Joining the Uniworld Boutique River Cruises fleet in 2027 will be a trio of newly constructed riverboats. These signature luxury Super Ships have yet to be named, but they will take design inspiration from historical figures connected to their respective sailing regions, which will include the Rhine, Main, Danube and Douro rivers. 

The vessels, each displaying their very own look and feel, will be more spacious with additional suites and dining venues, according to Uniworld.

Editor’s note: This article will be updated as more details are revealed.

“2027 will mark an extraordinary milestone for Uniworld as we complete our transformation into a fully Super Ship fleet with the addition of three incredible new builds,” said Ellen Bettridge, president and CEO of the line. “Our focus has never been on simply adding more ships, but on continually raising the bar on the luxury river cruise experience. These new vessels will embody our unwavering commitment to innovation and craftsmanship, delivering something truly unparalleled for our valued guests — where no detail is too small.”

Our focus has never been on simply adding more ships, but on continually raising the bar on the luxury river cruise experience.

Future guests can expect the same five-star, all-inclusive lifestyle as the rest of the fleet, which will consist entirely of Super Ships. Taking into consideration the debuts of S.S. Emile (in 2026), S.S. Elisabeth (in 2025) and S.S. Victoria (in 2024), the total additions will mark an over 10% fleet increase since 2020.
