2022 BOUTIQUE RIVER CRUISES
TINY NOTICEABLE TOUCHES Unparalled luxury found in every detail.

RENEWING THE GIFT OF TRAVEL If the trials of dealing with a global pandemic in the past year have brought anything positive it was the opportunity to step back, to reflect, to grow and to learn. Their impact on our personal lives, our health and our daily activities have forced us to take stock of the things that are most important to us. For myself—and I’m sure for most of you—staying home for so long has been a poignant reminder of just how important the gift of travel is and that it must not be taken for granted. As the world opens again, I encourage you to appreciate that gift to the fullest on grand new adventures. If you’ve been waiting for the right time to take the bucket-list trip you’ve always dreamed of, now is that time. However you choose to break back out into the world, do it in the unparalleled style of Uniworld. Our expeditions into the Peruvian Amazon offer the intimacy of a 32-passenger, luxury riverboat. The new Cruise & Rail Journeys combine all the best elements of land, river and train travel. In 2021, we will roll out a trip connecting Milan, Venice & the Swiss Alps. Then for 2022, we will introduce even more Cruise & Rail journeys to such places as Istanbul and Transylvania. That year will also mark our first rail-only option, a journey on The Trans-Siberian Express. That’s not all that is coming in 2022. I’m excited to announce our new Dutch Delight itinerary, select dates of which coincide with the Netherlands’ World Horticultural Expo, Floriade. This once-in-a-decade spectacle is not to be missed. From April to October the planned city of Almere near Amsterdam becomes a celebration of green and sustainable technology and all things floral. In 2020, our parent company, The Travel Corporation, began creating MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experiences designed to support initiatives that protect the people, planet and wildlife— keeping them vibrant for generations to come. In 2022, we will be adding more opportunities to give back to the world through proactive travel. And because the most important lesson learned from a health crisis is to look after ourselves, we stress the opportunity to nourish our bodies as well as our souls during our travels. Onboard well-being coaches, daily fitness classes such as morning yoga, a traveling lite menu and our “Let’s Go” active excursions are all part of the Uniworld experience. I’m so excited to get back on the water with our guests and finally see our newest Super Ships set sail. The S.S. Sphinx, the S.S. La Venezia and the S.S. São Gabriel—as well as the Mekong Jewel, are all vessels that I, myself, have never seen. The Mekong Jewel barely had an opportunity to shine before all travel paused—and the rest have been patiently waiting to greet their first passengers. I can’t wait for you all to see these breathtaking new ships in person. Warmest regards,
Ellen Bettridge CEO

HISTORY OF HOSPITALITY EXCELLENCE. The story of our guiding visionary. From the moment you step onboard our one-of-a-kind award-winning ships, you notice the Uniworld difference. The spirit of hospitality that follows you your entire journey is the result of our guiding visionary, Bea Tollman. Bea is the creative mind behind our luxury, floating boutique hotel experience and her personal touches can be found everywhere—from the distinct design of our ships, the recipes for our locally sourced cuisine and the unmatched staff attentiveness. She has been honored for a lifetime of achievement in hospitality, including an induction into the British Travel and Hospitality Hall of Fame. We’re proud to follow her commitment to luxury.
"I wanted some thing different for our guests. I knew that there was this vision inside of me and I set out to create it. " – Bea 6
You Deserve The Best
DESIGNED TO INSPIRE Bea has helped design our ships to reflect the rivers they cruise on, with bespoke themes, color palettes, original art and personally selected furnishings. Step onboard one of our floating boutique hotels and get a sense of her heart and love of hospitality in every room.
A NOURISHED PALATE Much of the attention to detail you’ll find onboard took root in the kitchen. A temporary solution to help her husband, Stanley Tollman, with their first hotel paved the way for a life in food, later translating into the many delicious dishes and culinary feats that have become a cornerstone for Red Carnation Hotels and Uniworld River Cruises alike.
A SPIRIT OF SERVICE To this very day, Bea remains hands-on. Over the years, she’s instilled many of her core values into how we interact with our guests. Whether it’s remembering exactly how you like your cocktail prepared, ending every exchange with a cheerful grin or surprising you with a thoughtful treat, Bea and her family have created a legacy of providing unforgettable experiences.

FOLLOWING IN THE CREATIVE FOOTSTEPS of The Red Carnation Hotel Collection. Boutique hospitality, unmatched service and a dedication to going above and beyond for our guests are deep-rooted in our DNA—we’re the only cruise line to also own and operate a collection of luxury boutique hotels. Uniworld is modeled after our sister company, the five-star RED CARNATION HOTELS, and we’ve been able to tap into their more than 100 years of experience and bring their knowledge and expertise to the rivers. Thanks to their words of wisdom, we employ our own full-time staff, both onboard and onshore, and don’t outsource any elements of your cruise to third parties. When you travel with Uniworld, you know exactly what you’ll get, each and every time.

THE MOST PERSONAL SERVICE compliments of the most tenured crew on the rivers. We treat our staff and guests like family—a philosophy instilled in our company culture as a family-owned business. This philosophy, rooted in the Tollman family’s long-standing involvement in the hospitality industry, is the driving force behind our guest-centric atmosphere. And it’s the reason you leave your cruise feeling like part of the family. It’s also why each detail carries the same weight. “NO REQUEST IS TOO LARGE, NO DETAIL IS TOO SMALL” comes to life in the interactions we share with our guests. Your river cruise is focused on a singular goal: to give you the unique and unforgettable experience you seek, with the personalized, industry-leading service you deserve. Every guest receives our full attention, with an incredible guest-to-staff ratio of 2.3 to 1 (one of the best on the rivers), unmatched attention to detail and in-suite butlers trained to the same standards of excellence required by Buckingham Palace—because everything worth doing, is worth doing well.

Uniworld "I doub t that I will ever sail on any ship that is not with Boutiq ue River Cruises. The ship and accommodations were first class. The ship’s crew was friendly and very helpful. The intimacy of the ship was such a wonderful experience." – John R. Schmidt

Every unique design scheme and piece of art—the structure, the intricacy and the handcrafted items—is lovingly assembled to be a masterpiece in and of itself. To step onboard is to step into a world where the beautiful colors and one-of-a-kind details of your destinations come to life.

OUR COMMITMENT TO ELEVATING LUXURY RIVER CRUISING. What it takes to elevate luxury river cruising. Ten years ago we redefined the term “unsurpassed luxury” when we launched the first Super Ship—the S.S. Antoinette. With custom décor that brought the Rhine region to life onboard, this ship completely transformed the standards of river cruising. We continue to launch new Super Ships with each passing year as we work towards transforming our entire fleet, delivering the absolute best experience in river cruising. Our Super Ships are the new picture of elevated luxury. It’s the one-of-a-kind design that Uniworld represents, with more suites, more dining options and more luxurious tiny noticeable touches throughout. For our 2022 season, our guests will have 11 extraordinary Super Ships to choose from, including the newest to our fleet—S.S. Sphinx in Egypt, Mekong Jewel in Vietnam and Cambodia, S.S. La Venezia in Italy and S.S. São Gabriel in Portugal. This commitment to always operating the best ships on the rivers is why we’re consistently voted the World’s Best Luxury River Cruise Line. It’s a commitment we’ve had since the beginning—and one we’ll always have. Here’s to another year of delivering the World’s Best in river cruising. We’ll see you onboard.

S.S. BEATRICE S.S. BEATRICE ELATES AND ASTOUNDS. The designers from Red Carnation Hotels worked their creative magic on River Beatrice, transforming her into the dazzling S.S. Beatrice for 2018. This jewel of a ship graces the waters of the DANUBE RIVER, boasting yacht-like finishes and splashes of nautical hues throughout, a stunning lobby featuring elegant mirrors, marble floors, a white Murano chandelier with blue shades and a grand staircase made of nickel and black iron. The design inspiration began with 14th-century blue and white Chinese export porcelain and the Dutch derivation known as Delftware, merging ancient tradition with the modernity of blonde wood and polished nickel accents—resulting in an interior that is luxurious yet timeless. Her lounge features sofas and chairs with handmade upholstery by esteemed design houses, a parquet floor and innovative new touches like solar shades. S.S. Beatrice creates enhanced dining and culinary experiences by offering four unique venues, all inspired by famous Austrian composers.

S.S. MARIA THERESA SHE EXUDES THE SOPHISTICATION AND RESPLENDENCE OF ROYALTY. This splendidly elegant ship cruises along the DANUBE RIVER boasting ultra-luxurious accommodations fit for Empress Maria Theresa herself. As a tribute to the only female ruler in the House of Habsburg, a 10-foot-tall, specially commissioned portrait of S.S. MARIA THERESA’S namesake hangs in the twostory foyer. She was voted “Best New River Ship” by Cruise Critic in her maiden season, and for good reason. Thoughtful personal touches abound onboard, including décor inspired by the time period in which Maria Theresa reigned. Her interiors exhibit colorful silk-clad walls, a Murano glass chandelier located in the lobby, over-the-top window treatments, eye-catching patterns in every room, a collection of hand-painted coronets and a mosaic-tiled enclosed swimming pool—just to name a few. Original artwork throughout includes works by Frederik Bloemaert, a Dutch engraver and printmaker. Travel like royalty on this floating masterpiece.

S.S. ANTOINETTE LAYER UPON LAYER OF LUXURIOUS FEATURES STRETCH IN EVERY DIRECTION. The bright and vibrant S.S. ANTOINETTE sails the RHINE RIVER, with accents that will leave you speechless. Take her Venetian glass mirrors, stunning marble bathrooms, enclosed pool, onboard cinema dressed in vintage movie posters, L’Orangerie Sky Lounge and gorgeous two-story foyer, for example. The foyer’s focal point? A stunning 10-foot Strauss Baccarat chandelier that once hung in Central Park’s famous Tavern on the Green restaurant.

S.S. Antoinette’s dining room boasts a custom ceramic mural designed by artist Jane du Rand. Her one-of-a-kind murals adorn the walls of hotels, spas, public spaces and our personal favorite—several of our ships. Step into the ship’s Restaurant de Versailles for a look at her mural, which takes us back to the grand gardens of French châteaux in the 1700s. Jane du Rand lives by the motto that “everything worth doing is worth doing well” and S.S. Antoinette embodies exactly that.

S.S. JOIE DE VIVRE THE CRÈME DE LA CRÈME OF NORTHERN FRANCE. S.S. JOIE DE VIVRE effortlessly celebrates all things French, bringing “Paris into color”—as Stanley Tollman, founder of The Travel Corporation, affectionately noted in his original design brief. Toni Tollman, the creative visionary behind Red Carnation Hotels and Uniworld, along with the rest of our design team, drew inspiration from the elegance of Paris from the 1930s to the 1950s, weaving in playful accents reminiscent of her favorite French designers. This fantastically French Super Ship is truly the embodiment of the “joy of living” as she cruises along the SEINE RIVER. S.S. Joie de Vivre’s attention to detail is unmatched, with fabrics and upholstery from the Tollman’s historical archives, as well as some of the most esteemed design houses in Europe. Throughout the ship, there’s a number of original linen posters dating between the 1860s and 1940s, and Le Salon Toulouse showcases 64 pictures depicting Paris in 1861 in a series known as “Paris dans sa Splendeur.” Additional artwork throughout the ship includes works by Georges Goursat, a famed cartoonist from the early 1900s and one of Toni Tollman’s favorites.

S.S. BON VOYAGE A SHIP THAT PERSONIFIES THE BRILLIANCE OF BORDEAUX. After undergoing an extensive stem-to-stern transformation, River Royale reemerged along the DORDOGNE AND GARONNE RIVERS as S.S. BON VOYAGE for the 2019 sailing season. This brand-new ship was inspired by the region’s historic surroundings and the incredible wine and gastronomy that Southwest France is known for—complete with a design scheme that showcases just that, as well as several enhanced culinary experiences onboard. As a nod to France’s culinary prowess, S.S. Bon Voyage introduced two new dining venues, La Brasserie and Le Café du Soleil (known as La Belle Étoile at night). Nestled discreetly at the ship’s bow, La Brasserie pays homage to Paris’ renowned Bouillon Pigalle restaurant, with its charming blue and white décor, and serves classic French fare. Le Café du Soleil flanks the newly installed infinity pool, offering up poolside service and open-air cooking demonstrations from specialist chefs. Her stunning lobby reveals polished wood with subtle brass detailing that complements the handcrafted balustrade. Le Salon Champagne boasts specially commissioned sofas and jewel-colored stripes that echo the ones in Yves Saint Laurent’s very own home. It’s a ship so stunning, you may never want to leave.

S.S. SÃO GABRIEL A SHIP AS SCENIC AS PORTUGAL’S DRAMATIC DOURO RIVER VALLEY. In 1497, Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama set out with a fleet of warships on his first voyage to India. His ship’s name? São Gabriel. And much like his lead vessel, this new ship on the DOURO RIVER was built for those culturally curious enough to explore new horizons. The S.S. SÃO GABRIEL will set sail with the same fervor that da Gama’s ship did on its quest to find an ocean route between Europe and Asia. The newest ship on the Douro will debut with more space, more suites and a higher crew-to-guest ratio than her predecessor, Queen Isabel. With the addition of butler service onboard and two dining venues—a restaurant and an alfresco option on the top deck—Portugal’s first Super Ship will never cease to amaze you.

RIVER TOSCA THIS ALL-SUITE VESSEL WAS RATED BY THE EGYPTIAN GOVERNMENT AS THE #1 SHIP ON THE NILE, AND FOR GREAT REASON. It is home to as much wonder as the river it cruises on. Taking inspiration from the colonial era, this ship is elegantly designed with wood finishes and cozy public spaces. Soak in the warm weather on the sprawling Sun Deck, which has shaded Sun Deck Swimming Pool cabanas and a swimming pool. You’ll find local wares in every room, Sun Deck Sun Deck Swimming Pool including the elegant library, stylish lounge and full-service bar. Taste the regional cuisine in the dining area and take to the top deck for afternoon tea.
