's largest manufacturers of diesel engines and propulsion systems. MTU produces diesel engines for ships (passenger and cargo vessels), heavy vehicles, military vehicles and trains in the power range 20 kW to 10 MW (up to 13410 HP output) and also sells Mercedes-Benz engines for industrial applications and gas turbines.

The riverboat's propulsion system is based on two 4-wing Veth rudder propellers plus one bow thruster (Jastram Azimuth Jet). Onboard energy supply is provided by three diesel generator sets (310 kVA, model Cummins KT-1150-G).

TUI Skyla ship was officially christened on November 24, 2021, by godmother Catherine Hawkins (college exam officer).

Cycling Cruises

Why opting for a cruise is a smart choice

A Santana Adventures bike cruise uses a chartered ship to provide better cycling through multiple regions with luxurious flexibility. On any day you can ride long, short, or not at all.

If you opt not to ride you can stay aboard for the scenic morning cruise or join Sergio for a guided tour by bus. Either way the ship spends late afternoons docked at a fascinating port before traveling up to 150 miles overnight to reach our following day’s adventure.

Imagine the convenience, security, and comfort of returning to the same 5-star resort after each day’s ride, and the excitement of exploring an entirely new region the following day.

Moscow Metro

The Moscow Metro Tour is included in most guided tours’ itineraries. Opened in 1935, under Stalin’s regime, the metro was not only meant to solve transport problems, but also was hailed as “a people’s palace”. Every station you will see during your Moscow metro tour looks like a palace room. There are bright paintings, mosaics, stained glass, bronze statues… Our Moscow metro tour includes the most impressive stations best architects and designers worked at - Ploshchad Revolutsii, Mayakovskaya, Komsomolskaya, Kievskaya, Novoslobodskaya and some others.

What is the kremlin in russia?

The guide will not only help you navigate the metro, but will also provide you with fascinating background tales for the images you see and a history of each station.

And there some stories to be told during the Moscow metro tour! The deepest station - Park Pobedy - is 84 metres under the ground with the world longest escalator of 140 meters. Parts of the so-called Metro-2, a secret strategic system of underground tunnels, was used for its construction.

During the Second World War the metro itself became a strategic asset: it was turned into the city's biggest bomb-shelter and one of the stations even became a library. 217 children were born here in 1941-1942! The metro is the most effective means of transport in the capital.

There are almost 200 stations 196 at the moment and trains run every 90 seconds! The guide of your Moscow metro tour can explain to you how to buy tickets and find your way if you plan to get around by yourself.

Fun facts from our Moscow Metro Tours:

From the very first days of its existence, the Moscow Metro was the object of civil defense, used as a bomb shelter, and designed as a defense for a possible attack on the Soviet Union.

At a depth of 50 to 120 meters lies the second, the coded system of Metro-2 of Moscow subway, which is equipped with everything you need, from food storage to the nuclear button.

According to some sources, the total length of Metro-2 reaches over 150 kilometers.

The Museum was opened on Sportivnaya metro station on November 6, 1967. It features the most interesting models of trains and stations.

Coffee Ring

The first scheme of Moscow Metro looked like a bunch of separate lines. Listen to a myth about Joseph Stalin and the main brown line of Moscow Metro.

Zodiac Metro

According to some astrologers, each of the 12 stops of the Moscow Ring Line corresponds to a particular sign of the zodiac and divides the city into astrological sector.

Astrologers believe that being in a particular zadiac sector of Moscow for a long time, you attract certain energy and events into your life.

Paleontological finds 

Red marble walls of some of the Metro stations hide in themselves petrified inhabitants of ancient seas. Try and find some!
