Uniworld To Add Three New River Cruise Ships in 2027

Uniworld Boutique River Cruises will add three new Super Ships to its fleet in 2027. All three ships will be newbuilds, featuring the line’s signature lavish designs. All three will sail throughout Europe, on the Rhine, Main, Danube, and Douro rivers.

The three ships will complete the line’s transformation to an all-Super Ship fleet. Currently, the line’s fleet includes at least one vessel leased from another cruise line.

“2027 will mark an extraordinary milestone for Uniworld as we complete our transformation into a fully Super Ship fleet with the addition of three incredible new builds,” said Ellen Bettridge, president and CEO of Uniworld Boutique River Cruises. “Our focus has never been on simply adding more ships, but on continually raising the bar on the luxury river cruise experience. These new vessels will embody our unwavering commitment to innovation and craftsmanship, delivering something truly unparalleled for our valued guests – where no detail is too small.”

The three new ships will join other recent Super Ships including the S.S. Emilie, debuting in 2026, theS.S. Elisabeth, debuting this year, and the S.S. Victoria, which set sail in 2024.

Similar to the S.S. Emilie, which is inspired by Austrian painter Gustav Klimt and named after his life partner and muse, Emilie Flöge, the newbuilds will be inspired by prominent figures with strong connections to the regions sailed. The new ships will follow the same design approach, each with its own unique inspiration, look, and feel.

More information about the ships and itineraries will be forthcoming.
