2027 Brings New Ways to Explore A TRIO OF NEW EUROPEAN SUPER SHIPS S.S. AUDREY | S.S. MARLENE | S.S. SÃO RAFAEL NEW ITINERARIES FOR 2027 SCENIC RHINE, PARIS & THE SWISS ALPS PARIS, PRAGUE & GERMANY’S HIDDEN GEMS GRAND HIGHLIGHTS OF THE DANUBE

Welcome Aboard At Uniworld, we are always looking for new ways to make travelling through Europe even more extraordinary. For 2027, that means continuing to invest in our fleet, enhancing the journeys our guests already love and creating even more ways to experience this remarkable continent - both on the rivers and beyond them. Our ships have always been at the heart of the Uniworld experience, and I’m incredibly excited about what 2027 will bring. We will welcome three beautiful new Super Ships - S.S. Audrey, S.S. Marlene and S.S. São Rafael - each designed as a one-of-a-kind floating boutique hotel, and each with a personality entirely its own. They will bring even more choice to the Rhine, Danube and Douro, while delivering everything our guests have come to expect from Uniworld - distinctive design, exceptional service and an extraordinary attention to detail. Of course, individuality is something that runs throughout our entire fleet. S.S. La Venezia captures the romance and artistry of Venice and its lagoon, S.S. Catherine, godmothered by legendary French actress Catherine Deneuve, reflects the elegance of southern France, while S.S. Maria Theresa is a magnificent homage to the grandeur of the Habsburg era. It’s one of the things I love most about Uniworld. Wherever you choose to sail, no two ships - and no two journeys - are ever quite the same. And our vision for Europe doesn’t end at the riverbank. We’re continuing to develop our collection of Cruise & Tour journeys, combining our river cruises with exceptional hotels, extraordinary experiences and more time on land. For those looking to travel even further, our collection also extends beyond Europe, with immersive journeys to some of the world’s most remarkable destinations.

Discover our complete collection of longer, more immersive Cruise & Tour journeys, together with our luxurious long-haul adventures beyond Europe, in the enclosed leaflet.

For me, this is what luxury travel should be about - having more choice, more time and more meaningful ways to experience a destination, while knowing every detail has been taken care of. Whether you’re joining us aboard one of our newest ships, returning to a favourite European river or discovering somewhere entirely new, I truly believe there has never been a more exciting time to travel with Uniworld.

I look forward to welcoming you on board.

Warmest regards,

THE FINEST SHIPS On The World’s Rivers At Uniworld, the journey is every bit as extraordinary as the destination. Our ships are not simply a way to travel between the world’s most remarkable places they are destinations in their own right. Designed as one-of-a-kind floating boutique hotels, no two Uniworld ships are alike. Each has its own distinctive character, thoughtfully created to reflect the destinations through which it sails. From original works of art and hand-selected antiques to bespoke furnishings, sumptuous fabrics and beautifully appointed suites, every detail is considered. The result is a collection of ships unlike anything else on the rivers - intimate, individual and unmistakably Uniworld. And in 2027, our fleet enters an exciting new chapter. Three spectacular new Super Ships join the collection, each bringing an entirely new design story to the rivers they will call home. S.S. Audrey brings the timeless elegance and iconic style of Audrey Hepburn to the Rhine, while S.S. Marlene takes inspiration from the glamour and distinctive character of Marlene Dietrich as she sails the Danube. On Portugal’s Douro, S.S. São Rafael joins S.S. São Gabriel, introducing another beautifully designed floating boutique hotel to one of Europe’s most captivating wine regions. Across Europe and beyond, our fleet continues to redefine what it means to travel by river. These are not simply ships. They are the world’s finest floating boutique hotels - and your home at the heart of every journey.

Wine Bar - S.S. São Rafael 12

The Douro is one of Europe’s most captivating waterways, winding through northern Portugal between terraced vineyards, historic wine estates and beautiful riverside towns. In 2027, our newest Super Ship, S.S. São Rafael, will make his debut here, doubling our capacity on the Douro and bringing a striking new addition to our fleet. With a unique design inspired by his Portuguese surroundings, he will feature a private wine tasting room and be one of the few ships on the Douro with an onboard sommelier - bringing the celebrated wines of the valley into the experience on board. Elegant, intimate and unmistakably Uniworld, S.S. São Rafael has been created to feel every bit as special as the river he calls home.

INSPIRED BY A LEGACY OF DISCOVERY The name S.S. São Rafael has a story of its own. In 1497, São Rafael sailed alongside São Gabriel on Vasco da Gama’s historic first voyage to India, under the command of his brother, Paulo da Gama. More than five centuries later, these two names will sail together once again on the Douro - a fitting tribute to Portugal’s maritime heritage and the spirit of discovery behind our newest Super Ship.
