Uniworld Reveals New Itineraries for 2028, Including a 30-Day River Cruise

Uniworld has unveiled its 2028 program, including new itineraries, itineraries for the three previously announced new SuperShips and a new Mystery Journey that takes the surprise beyond the river.

The added offerings will introduce guests to lesser-explored destinations along the Danube and Rhine, extended journeys spanning multiple rivers and countries, and new ways to experience Germany and France during the holiday season, while expanding Uniworld’s fleet to 22 ships.

“2028 is shaping up to be an incredibly exciting year for Uniworld,” said Ellen Bettridge, president and CEO of Uniworld Boutique River Cruises. “We’re giving our guests the opportunity to see more, travel farther and experience some of our favorite destinations in entirely new ways. That could mean journeying from Amsterdam all the way to the Black Sea, experiencing the traditions and flavors of France during the holiday season, or exploring the Mekong aboard our newest ship. And for guests who loved our Mystery Cruise, we’re doing something a little different this time with our new Mystery Journey, because sometimes the best part of travel is not knowing exactly what comes next.”

In 2028, Uniworld will launch eight new itineraries across Europe:

Introducing the Mystery Journey

Uniworld is putting a fresh spin on its guest-favorite Mystery Cruise concept in 2028 with the debut of an entirely new Mystery Journey. Beginning June 15, the 11-day experience will take the element of surprise beyond the river. The journey comes with just two clues: guests will arrive through Luxembourg Airport and depart from Zürich Airport. Everything in between, including the destinations and itinerary, will under wraps until departure.
