With 13 transit calls in the winter season of 2019-2020, around 38,000 TUI passengers will be visiting Antigua on board the company’s Mein Schiff fleet.

That will mean an estimated $1 million in revenue for Antigua, according to the company, in addition to the revenue generated in onshore spending.

With a fleet of six ships, TUI will remain an important caller for the fast-growing destiantion.
