WELCOME TO OUR 50TH ANNIVERSARY COLLECTION The moment you step onto one of our Floating Boutique Hotels, you’ll feel it – that unmistakable sense of relaxed elegance, personalised service and effortless style that defines a Uniworld journey. Since our founding in 1976, we’ve had the privilege of taking curious, worldly travellers to some of the world’s most inspiring destinations. And as we celebrate our 50th anniversary, we continue to evolve, introducing new ships, new itineraries and refined ways to explore Europe in true Uniworld fashion. NEW FOR 2026 We are delighted to debut the S.S. Emilie, an exquisite new Super ShipTM inspired by the art and elegance of Gustav Klimt and his muse, Emilie Flöge. Sailing the Danube, she will operate on a number of existing Uniworld itineraries as well as six brand-new journeys. These include new additions such as Vineyards & Palaces along the Danube, Capital Cities Along the Danube and Danube Grandeur with Prague, to name just a few.
LOOKING AHEAD TO 2027 Building on this momentum, 2027 will see three new Super Ships join the Uniworld fleet, including the striking S.S. Marlene. Inspired by the timeless glamour of Marlene Dietrich and carrying just 154 guests, she will be one of the most luxurious ships to sail through Europe. Additionally, we’re delighted to welcome the S.S. Audrey, sister ship to the S.S. Marlene and the S.S. Emilie. Taking inspiration from Audrey Hepburn, the brand-new build will pay homage to the star’s elegance. Expect beautiful onboard spaces inspired by Hepburn’s life and works, with elements of her iconic style imbued throughout. Both ships will sail the rivers of Europe – offering our guests truly unrivalled luxury on a range of new and existing itineraries. Full details of each itinerary these ships will be sailing can be found on our website. Finally, joining them is the S.S. São Rafael, a chartered brother ship to the S.S. São Gabriel, expanding Uniworld’s ever popular Douro River voyages in Portugal. The name São Rafael is a nod to Portugal’s legacy of exploration and maritime history. In Vasco da Gama’s first voyage to India in 1497, São Gabriel served as the flagship, while São Rafael sailed alongside under the command of Paulo da Gama. Following the exceptional success of our first partnership sailings, which sold out within weeks of launching, we are also thrilled to introduce two brand-new Uniworld & Seabourn combination cruises for 2027. Each pairs our iconic Venice itinerary with a different Seabourn voyage through the Mediterranean, Adriatic and Aegean. Released much further in advance due to high demand, availability for these 16-day journeys is expected to remain limited.
SPECTACULAR JOURNEYS OF THE WORLD COLLECTION Finally, we’ve continued to enhance our renowned Spectacular Journeys of the World Collection, offering the finest luxury long-haul travel experiences. These itineraries combine the very best of river cruising with stays in exceptional hotels and small-group land experiences. More information can be found in our brochure, or alternatively on our website. As we enter this milestone chapter, we look forward to welcoming you on board and sharing the joy, beauty and discovery of travelling the world the Uniworld way – in intimate spaces, with personalised service and in all-inclusive luxury. Warmest regards,
ELLEN BETTRIDGE PRESIDENT & CEO UNIWORLD BOUTIQUE RIVER CRUISES

PERFECTING THE ART OF LUXURY Celebrating 50 Years of Exceptional Journeys For nearly five decades, Uniworld has perfected the art of luxury river cruising – elevating every detail, anticipating every need and reimagining what it means to travel in style. We pioneered boutique ships that feel like floating hotels, introduced all-inclusive pricing for simplicity and ease, and crafted immersive itineraries that go beyond the expected – exploring hidden-gem destinations far from the usual route. Our boldest innovations include the launch of our iconic Super Ships and the creation of award-winning experiences such as the World’s Greatest Rail & River Journeys and the Spectacular Journeys of the World collection. In 2026, we continue this legacy with the debut of the S.S. Emilie, inspired by Gustav Klimt, and the launch of our most ambitious itinerary yet – the 50-Day Rivers of the World Cruise, a seamless celebration of everything Uniworld does best.

Think exclusive cultural encounters, private visits, and luxurious stays crafted with the same meticulous attention to detail as our ships. This is more than a milestone it’s a celebration of everything we’ve learned, everything we’ve loved, and everything still to come. And it’s all for you.

LAUNCHING IN 2026 AND 2027 A New Era of Luxury as We Celebrate 50 Years As we celebrate our 50th anniversary, we continue to look ahead – finding new ways to enrich the Uniworld experience while staying true to the personalised luxury that defines us. A TRIO OF NEW-BUILD SISTER SHIPS We are proud to introduce three newly built sister ships; each inspired by a unique icon. S.S. EMILIE – LAUNCHING 2026 Inspired by the artistry of Gustav Klimt and his muse Emilie Flöge, S.S. Emilie blends rich colour, pattern and Viennese elegance. She will sail a selection of existing itineraries along with six exciting new journeys, offering guests even greater choice along the Danube. S.S. MARLENE – LAUNCHING 2027 Channelling the iconic glamour of Marlene Dietrich, S.S. Marlene evokes the allure of old Hollywood and the charisma of European cabaret. With space for just 154 guests, she will be one of the most luxurious ships to travel through Europe. S.S. AUDREY – LAUNCHING 2027 A tribute to Audrey Hepburn’s timeless style, S.S. Audrey embodies understated sophistication. Her chic interiors echo the elegance and charm of one of cinema’s most beloved figures. Like her sisters, she will sail a variety of new and existing European itineraries in signature Uniworld style. Together, these three new-builds usher in a fresh era of design, artistry and luxury on Europe’s rivers. EXPANDING OUR PRESENCE IN PORTUGAL Completing this impressive line-up is the S.S. São Rafael, joining the fleet in 2027. A chartered brother ship to the S.S. São Gabriel, he will expand our much-loved Douro River programme and welcome even more guests to Portugal’s dramatic wine country.

NEW FOR 2027: TWO EXCEPTIONAL RIVER AND OCEAN JOURNEYS The final addition to our 2027 launches is a pair of remarkable new itineraries created in partnership with Seabourn. After the incredible success of our first combined river and ocean journeys, we are delighted to introduce two brand-new departures for the year ahead. Each itinerary is built around our iconic Venice sailing aboard S.S. La Venezia, paired with a different ultra-luxury Seabourn voyage through the Mediterranean, Adriatic or Aegean. One itinerary begins with Seabourn before joining Uniworld in Venice, while the other begins in Venice and continues to sea – offering two distinct ways to explore Europe in seamless style. With upgraded accommodations and an expanded sixteen-day format, these are enhanced journeys designed for travellers seeking the very best. Learn more about this unique partnership on pages 18-23.

DISCOVER THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS Where River and Ocean Cruising Meet in Unrivalled Luxury When we announced an industry first for the 2026 season, introducing journeys that combined Uniworld’s ultra-luxury river cruising with Seabourn’s ultra-luxury ocean voyages, the concept resonated deeply with our guests. It reflected a growing desire to experience both river and ocean travel in one seamless, elevated journey. Interest was immediate and enthusiastic, with both departures selling out at a record-breaking pace. To meet this continued demand, we are releasing an enhanced collection for 2027 much further in advance, and with interest already building, availability will remain limited. WHAT’S NEW FOR 2027 The year ahead brings two brand-new departures, each built around Uniworld’s hugely popular Venice sailing aboard Super Ship La Venezia. What makes these journeys even more exceptional is that each one pairs this iconic Venetian voyage with a different Seabourn itinerary through the Mediterranean, Adriatic and Aegean, offering two distinct ways to explore Europe by river and by sea. These journeys have been extended from fifteen to sixteen days, giving you more time to savour every moment. The luxurious Seabourn ship you will be sailing on has also been upgraded, with guests now travelling aboard the stunning Seabourn Ovation for the ocean portion of the itinerary. In addition, the entry-level categories on both ships have also been enhanced, with guests enjoying a Deluxe stateroom on Uniworld paired with a Veranda Suite on Seabourn, ensuring elevated luxury from the very start.
