Sailing by river means enjoying all the conveniences of a traditional cruise, along with all the benefi ts of inland travel. Stopping in multiple destinations on every trip, you’ll visit bustling cities and hidden gem villages, only unpacking once. Even while onboard you’ll be immersed in the local sights, with ever changing views right outside your window. River cruising is absolutely the best way to cruise.

Uniworld ships have an average capacity of just 120 passengers, which means you get to enjoy an intimate onboard atmosphere and unmatched service, with a crew-to-passenger ratio of 1 to 2.3.

By nature, sailing on the rivers means constant proximity to land and shoreside resources—and, by extension, the ability to stop the ship and disembark at any time, if necessary.

Never restricted to coastal towns and oceanliner ports, river cruise ships can take you to the heart of your destinations and dock in the center of town, so you can step right off the ship and start exploring.

When river cruising, every room has a view. Relax and enjoy the ever-changing scenery as you sail to your next destination.

With signature attention to detail and the Tiny Noticeable Touches, each one-of-a-kind ship in our fl eet is artfully designed to be an extension of the destinations they sail through. With custom fabrics, unique color palettes and original works by renowned artists, no two ships—or even suites for that matter—are alike.

The health and well-being of our guests and team has always been, and always will be, our primary concern. You can rest assured that we have put numerous new measures in place to elevate our hygiene standards and protocols, including the introduction of innovative, nontoxic cleaning solutions as well as hand sanitizer stations throughout each and every ship.
