Uniworld Boutique River Cruises will launch a brand-new Super Ship, the S.S. Emilie, in Europe in 2026.
The new river cruising ship will be a new build inspired by renowned Austrian painter Gustav Klimt and named after his life partner and muse, Emilie Flöge.
The S.S. Emilie joins other new Super Ships, including the S.S. Victoria (above), debuting on the Rhine and Moselle rivers in 2024, and the S.S. Elisabeth, debuting on the Rhine in 2025.
In addition, Uniworld has added five other Super Ships to its fleet since 2020, including the Mekong Jewel on the Mekong in Vietnam and Cambodia; Aria Amazon on the Maranon and Ucayali rivers in Peru; S.S. São Gabriel on the Douro in Portugal; S.S. La Venezia on the Venetian Lagoon; and S.S. Sphinx on the Nile in Egypt.
Uniworld ships are five-star floating boutique hotels designed to reflect the destinations in which they sail. Each ship is distinctive, with impeccable service, farm-to-table cuisine, and curated excursions for a luxurious and unique all-inclusive river cruising experience.
Los Angeles-based Uniworld Boutique River Cruise Collection features intimate, elegant boutique, hotel-style cruise ships with an average capacity of 134 guests, an award-winning staff with a ratio of one staff member for every three guests, world-class cuisine, and expertly planned itineraries with custom-blended shore excursions.
