Where Uniworld sails
Boutique ships on great rivers
Each ship has its own river and its own personality. Here is where you will find them.
The Danube
S.S. Maria Theresa, S.S. Beatrice, S.S. Emilie and River Duchess, with the new S.S. Marlene joining in 2027. Vienna, Budapest and the Wachau valley, and on the longer voyages all the way to Romania.
The Rhine
S.S. Antoinette, whose glass-enclosed balconies open like a conservatory, with S.S. Victoria, S.S. Elisabeth and the new S.S. Audrey from 2027. Castles, vineyards and, on some voyages, Paris and the Swiss Alps.
The Rhône, Seine and Bordeaux
S.S. Catherine on the Rhône and Saône through Burgundy and Provence, S.S. Joie de Vivre on the Seine from Paris to Normandy, and S.S. Bon Voyage among the vineyards of Bordeaux.
The Douro and Venice
S.S. São Gabriel on the Douro, joined by the new S.S. São Rafael in 2027, and S.S. La Venezia in the Venice lagoon.
The Nile and further afield
S.S. Sphinx and River Tosca on the Nile, plus voyages on the Mekong, the Ganges and the Peruvian Amazon. Inclusions vary on these sailings, so we will explain exactly what is covered.
Dining and wine
Executive chefs are members of the Chaîne des Rôtisseurs, and the sommelier pours two local wines each evening. On S.S. Joie de Vivre, La Cave des Vins hosts a seven-course dinner you help to cook.
