River Cruise

Uniworld

Boutique hotel on water. Each ship a one-of-a-kind original — no two alike.

Floating Boutique Hotels

Uniworld doesn’t build ships. They build one-of-a-kind boutique hotels that happen to sail rivers. S.S. Antoinette channels French aristocracy on the Rhine. S.S. Joie de Vivre is a Parisian pied-a-terre on the Seine. Aria Amazon carries just 32 guests through the Peruvian jungle with floor-to-ceiling windows. No two Uniworld ships look or feel alike — original artwork, handcrafted furniture, fine antiques in every public space.

Their 2027 early booking savings are available now — lock in next year’s rates before they climb.

The Super Ship Standard

Their “Super Ship” designation marks the flagships — vessels so meticulously designed they’d hold their own as boutique hotels on land. The all-inclusive model is comprehensive: three daily meals with fresh local ingredients, unlimited fine wines and spirits, daily shore excursions, entertainment, and the highest crew-to-guest ratio on any river. When you’re on a Uniworld ship, you don’t reach for your wallet. Ever.

Five Decades on Every River That Matters

Fifty years of river cruise expertise shows in their range. Beyond Europe’s classics — the Danube, Rhine, and Mekong — they sail the Nile in Egypt, the Ganges in India, and the Amazon in Peru. The Cruise & Rail program pairs river voyages with Golden Eagle Luxury Trains and the Maharajas’ Express for a luxury rail extension. Their 51-day Rivers of the World itinerary is the industry’s longest river world cruise.

Destinations & Experiences

Uniworld’s sweet spot is river cruises through Europe’s historic waterways, but they go far beyond. Egypt on the Nile, Vietnam on the Mekong, and the Amazon for expedition-style river travel. For culinary journeys, each ship’s menus reflect the region you’re sailing through — it’s farm-to-ship dining in real time.

Why Book Through Travel Tamers

Uniworld group bookings deliver premium pricing, onboard credits, and dedicated coordination from their sales team. We’ll help you build the right itinerary — whether it’s a Christmas Markets sailing, a multi-generational family trip on the Danube, or a Cruise & Rail combo that adds a luxury train to your river voyage.
