Unparalleled luxury found in every detail

YOU DESERVE THE BEST

Why settle for less?

What sets Uniworld apart from every other cruising experience out there? We took everything travelers love about the boutique hotel experience and set it afloat. Unique decor, personal service, quality you can trust, delicious cuisine, curated local experiences—these are the crucial factors in making memorable vacations, and there’s no better way to enjoy it all than on a floating boutique hotel that transports you to an exciting new destination every day.

ONE-OF-A-KIND SHIPS

We don’t believe in filling the rivers with a large fleet of identical ships. We believe in quality over quantity. Each ship in our fleet is unique, designed to reflect the destinations they sail through custom fabrics, distinctive color palettes, and walls filled with authentic works of art.

ALL-INCLUSIVE AT ITS FINEST

Our all-inclusive experience means you can indulge to your heart’s content without worrying about the bill. But it’s not just about how much we offer, it’s about the quality of our amenities. We handpick every detail, from the fine wines selected by our sommeliers to an ultra-comfortable brand of handmade beds preferred by royalty.

NO REQUEST IS TOO LARGE, NO DETAIL TOO SMALL™

Our service is second to none. With a 2.4-to-1 guest-to-crew ratio and the longest tenured team in the business, our team starts to learn your name and your drink order from day one. It’s little touches like this that make you feel like family onboard with us, and what makes returning for your next sailing feel like coming home.

FOR THE LOVE OF OUR PLANET

The planet is our home. If we look after it, we’ll have the wonderful privilege of being able to explore it for generations to come. On our path to Net Zero carbon emissions by 2050, we’ve implemented an innovative food waste reduction system on our ships, eliminated single-use plastics from staterooms, and much more.

SEAMLESS TRAVEL

“I loved everything about the cruise, the staff, the food, the excursions. Very wellrun operation. I’d recommend it as a great way to travel. It was nice to travel without having to negotiate numerous trains or buses, you wake up in a new place, without having to pack and unpack and go on a tour or explore by yourself.”

REPEAT GUESTS

IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCES

With a variety of included excursions to choose from, you can get to the heart of your destinations in ways that appeal to your personal interests.

NEVER GO HUNGRY

When dining onboard, you’ll be treated to world-class cuisine made from fresh ingredients, locally sourced from the destinations you visit.

Inquire about 24-hour room service and a la carte menus.

NEVER GO THIRSTY

Never restricted to mealtimes or happy hours, you’ll find that fine wines, local beers, and premium spirits flow freely throughout the cruise. Our bar closes when the last guest turns in for the evening. Every Uniworld ship is staffed with an expert sommelier, who handpicks wines to pair with your dinners and does a nightly wine talk in the lounge.

NEVER BE BORED

What does a blissful vacation look like to you? Whatever your answer, our ships likely have just the activity for you. Early risers will appreciate our morning yoga sessions. Chill-on-the-sundeck types can soak in scenic riverscapes with their favorite cocktail. Foodies may want to join a cooking demo. And those looking to dance the night away will find local entertainment in the lounge.

THE RHINE RIVER

A picture-perfect destination

The longest river in Germany, the Rhine extends to flow through Switzerland, France and the Netherlands as well. The highlight of a Rhine River sailing—and a foundational river cruising experience—is floating through the UNESCO-designated Upper Middle Rhine. Here, dozens of castles, all in varying states of preservation, dot the hillsides. Stories of intrigue abound around these castles, which stand in testament to the Rhine’s fairytale-like charms and rich history.

On Uniworld’s Rhine River itineraries, you’ll stop in such wanderlist-worthy cities as medieval Cologne, canal-strewn Amsterdam, and multicultural Basel. Along the way, myriad hidden gems await—think tuckedaway towns overflowing with colorful half-timbers and effervescent Rieslings.

THE DANUBE RIVER

Escape to old-world glamour

The Danube River is a favorite among river cruisers for good reason: gorgeous scenery, fascinating history, a plethora of unique cultures and cuisines, and several of Europe’s most enticing destinations along its banks. Sailing through no less than 10 different countries as it winds a path through the heart of Central and Eastern Europe, the Danube offers a well-rounded journey for the first-time visitor and new experiences to uncover with each return.

Sailing into Budapest with the reflection of the famed Parliament building on the water, walking the halls of Vienna’s Baroque palaces and museums, gazing in awe at each new bend of the idyllic Wachau Valley—these are just a few of the mesmerizing sights the Danube has to offer.

FRANCE

The place to be

You can’t go wrong with a trip to France, this country delights everyone. Maybe it’s the delectable cuisine—the bread, the cheeses, the wine!—maybe it’s the grand boulevards and high fashion, or even the beautiful simplicity of village life. It’s hard to pin down what makes France so special, partly because it’s made up of several regions with their own distinct charms.

Northern France has the Seine, where glittering Paris and the rustic Normandy countryside lie. Southern France speaks to the long history of France, allowing visitors to step back in time on visits to provincial villages and ancient Roman sites. Bordeaux and its world-renowned vineyards call all lovers of fine food and wine.

ITALY & THE VENETO

The ultimate experience meets the ultimate value

There’s no better way to experience Venice than a Uniworld cruise. The canal-lined island is one of the most well-loved destinations in the world, and we’ve crafted the perfect experience aboard one of the only cruise ships small enough to dock in Venice.

Staying aboard our floating boutique hotel, the gorgeous S.S. La Venezia, you’ll enjoy delicious regional fare, free-flowing drinks, a view from every room, and a wealth of immersive excursions, often with private access that allows you to skip the crowds. And unlike a typical hotel stay in Venice, all of this is already included in the cost of your trip.

You have several options for building your perfect Italian itinerary, all branching from our 8-day Venetian Lagoon cruise. From there, opt for land stays at 5-star hotels in Milan and/ or Rome, or tack on a luxury train journey. You can even add an extension to Lugano & Lake Como or Greece to perfect your trip.

GRANDE ITALIA

A once-in-a-lifetime wonder EGYPT

Flowing boldly uninterrupted for thousands of miles and millions of years, the Nile itself is a testament to history that has spawned many of our most treasured windows into the past. Expansive amber deserts and grassy plains are dotted by the occasional ancient temple, all of it turning gold with the afternoon sun.

The 12-day Splendors of Egypt & the Nile itinerary is both deeply nostalgic and beyond anything you could ever expect. Exploring ancient pyramids and temples with an Englishspeaking Egyptologist at your side reawakens youthful curiosity with familiar legends.

Bring the young travelers in your life to fuel their passion for history, learning, and connecting with world cultures. On select Generations Collection sailings, we’ve included special excursions and activities curated for ages 4-17 years.

From the Amazon to Machu Picchu

Journey into Peru’s “Jungle of Mirrors,” so-called for a network of rivers that cast astonishingly vibrant reflections of the lush landscapes and skies around them. Here, you’ll spot rare wildlife in the world’s most biodiverse ecosystem—spider monkeys, pink river dolphins, scarlet macaws, and so much more. Gaze up at the starriest night sky you’ve ever seen, try your hand at piranha fishing, and meet Amazonian villagers.

Beyond the rainforest, you’ll find the lively and colorful cities of Peru. Discover South America’s favorite new food capital in Lima, the heartland of the former Incan Empire at Cusco and the Lost City of Machu Picchu

Choose between two itineraries for this destination: a 16-day Peruvian Amazon & Machu Picchu Exploration or an 11-day Peruvian Rivers & Rainforest Discovery.
