Uniworld's new 46-night 'Rivers of the World' setting sail in May 2023

U by Uniworld announces new foodie cruise & inclusions for 2021

TORONTO — U by Uniworld has set forth with a new mission: to remind guests why they love to travel, with brand new themed cruises and inclusions for 2021.

Four new and updated itineraries on The A and The B ships will debut next year, as well as a new family program and the cruise line’s first foodie-themed cruise.

“We’re introducing these unconventional experiences that align with clients’ playful and adventurous energy and will bring even more value to our sailings than before with our new inclusions,” says Ellen Bettridge, President and CEO of U by Uniworld. “We’ve seen a huge uptick in interest for clients seeking smaller cruise ships next year. We know our ships’ high guest to staff ratio, close proximity to shore, enhanced health and safety protocols, and less people onboard, will keep our guests’ minds at ease as we go into this new era of travel.”

Here’s an overview of what’s new for 2021:

NEW ITINERARIES

In 2021, U’s four new and updated itineraries on The A and The B include Amsterdam & Brussels Bound, Vienna VibeEastern Europe Escape and the reimagined Rolling on the Rhine. These seven-night itineraries take clients to hot destinations like Belgrade, Amsterdam, Vienna, Brussels, and Cologne.

GenZ ON U

This new family program has been designed exclusively for teens and their parents and will be available on six select sailings. Teens will have a designated onboard teen lounge to hang with others their own age. Fun offerings include karaoke contests, foosball tournaments, camping on the rooftop, trivia nights, projector movie nights, pretzel demonstrations and more.

U’s first foodie-themed cruise will set sail on July 24, 2021 in collaboration with top food influencer Salvatore DiBenedetto, known as The GrubFather (@thegrubfather) on Instagram. On this ‘Rolling on the Rhine’ cruise, guests will experience a specially curated menu, excursions and onboard activities that were created by DiBenedetto and the U team first hand.
