Uniworld Boutique River Cruises has released a new collection of renderings, offering a first look at its upcoming super ships, S.S. Marlene and S.S. Audrey, which will debut in 2027.
The river cruise line first announced the new ships in March 2025, and unveiled further details and renderings of the Uniworld ships in October 2025. Both inspired by Hollywood icons, Audrey draws on Audrey Hepburn’s timeless style, while Marlene channels Marlene Dietrich’s bold style and timeless beauty.
“One-of-a-kind design has always been central to the Uniworld experience,” says Ellen Bettridge, President and CEO of Uniworld. “With the S.S. Audrey and S.S. Marlene, we’re celebrating two women whose style defined an era. These ships bring their spirit to life through thoughtful details and spaces created to deepen our guests’ connection to the destinations along the journey, and we’re excited to share a sneak peek inside.”

Audrey’s interior design features a palette of greens, golds and blues, matched against vibrant accents, geometric patterns, and artistic tributes to the iconic actress. The ship will depart for its inaugural sailing, the Remarkable Rhine & Historic Holland itinerary, on April 16, 2027. During the 2027 season, it will also sail two new journeys: Paris, Prague & Germany’s Hidden Gems and Scenic Rhine, Paris & the Swiss Alps.

Marlene’s interiors will balance warm tan and gold tones with accents of pink, red, and blue. The ship will debut with a Tulips & Windmills sailing on March 27, 2027, and will also sail on classic European itineraries such as Enchanting Danube and Delightful Danube.
In addition to Audrey and Marlene, Uniworld’s S.S. São Rafael will also debut in 2027.
