ALL-INCLUSIVE BOUTIQUE RIVER CRUISES
TINY NOTICEABLE TOUCHES Unparalleled luxury found in every detail
YOU DESERVE THE BEST The world has finally opened and is waiting with open arms to welcome you back. If you’ve been waiting for the right time to journey abroad or even take that bucket-list trip you’ve always dreamed of, now is that time. Let us welcome you back onboard any one of our 17 one-of-a-kind ships, to cruise in all-inclusive luxury on the rivers of Europe, Egypt, Peru, India, Vietnam and Cambodia. Find your inspiration as you read through the pages of this brochure. From our more traditional cruises along the Rhine, Main and Danube—offering up experiences both picturesque and historic; to our trips that will invigorate lovers of food and wine alike—Brilliant Bordeaux, Venice & the Gems of Northern Italy and the Douro River Valley; and even cruises perfect for bringing families together as our Holiday Markets itineraries do, there is truly something for everyone. If you’re looking to GO BIG on your return to travel, may I suggest a 16-day journey into the Peruvian Amazon onboard an intimate 32-passenger ship, inclusive of a once-in-a-lifetime visit to Machu Picchu? Or maybe a Cruise & Rail Journey is right for you—combining all the best elements of land, river and train travel. We’ve even introduced two brand new 47-day and 55-day Rivers of the World itineraries for guests looking for the ultimate world cruise, sailing in 2023 and 2024 respectively. Howsoever you choose to break back out into the world, do it in the unparalleled style of Uniworld. After all, you deserve the best.

All-Inclusive Amenities
Intimate and Relaxing Experience
Immersive Travel Experiences
Everything you could ever need is included with Uniworld. From your meals to premium drinks, a host of onboard wellness opportunities plus your daily shore excursions. We have even included the onboard 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 onboard, you can get to know your fellow travelers and also receive better access to the incredible staff onboard.
By nature, cruising along rivers allows you to travel directly through the heart of countries, giving you access to some of the world's greatest cities right outside your window. Our ships often dock in the center of town, so you can step right off the ship and start exploring immediately.
You Deserve The Best
Sailing by river means enjoying all the conveniences of a traditional cruise, along with all the benefits of land 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 ever changing 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
Local Enrichment Opportunities
Enjoy a Slower Pace of Life
One of the highlights of your river cruise will be the ship you sail on. Each of our one-of-a-kind ships is like a floating boutique hotel; designed to immerse you in the destination and fully equipped with luxurious amenities, beautiful public spaces and multiple dining venues throughout.
On a Uniworld cruise, we have selected the must sees on every itinerary. These experiences range from behind the scenes access to the world's greatest landmarks such as the Taj Mahal, exclusive after-hours access to enjoy St. Marks Basilica without the crowds or receiving a breathtaking water blessing from a Cambodian monk.
A river cruise is perfect for those who enjoy a slower pace of life. You will sail peacefully through the heart of countries, docking in the center of cities and spend plenty of time exploring wherever you visit.

S.S. Bon Voyage
S.S. La Venezia
Garonne & Dordogne rivers (Southern France)
Venetian Lagoon (Italy)
Designed to immerse guests in French culture, art and wine, the S.S. Bon Voyage is as quintessentially French as they come. The three onboard 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
Modeled after our sister company, the Red Carnation Hotel Collection, each ship’s distinctive theme, color palettes, custom-made fabrics, personally selected original artwork, sumptuous furnishings and antiques, have been thoughtfully considered and flawlessly rendered.
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 130 guests - compared to others in the industry who hold between 160 - 180.
You Deserve The Best
Unlike other cruise lines, every Uniworld ship has been inspired by the very rivers we sail on and uniquely designed to showcase the very best every destination has to offer. With distinctive themes, color 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.
S.S. São Gabriel
S.S. Joie de Vivre
Douro River (Portugal)
Seine River (Northern 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 offers more lavishly appointed suites and brings the destination to life through its décor and delectable food and wine. Butler service gives 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 freespirited 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 more space, custom fabrics and upholstery, original artwork, handcrafted furniture, Savoir® Beds of England and dedicated butler service.
Every lavishly appointed stateroom features handcrafted Savoir® Beds of England, high thread count 100% Egyptian cotton sheets and European duvets, a menu of pillow options and Asprey bath and body products.

Enjoy an unrivaled taste of your destinations When dining onboard, you’ll be treated to world-class cuisine made from fresh ingredients, locally sourced from the destinations you visit. For example, when in Italy, dinner may consist of Prosciutto di Parma pizza and Osso Buco Milanese, prepared to your liking, with meats and vegetables sourced from just miles away.
Introducing the quintessential La Brasserie, with its natural green and pops of yellow décor inspired by the famous Bouillon Pigalle, serves traditional bistro fare.
After a day immersed in Indian culture, your taste buds may do some immersing of their own with Gajar Shorba and Tandoori Chicken Tikka for lunch. Much like the finest restaurants around the world, our onboard menu’s adapt throughout the seasons, depending on the locally sourced produce available.
Le Grand Fromage offers menus reflective of the local cuisine, prepared from locallysourced ingredients.
La Cave des Vins is an intimate space where connoisseurs can gather for expert food and wine pairing dinners upon request.

Tiny Noticeable Touches
In-Suite Butlers
The tiniest details often draw the brightest smiles. Our staff’s passion is apparent in their matchless attention to your interests, like remembering your drink order from day one, or venturing off the ship to surprise you with chocolates from a local shop you mentioned in passing.
Our butlers are trained to the same standards of excellence required by Buckingham Palace. Each assumes the role of butler 100% of the time, and doesn’t moonlight in other roles, enabling him or her to focus fully on making your cruise one to never forget.
