"We are aiming for three ships by 2012. It is not yet determined whether we will issue an order for a new ship or for a remodelling of a ship," Vogel told the German weekly magazine.

"The time now is favourable to put out such orders. In that context, the (worldwide financial) crisis has its advantages," he added.

TUI Cruises, a 50-50 joint venture between TUI and Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd, is set to begin service with one ship in 2009.
