Tui River Cruises is set to release three themed itineraries lasting between four and seven days on the Rhine.
The winter sailings on 155-passenger Tui Maya feature onboard events, food and drink, guest speakers and shore excursions.
From October 31, the yet-to-launch line is offering a seven-night Wine on the Rhine cruise; a Dancing down the Rhine sailing; and a Rhine & Stein departure. Sailings go on sale on June 1.

Passengers will be able to choose from nine wine-based shore excursions, including a visit to a winery that has produced bottles since 1846 and a half-day trip to try Alsatian wines in the town of Obernai.
