Find your flow!

From the Rhine to the Nile, we sail along some of the longest and most beautiful rivers, visiting big cities like Budapest, Luxor and Vienna, to hidden gems like Cochem, Melk and Dürnstein. 

We offer our customers the ultimate flexibility to create the perfect trip, from choosing a package which includes flights or opting for cabin only, choosing their board basis to picking a restaurant for dinner. Our ships showcase chic, up-to-the minute interiors, two restaurants, and two lounges for drinks and day to night entertainment. We pride ourselves on our friendly team, with one crew member to every four guests and a maximum of 190 guests onboard for a more intimate feel and personalised service.

Careers with TUI River Cruises are diverse, from shoreside roles in our Luton office, to life on the river onboard our ships.  You can apply directly for our shoreside roles on our careers website. We also work with partners to deliver our product across the fleet. If you’re looking to join our onboard team you’ll find more details about each area below.

Waiter, TUI Skyla

This job has helped me to achieve my dream: to be able to show and do what I love, which is to stand out and excel in my work at the bar. One of my favourite parts about working onboard is that I’m always surrounded by my family here. We always celebrate occasions together, and the best time for me is when we all celebrate New Year’s Eve.
