UNIWORLD ANNOUNCES THREE NEW SUPER SHIPS WILL JOIN FLEET IN 2027
Uniworld Boutique River Cruises announces the addition of three new Super Ships to its fleet, set to debut in 2027. The ships will be brand new builds, featuring lavish designs inspired by the destinations they sail through, and will complete Uniworld’s transformation to an all-Super Ship fleet. Uniworld’s trademark Super Ships are the pinnacle of luxury, with grand design elements using only the highest quality materials like custom fabrics, hand-carved wood and marble floors. Onboard all Super Ships, guests will find original artwork at every corner, most specially commissioned for the ship or by famed artists; and more space, including additional suites and dining venues, and ultra-luxurious amenities. All three new vessels will sail throughout Europe, cruising the Rhine, Main, Danube and Douro rivers.
“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,” says 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; the S.S. Elisabeth, debuting in 2025; and the S.S. Victoria, which set sail in 2024 – all in Europe – expanding the line’s fleet size by over 10% since 2020. Uniworld ships are the most extraordinary vessels on the rivers, all one-of-a-kind floating boutique hotels with curated artwork, custom decor to bring the destination to life onboard, and furniture of the highest quality. Similar to the S.S. Emilie, which is inspired by renowned Austrian painter Gustav Klimt and named after his life partner and muse, Emilie Flöge, the new builds 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. Uniworld sailings are five-star and all-inclusive, with impeccable service, farm-to-table cuisine and curated excursions, for a luxurious river cruising experience that can’t be found anywhere else.
