Uniworld Boutique River Cruises

A cruise with Uniworld Boutique River Cruises is an indulgence of the highest order, where world-class service meets effortlessly elegant design. Each of the 17 ships in the award-winning fleet feels like a floating boutique hotel, adorned with lavish fabrics and opulent décor, along with beautiful spaces in which to dine, sip and savour, mesmerised by the gentle flow of the unhurried river. We love the magnificent suites which come with marble bathrooms, thoughtful touches and the privilege of a dedicated personal butler who can pack and unpack for you. The free-flowing fine wines and liquors, delicious cuisine and included curated daily experiences add to what is already a standout experience. With Uniworld, every moment feels considered, indulgent and memorable.

In 2026, our advisors are excited for the debut of Uniworld’s newest ship, the S.S. Emilie. This spectacular and innovative ship features a design inspired by famous Austrian painter Gustav Klimt, and is named after his life partner, Emilie Flöge. S.S. Emilie will showcase Uniworld Boutique River Cruises’ most advanced sustainability innovations to date, and will serve as a blueprint for the brand’s next generation of ships, where conscious design and exceptional luxury coexist. She has been thoughtfully designed with sustainability in mind incorporating a range of state-of-the-art features that minimise environmental impact, while maintaining the comfort and luxury synonymous with Uniworld. Every element has been carefully considered to ensure a more environmentally responsible river cruising experience. Two more sustainable Super Ships will launch in 2027.

Every minute on your Uniworld River Cruise is a showstopper, whether you are moseying down the Nile, passing grand castles on the Rhine, Danube, Rhône and Moselle, embracing the vineyards of Bordeaux on the Garonne, Dordogne and Gironde or cruising along the Douro with its vine-dotted hillsides. The Ganges and the Mekong take you back in time, while the Amazon is a jungle embrace. When docked, usually in the centre of town, the selection of shore excursions is vast. Choose a Let’s Go option with walking, hiking, cycling, golfing or kayaking, while Private Experiences offer visits to museums or famous landmarks without the crowds. Village Days and Do as The Locals Do immerse you in village life, while Make Travel Matter options allow guests to positively impact the communities they visit.
