New Uniworld University Course Highlights 2026, 2027 River Cruise Seasons

Uniworld Boutique River Cruises is opening up an all-new course within Uniworld University, offering travel advisors an in-depth look at what’s ahead for the brand.  The course marks the brand’s 50th anniversary, and advisors who complete it will gain insights into Uniworld’s 2026 celebrations and what’s to come in 2027.

“As we celebrate 50 years of Uniworld, we’re not only reflecting on our legacy, but looking ahead to a future shaped by even more immersive and innovative experiences,” said Ellen Bettridge, president and CEO of Uniworld Boutique River Cruises. “This new course is designed to give our travel advisor partners an inside look at where we’re headed – from new Super Ships to expanded journeys that go beyond the river – and equip them with the insight and tools to inspire their clients and drive bookings with confidence.”

Whether new or returning, advisors who complete the course will gain insider knowledge on the brand’s upcoming offerings for 2026 and 2027. Advisors also will receive exclusive travel advisor rates, CLIA certification credits, recognition as a Preferred Specialist on the Uniworld website and an official Uniworld Preferred Specialist badge upon completion.

Some of what advisors will learn about in the new course includes the addition of five new ships by the end of 2027, as well as the brand’s partnership with Aqua Expeditions with the addition of Aqua Blu, an expedition yacht sailing twice per year exclusively for Uniworld. Advisors will also learn about the brand’s all-new Cruise & Tour itineraries, created in partnership with sister brand Luxury Gold, kicking off in 2027. Finally, the new course will cover Uniworld’s expansion in Southeast Asia, as well as in Europe with a variety of new itineraries.
