Sailing by river allows you to glide effortlessly through the heart of countries–docking in city centres and charming towns alike. You’ll explore multiple destinations in one seamless journey, unpacking only once and arriving refreshed, every time.
IMMERSIVE, MEANINGFUL EXPERIENCES
Every Uniworld journey includes rare, culturally rich experiences designed to bring you closer to the heart of each destination. Think private, crowd-free access to iconic landmarks and unforgettable moments such as an exclusive evening viewing of Klimt’s masterpieces at Vienna’s Belvedere Palace.
LAUNCHING IN 2026
Welcoming the Newest Super Ship to Our Fleet
In 2026, we are proud to introduce the S.S. Emilie, a stunning new super ship set to grace the Danube River with eight exclusive itineraries that traverse the heart of Europe. This elegant 154-passenger vessel takes inspiration from the renowned Austrian painter Gustav Klimt and is named in honour of his life partner and muse, Emilie Flöge. The S.S. Emilie is a true masterpiece, featuring Klimt's iconic artistic style woven seamlessly throughout its design, with captivating hues of green, blue, and yellow, striking gold accents, and enchanting Art Nouveau elements that create an unparalleled atmosphere of luxury.
Aboard the S.S. Emilie, enjoy a variety of exceptional amenities, including a unique onboard restaurant, a stylish lounge, and a chic bar. Additionally, for those seeking the ultimate indulgence, the ship offers the option to reserve a spacious two-bedroom suite by booking a Grand Suite alongside the adjoining Deluxe French Balcony stateroom.
Prepare to embark on a journey of elegance and exploration as you discover the beauty and culture of Europe’s most captivating rivers aboard the S.S. Emilie.

A MASTERPIECE ON THE WATER:
The Design Inspiration of S.S. Emilie
At Uniworld, we’re constantly evolving –reimagining what luxury river cruising can be, and refining every detail to deliver unforgettable experiences. Our newest Super Ship, S.S. Emilie, is the latest expression of that vision.
Inspired by Gustav Klimt's artistry, S.S. Emilie is a tribute to beauty, creativity, and timeless design. Klimt’s iconic use of gold, pattern, and texture shaped the ship’s interiors–from hand-selected artwork and gilded accents to flowing curves and opulent textiles. Named after Emilie Flöge, Klimt’s muse and a pioneering designer in her own right, the ship also honours bold femininity and Viennese elegance.
We believe the magic of travel lies in the details – in how a space makes you feel, and how seamlessly it connects you to the culture and stories of the destination. S.S. Emilie is not simply a vessel to carry you along the Danube; she’s an invitation to experience Central Europe's art, history and romance with all the beauty and grace you’ve come to expect from Uniworld.
With S.S. Emilie, we welcome a new chapter in our story – where timeless elegance meets artistic daring, and every journey feels like a masterpiece.
A NEW CHAPTER IN TRAVEL. TIMELESS DESTINATIONS. FRESH PERSPECTIVES
