YOU DESERVE THE BEST
TINY NOTICEABLE TOUCHES Unparalleled luxury found in every detail
You Deserve the Best For more than four decades, Uniworld has specialized in providing beautifully curated, one-of-a-kind journeys aboard our award-winning Floating Boutique Hotels. Our fleet of destination-inspired ships sails the rivers of Europe, Egypt, Southeast Asia, India, and Peru in all-inclusive luxury, and we’d be honored to welcome you onboard. Find your inspiration as you read through the pages of this brochure. From our more traditional cruises along the Rhine, Main, and Danube—offering up experiences both picturesque and historic; to indulgent voyages in France, Italy, and Portugal; and such Extraordinary Destinations as the Amazon Rainforest and the Mekong Delta; there is truly something for everyone. In 2024, our guests can travel farther and longer than ever with the most ambitious journey in the modern river cruising industry, our 55-day Rivers of the World cruise. We’ve also introduced no less than five new Cruise & Rail itineraries, combining some of our most popular river cruises with luxury train journeys to the Swiss Alps, Istanbul, the Balkan region, and more. The excitement continues with the addition of two beautiful Super Ships to our fleet. S.S. Victoria joining in 2024 and S.S. Elisabeth in 2025, will both bring contemporary luxury and the largest suites to the rivers of Europe. In 2025, we have several new itineraries, including the 15-day Rhine, Moselle & Belgium Grand Discovery, an 11-day Dutch & Belgian Holiday Celebration for the winter, and an 18-day combination of our Bordeaux and Portugal itineraries, Wine Roads of France & Portugal. In whichever way you choose to explore the world, do it in the unparalleled style of Uniworld. After all, you deserve the best.

A HISTORY OF OUR HOSPITALITY EXCELLENCE The story of our travel family
From the moment you step onboard our one-of-a-kind award-winning ships, you notice the Uniworld difference. That’s because we share the guiding influence of the Tollman family with the renowned Red Carnation Hotel Collection. The Tollmans are the creative visionaries behind our luxury, floating boutique hotel experience and their passion for personal touches can be found everywhere—from the distinct design of our ships to the recipes for our locally sourced cuisine and the unmatched staff attentiveness. With over a century of experience in tourism and hospitality, the Tollman family provides us with invaluable connections, destination knowledge, and expertise. We’re proud to follow their commitment to hospitality excellence.
DESIGNED TO INSPIRE The Tollmans have designed a collection of gorgeous boutique hotel properties around the world, and they’ve taken that penchant for bespoke creations to the rivers with our floating boutique hotels. Step onboard to see how they’ve crafted our ships to reflect the rivers on which we cruise, with distinctive themes, beautiful color palettes, original art, and personally selected furnishings.
A SPIRIT OF SERVICE If there’s one thing we share with every single one of our sister brands, it’s that guests are at the heart of every experience, and we all want you to feel like family from the moment we first greet you. Whether it’s remembering exactly how you like your cocktail prepared, ending every exchange with a cheerful grin, or surprising you with a thoughtful treat, we and our travel family have created a legacy of providing unforgettable experiences.
A NOURISHED PALATE Much of the attention to detail you’ll find onboard took root in the kitchen. Delicious dishes and culinary feats have become a cornerstone for Red Carnation Hotels and Uniworld Boutique River Cruises alike. Whether that means immersing you in your destinations with authentic local cuisine or serving comfort foods from the Tollman family recipes, like our guests’ favorite sesame fried chicken.

FOLLOWING IN THE CREATIVE FOOTSTEPS
of The Red Carnation Hotel Collection Boutique hospitality, unmatched service and a dedication to going above and beyond for our guests are deep-rooted in our DNA—we’re the only cruise line to also own and operate a collection of luxury boutique hotels. Uniworld is modeled after our sister company, the five-star Red Carnation Hotel Collection, and we’ve been able to tap into their more than 100 years of experience and bring their knowledge and expertise to the rivers. Thanks to their words of wisdom, we employ our own full-time staff, both onboard and onshore, and don’t outsource any elements of your cruise to third parties. When you travel with Uniworld, you know exactly what you’ll get, each and every time.

THE MOST PERSONAL SERVICE
from the most tenured crew on the rivers We treat our staff and guests like family—a philosophy instilled in our company culture as a family-owned business. This philosophy, rooted in the Tollman family’s long-standing involvement in the hospitality industry, is the driving force behind our guest-centric atmosphere. And it’s the reason you leave your cruise feeling like part of the family. It’s also why each detail carries the same weight. “No request is too large, No detail too small” comes to life in the interactions we share with our guests. Your river cruise is focused on a singular goal: to give you the unique and unforgettable experience you seek, with the impeccable, personalized service you deserve. Every guest receives our full attention, with an incredible guest-to-staff ratio of 2.4 to 1 (the best on the rivers), unmatched attention to detail, and in-suite butlers trained to the highest standards in the industry because everything worth doing, is worth doing well.
“First Uniworld cruise and would definitely recommend them as a preferred cruise line. Paid attention to my every need. Very attentive to every detail.” – Deborah, ENCHANTING DANUBE

OUR COMMITMENT to unrivaled excellence in luxury river cruising
More than 10 years ago we redefined the term “unsurpassed luxury” when we launched the first Super Ship—the S.S. Antoinette. With custom décor that brought the Rhine region to life onboard, this ship completely transformed the standards of river cruising. We continue to launch new Super Ships with each passing year as we work towards transforming our entire fleet, delivering the absolute best experience in river cruising. Our Super Ships represent the epitome of luxury in river cruising. It’s the oneof-a-kind design that Uniworld represents, with more suites, more dining options and more luxurious Tiny Noticeable Touches throughout. Uniworld guests have 12 extraordinary Super Ships to choose from, including the newest to our fleet— S.S. Victoria and S.S. Elisabeth in Western Europe, S.S. Sphinx in Egypt, Mekong Jewel in Vietnam & Cambodia, S.S. La Venezia in Italy, and S.S. São Gabriel in Portugal. We don’t believe in filling the rivers with a large fleet of identical ships. We believe in quality over quantity. That’s why the select few ships we operate account for the best of the best on the world’s rivers. This commitment to quality has consistently earned us a top ranked spot in both Condé Nast Traveler’s Readers’ Choice Awards and Travel + Leisure’s World’s Best Awards, year after year.
“Beautiful amenities on the ship, strong communication, experience that made us feel the ship was our home.” – Matthew, CASTLES ALONG THE RHINE

A PASSION FOR SUSTAINABLE TOURISM and a penchant for giving back
01
As part of our dedication to sustainability, we focus on making a positive impact and advocating for environmental, social, and economic responsibility. We’re proud to be part of The Travel Corporation (TTC) and further its How We Tread Right strategy, which is anchored to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Under the guidance of Uniworld’s Sustainability Officer, Julie Higgins, we’ve made significant progress across several areas of operation. Read below for highlights from 2023! 01 CLIMATE ACTION We’ve become the only cruise line to join Path2Zero, a research project aimed at reaching net-zero carbon emissions in Europe. We’re contributing financial support, advice, and the expertise of our captains and engineers, who are helping test real-world solutions in the program’s “Living Labs.” 02
02 FOOD WASTE Over the last couple of years, we’ve piloted a comprehensive food waste measurement and reduction system known as Leanpath on a select few ships. In 2022 alone, food waste was reduced by 34% across 6 Uniworld ships, equating to 24,169 meals saved. In 2023, we expanded the program to every ship we own! 03 ELIMINATING PLASTIC We’re eliminating single-use plastics across our fleet by introducing refillable toiletry dispensers, bamboo room keys, cloth laundry bags, and more. Along the way, we’ve discovered that these high quality, sustainable alternatives

also provide a more luxurious experience than their disposable counterparts. 04 EXPERIENCES Our MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experiences take guests on unique and immersive local experiences that show them how their travels can directly and positively impact the destinations they visit.
