THE FINEST LUXURY RIVER CRUISES Setting sail in 2022 and 2023 BOOK WITH CONFIDENCE PROMISE


WE'RE THRILLED TO BE SAILING AGAIN I cannot describe how lovely it is to be back on the rivers of Europe for 2022. As always, but especially after a complex couple of years, reuniting with our guests and crew is such an exciting time for us, and it’s wonderful to see them all enjoying their travels again. As a river cruise line whose European fleet averages just 120 guests per sailing with an exceptional crew-to-guest ratio, we’re proud to be able to provide our guests with a wealth of personal space and personalised service. The best way to cruise back into travel this year is certainly on the rivers, and the best river cruises are with Uniworld. What makes this time even more thrilling is the fact that we are about to launch some of our newest Programmes. Our newest and only itinerary sailing exclusively on the waterways of the Netherlands, Dutch Delight, will begin taking travellers on an immersive journey through charming rural villages and canal-lined cities, including visiting the once-in-a-decade World Expo, Floriade, on every sailing. Our guests are already enjoying some of our latest fleet updates, including our fun Roaring 20s onboard celebrations, Nights Out experiences and intimate dining experiences in the Captain’s Lounge of the River Empress and the River Duchess. Select guests on the S.S. Antoinette and River Tosca will also notice that we’ve given a few of the suites a gorgeous new look. Continuing to elevate the Uniworld experience year after year, from small updates to major innovations, is an integral part of the Uniworld ethos, and I’ve been overjoyed to be able to share our progress with our guests in 2022. I look forward to welcoming you onboard this year for a truly all-inclusive luxury river cruising experience. Warmest regards,

All Inclusive Amenities

Intimate and Relaxing Experience

Unique Travel Experiences

Everything you could ever need is included with Uniworld. From your flights & transfers, all your meals and premium drinks, a host of onboard wellness opportunities plus your daily shore excursions. We have even included the on board gratuities. All you have to do is sit back, relax and enjoy the Uniworld experience.

Compared to ocean cruising, a river cruise ship is smaller and therefore offers guests a far more intimate experience. With just an average of 120 guests on board, you can get to know your fellow travellers and also receive better access to the incredible staff on board.

By nature, cruising along rivers allows you to travel directly through the heart of countries, giving you incredible access to some of the world's greatest cities right outside your window. Due to the small sizes of our ships, we take you to the heart of your destinations and dock in the centre of town, so you can step onshore to start exploring immediately.


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

Award-Winning, Floating Hotels

Money Can't Buy Experiences

Enjoy a Slower Pace of Life

One of the highlights of your river cruise is the Super Ship you sail on. You have access to your very floating hotel that you can call home for the week, with luxurious amenities, beautiful public spaces and multiple dining venues throughout.

There are moments on a Uniworld cruise designed exclusively for our guests. These range from early morning access to museums, behind the scenes access to iconic landmarks and even private after-hours events in world renowned locations, including the magnificent Saint Marks Basilica in Venice.

A river cruise is perfect for those who enjoy a slower pace of life. You will sail silently through the heart of countries, docking in the centre of cities and spend plenty of time exploring wherever you visit.

DESTINATION INSPIRED SUPER SHIPS

10

Super Ship Bon Voyage

Super Ship La Venezia

Rivers: Garonne & Dordogne, Southern France

Rivers: Venetian Lagoon & Po River, Italy

Designed to immerse guests in French culture, art and wine, the S.S. Bon Voyage is as quintessentially French as they come. The four on board dining venues perfectly capture the essence of France and the stunning Soleil Deck has been designed for the hot summer days you will experience in Bordeaux.

The design of the S.S. La Venezia drew influence from the fine Fortuny fabrics displayed prominently onboard. Murano glass, gilded accents and artistic etched elements pay homage to popular Venetian aesthetics of the early 20th century, creating an onboard atmosphere that is at once elegant and nostalgic.

Our Design Ethos

Inviting Public Spaces

Boutique hospitality, unmatched service and a dedication to going above and beyond for our guests are deep-rooted in our DNA. We have followed in the footsteps of our sister company, the Red Carnation Hotel Collection to deliver the most luxurious service on the world's rivers.

All of our Super Ships have been designed with a focus on larger public spaces for our guests to enjoy. We have reduced the amount of cabins on our European ships to hold an average of 120 guests - compared to others in the industry who hold between 160 - 180.


Unlike other cruise lines, every Uniworld ship has been inspired by the very rivers they sail on and is uniquely designed to showcase the very best every destination has to offer. With distinctive themes, colour palettes, custom-made fabrics, personally selected original artwork, sumptuous furnishings and antiques, each element, down to the smallest detail, has been thoughtfully considered and flawlessly rendered.

Super Ship São Gabriel

Super Ship Joie de Vivre

River: Douro, Portugal

River: Seine, France

S.S. São Gabriel is the newest and most luxurious ship on the Douro river. Designed to embody the beautiful Douro River Valley region, this ship will offer more lavishly appointed suites and bring the destination to life through its décor and delectable food and wine. Butler service will be added onboard, giving guests the option to dine at any time they’d like while enjoying the ship.

S.S. Joie de Vivre brings the “joy of living” to the rivers of France. Step aboard your floating pied-à-terre in France, featuring handcrafted furniture and fine antiques, original artwork, and signature accents inspired by 20th-century Parisian design from the Golden Twenties to the free-spirited Sixties, all blending seamlessly with modern conveniences.

Uniquely Designed Suites

The Finest Amenities

Like our ships, all our suites have been uniquely designed. Each suite is a true showstopper, boasting custom fabrics and upholstery, original artwork, handcrafted furniture and Savoir® Beds of England.

HOW DO WE ENSURE THE SAFETY OF OUR GUESTS? Embarkation Requirements

Onboard Protocols

More than ever before, it’s essential that we take personal responsibility to help protect each other, and the people and places we visit. To help achieve this goal, all guests and crew will be asked to complete a Travel Declaration upon arrival. Additionally, ALL guests on Uniworld cruises or cruise/tours through 31 December 2022 are required to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 to travel.

We've added new measures to elevate our hygiene standards for every facet of the onboard experience-from the introduction of new air filtration systems to hand sanitiser stations throughout the ship. Additionally, all guests and crew will be required to have their temperatures taken when they board their ship, and routinely throughout the cruise, using touchless technology.

A well-Trained Team

Trusted Partners Onshore

Our Hotel Managers, Cruise Managers and crew have all been trained by an external consultant in professional health, enhanced hygiene and physical distancing procedures. During your trip, they will operate with a duty of care and monitor the hygiene etiquette of our guests, reacting and advising as needed, to ensure high standards are maintained.

We are very selective in who we work with and choose to only use local guides, buses, drivers, restaurants and venues that take the health and well-being of our guests as seriously as we do. Our well-established and rigorous cleaning regimes for our buses and vox boxes have been enhanced and we will continue to only work with establishments that we are confident will consistently adhere to our standards.

DAY 2: TARASCON (ARLES) Explore a sun-drenched Provençal town today with an allure all its own. Known for its remarkable Roman ruins, Arles so inspired Van Gogh that he painted some 200 paintings there.

It was here that the Romans built their first bridge across the Rhône River, creating a vital overland route between Italy and Spain. (B, L, D) Featured Excursion: Arles walking tour.

Featured Excursion: Intimate Viviers “Village Day.”

DAY 5: TOURNON (TAIN-L’HERMITAGE) If you love fine wine, you’ll love the twin villages of Tournon and Tainl’Hermitage.

INTRODUCING THE ENCHANTING DANUBE the ideal river cruising destination

The Danube is perfect for…

38

Stunning Scenery

Iconic Cities

Musical History

As you sail along the Danube you will pass through stunning scenery which has been forged for centuries. As you pass through timeless valleys you can’t help but stop and stare at the everchanging postcard right outside your window – you’re sure to be amazed by the surroundings as you sail through the Wachau Valley or the Iron Gates Gorge, a true highlight of any river cruise.

Some of Europe’s best-known cities are dotted along the Danube. From Vienna, Belgrade, Bratislava, to the pearl of the Danube, Budapest. A Cruise along the Danube is an everchanging highlight reel of mustsee destinations. In every city you visit, you will enjoy a host exclusive excursions designed to immerse you in the surrounding culture.

The Danube is linked inextricably with musical history. Beethoven, Mozart, Strauss, Schubert, Mahler and Brahms to name a few, were all inspired by the surrounding cities dotted along the river. As you journey along the Danube, you will be treated to a variety of live performances by renowned musicians, many of which are only available to Uniworld guests.


The shimmering waters of the fabled Danube River flow for thousands of miles through the very heart of Europe, silent witness to centuries of artistic achievement and historical events. This river carves its way through the heart of Germany, Austria, Hungary and more, making this river the soul of European culture. No other river offers such a contrast of cultures, highlights, and memories that no traveller would want to miss.

Culinary Excellence

Village Life

Diverse Cultures

Rising in Germany’s Black Forest region and flowing through 10 countries to the Black Sea, the Danube is steeped in regional culinary traditions and offers a feast for all the senses. Some iconic dishes to try include goulash from Hungary, sausages from Regensburg, Linzer torte from Linz, Weiner schnitzel from Austria or pralines in Passau.

There is more to life along the Danube than imperial cities. The beauty of sailing here means you will visit smaller, intimate towns and villages that many tourists never visit. Step into a fairytale and unlock new memories that will never be forgotten.

With the Danube silently passing through ten entirely unique countries, there is no other river offering such diverse cultures dotted along its banks. Immerse yourself in the very best of every country as you explore behind the scenes of iconic landmarks, museums and galleries and live life like a true local.
