It is one of two dual-fuel powered InTUItion ships that run on LNG and MGO.

Elena Sperti, an employee of the shipyard, acted as the godmother at the float-out.
Order based on prototype project
At approximately 160,000gt each, the vessels will constitute the backbone of TUI Cruises’ future fleet. The order is based on a prototype project developed by Fincantieri with modern and sustainable characteristics and energy efficiency at its centre.
Features
They will be equipped with catalytic converters (compliant with Euro 6 standard) and a generative turbine that uses the residual heat of the diesel generators. The vessels can also connect to shore power. According to Fincantieri, this guarantees almost emission-free operation while in port, estimated to be about 40% of operating time.
In addition, the ships will be equipped with an innovative, efficient waste treatment system capable of transforming organic substances into charcoal through a thermal process.
