In celebration of its 50th anniversary, Uniworld Boutique River Cruises will introduce a new river vessel, expanded itineraries, and a milestone 50-night world cruise in 2026.
Set to debut next year, the S.S. Emilie will be Uniworld’s first new ship since 2021. Inspired by the Austrian artist Gustav Klimt and his muse Emilie Floge, the vessel will accommodate 154 guests and feature a 2-bedroom suite option. It will sail the Danube River on 8 different itineraries.
The cruise line’s Mystery Cruise series will return with 3 undisclosed itineraries, 2 departing on April 26th, 2026, and a 3rd on May 3rd, 2026.
For its anniversary year, Uniworld will introduce its most extensive journey to date - the 50-night Rivers of the World cruise. Departing April 16th, 2026, the voyage spans 3 continents, beginning aboard the S.S. Emilie in Brussels (Belgium). The itinerary includes a Mystery Cruise segment, followed by sailings on the Seine and Nile rivers, and a stay in Jordan.
Uniworld will also expand its Generations Collection with two family-focused river cruises on the Burgundy & Provence itinerary, sailing July 19th and July 26th, 2026. These voyages will feature dedicated family hosts, kid-friendly dining, and curated onboard activities.
Additional European itineraries include 3 new Danube sailings aboard the S.S. Emilie and longer combination journeys. One highlight is the 17-day Danube Grandeur & Prague itinerary, which spans 7 countries and merges two existing routes to explore the region’s cultural capitals.
These offerings reflect Uniworld’s continued commitment to immersive river cruising, celebrating 5 decades of sailing with new experiences and expanded global reach.
