Uniworld’s newest Super Ship to debut in 2026

LOS ANGELES — Uniworld Boutique River Cruises has a brand new ship on the way.

The company’s newest Super Ship, the S.S. Emilie, is set to debut in Europe in 2026. The ship will be a new build inspired by Austrian painter Gustav Klimt and named after his life partner and muse, Emilie Flöge.

The new vessel will come just in time for Uniworld’s 50th anniversary, said Ellen Bettridge, President and CEO of Uniworld Boutique River Cruises.

“Our commitment to excellence is unwavering, and this outstanding new vessel reaffirms our dedication to providing the best and most luxurious ships on the rivers. We believe in delivering the highest level of quality to our guests, and our portfolio truly embodies the best of the best in the market,” added Bettridge.

Uniworld has a number of new Super Ships joining the fleet in the coming months. The S.S. Emilie will join the S.S. Victoria, debuting on the Rhine and Moselle rivers in 2024, and the S.S. Elisabeth, debuting on the Rhine in 2025.

Uniworld has also 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.
