A new super ship, new destinations, multi-generational cruising & a truly all-inclusive experience make 2017 a very exciting year.
Uniworld’s European fleet will grow next year with the unveiling of the newest super ship, the S.S. Catherine, sister ship to the award-winning S.S. Antoinette. S.S. Catherine will sail the popular Burgundy & Provence itinerary along the Rhône and Saône rivers with a capacity for 159 guests. Guests will enjoy deluxe signature touches throughout the three full decks of elegantly appointed suites, staterooms, and public areas. Designed by the team of Uniworld’s sister company, the Red Carnation Hotel Collection, S.S. Catherine will be styled in a fashion to reflect her new home.

Throughout each cruise, guests will enjoy the finest river view staterooms afloat—many with French or full balconies—offering deluxe signature touches, including handcrafted beds from Savoir® of England. Uniworld’s one-of-a-kind, exquisitely appointed ships are each a work of art, designed to be as unique as their guests and as inspiring as the destinations they visit.

Uniworld offers more European itineraries than any other river cruise line.

While most river cruises offer similar route itineraries, it is the extra-special experiences that differentiate Uniworld from other river cruise operators. For example, guests are treated to an evening opening of St. Mark’s Basilica in Italy with a special lightshow and presentation. Or during the Enchanting Christmas & New Year’s Cruise (Passau to Budapest), travelers can attend an exclusive cocktail reception at Artstetten Castle in Grein, Austria with Princess Anita von Hohenberg, a descendant of the royal Habsburgs.
The River Royale, currently sailing these rivers will move to Uniworld’s newest destination, the Bordeaux region of France, with the eight-day Bordeaux, Vineyards & Châteaux itinerary and 15-day A Portrait of Majestic France, sailing along the rivers of Northern and Southern France.
Venice to Rome in 13 days! A river cruise aboard the River Countess and a land tour that reveals the Splendors of Northern Italy, Venice, Florence and Rome. Free airfare to Italy on select departures, solo traveler savings and other special offers. Uniworld
Recognizing the growing interest in intergenerational travel, Uniworld is offering family programs on select sailings. In Travel + Leisure’s 2013 “World’s Best Awards”, Uniworld earned the #1 spot in the “Top River Cruise Lines for Families” category … not once but three years in a row!
Uniworld’s multi-generational itineraries provide an enriching travel experience for each generation. Family-friendly programs, such as Castles along the Rhine, Paris & Normandy and Germany’s Classic Christmas Markets, have been developed around school vacations. They include onboard and shore programs tailored specifically families such as a hot air balloon ride in Paris instead of the standard city tour.
Complimentary bicycles on board allow families to explore independently during destination stops. Uniworld
These sailings feature special pricing with young people between 4 and 18 traveling at 50% off the cruise price when accompanied by an adult. Add in all meals, entertainment including a video games room, special signature lectures and demonstrations onboard, exciting shore excursions hosted by local experts, and complimentary use of bicycles as well as Uniworld’s new all-inclusive policy, and a family river cruise vacation becomes attractively value-packed and hassle free.
Uniworld operates on 13 rivers in more than 20 countries throughout Europe, Russia, Egypt, China, Vietnam and Cambodia. On selected sailings, the company offers Early Booking Discounts and Pay-in-Full Savings.
