Suite (S.S. Maria Theresa)

Each of our luxury floating boutique hotels brings your destinations onboard

The ships in our fleet are passion projects, through and through. Every unique design scheme and piece of art—the structure, the intricacy, and the handcrafted items—is assembled to be a masterpiece in and of itself. To step onboard is to step into a world where the colors and one-of-a-kind details of your destinations come to life.

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.

Le Restaurant Pigalle (S.S. Joie de Vivre)

Our Design Ethos

Each ship is inspired by the very rivers upon which they cruise. We bring your destination onboard through distinctive themes, color palettes, custom-made fabrics, personally selected original artwork, antiques, and sumptuous furnishings.

Grand Suite (S.S. La Venezia)

Tiny Noticeable Touches

When we design a new ship, we ensure each element, down to the smallest detail, has been thoughtfully considered and flawlessly rendered. It's this careful attention to quality that brings our ships to life and makes our guests feel like royalty.

Suite (S.S. Catherine)

A Passion for Style

We took the finest boutique hotels in the world and made them float—literally. Many of Uniworld's ships were designed by the team behind the five-star Red Carnation Hotel Collection, known for their chic interior décor, gracious service, and carefully selected amenities.

Grand Suite Bathroom (S.S. Bon Voyage)

Elevated Suites

When you stay in one of our spacious suites, you'll enjoy outstanding butler service, large all-marble bathrooms with a double vanity, Asprey bath and body products, a fully-stocked bar, fresh cookies and fruit delivered daily, and more.
Note: Amenities vary by ship

Exterior (S.S. Bon Voyage)

Our Super ShipTM Fleet

With more suites, more dining venues, and grand design elements, our Super ShipTM fleet elevates not only the Uniworld experience but the luxury river cruise standard as a whole.

“Fabulous attention to detail on this amazing boat, the decor is stunning!”

“River cruising really was the only way to see the Douro River Valley, and the São Gabriel was simply the best ship on the Douro.”

– Jennifer P. (Douro River Valley)

“We spent a week on Maria Theresa cruising the Danube. The ship itself is beautiful and we loved the baroque design details. This design causes it to stand out from all the other cruises we’ve taken.”
