Uniworld expands European fleet with three new vessels

Uniworld Boutique River Cruises is further expanding its European fleet with three new ships due to enter service in 2027.

The new vessels will sail the Rhine, Main, Danube and Douro rivers.

They will join the line’s other Super Ships, including SS Emilie debuting in 2026, SS Elisabeth this year and SS Victoria in 2024 – expanding the line’s fleet size by more than 10% since 2020. 

The new builds will be inspired by prominent figures with strong connections to the regions sailed. 

The new ships, each carrying an average of 120 passengers, will follow the same design approach, each with its own unique inspiration, look and feel, according to the company. 

President and chef executive Ellen Bettridge said: “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. 

“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.”
