Uniworld Boutique River Cruises is preparing for an exciting year ahead with its new offerings for 2024. The highlight of the year will be the addition of the brand’s newest ship, the S.S. Victoria. In addition to the new ship, Uniworld is also extending its popular “Cruise & Rail” program with five new itineraries. Guests can also look forward to a new pre-cruise extension in South America, the second annual “Rivers of the World Cruise,” early booking discounts, and more.
One of the most anticipated additions to Uniworld’s fleet is the S.S. Victoria, which will begin sailing in Europe in March 2024. The ship will debut in Amsterdam with the eight-day “Holland & Belgium at Tulip Time” cruise. This itinerary will be followed by the eight-day “Castles Along the Rhine” itinerary from Basel to Amsterdam, and then the 10-day “Magnificent Moselle and Rhine” itinerary. The season will conclude with the eight-day holiday-themed “Belgium Holiday Markets” sailing round-trip from Brussels.
In addition to the S.S. Victoria, Uniworld will also introduce the S.S. Elisabeth in 2025. These Super Ships will offer guests a luxurious and comfortable way to explore Europe’s waterways.
Uniworld is also expanding its “Cruise & Rail” program with five new itineraries in Europe. These itineraries combine river cruises with train journeys, offering guests a unique and immersive travel experience. One of the highlights is the 15-day “Delightful Danube & the Castles of Transylvania” itinerary, which starts in Istanbul and visits landmarks such as Bran Castle, also known as Dracula’s castle. The river-cruise portion of the itinerary sails through Budapest and Vienna onboard the River Duchess, gliding through the scenic Wachau Valley.
