Uniworld Boutique River Cruises has introduced a new course within its Uniworld University platform, giving travel advisors an early look at the brand's plans for 2026 and 2027 as it marks its 50th anniversary.

Advisors who complete the course — whether new to the program or returning — will receive exclusive travel advisor rates, CLIA certification credits, recognition as a Preferred Specialist on the Uniworld website and an official Preferred Specialist badge.

"As we celebrate 50 years of Uniworld, we're not only reflecting on our legacy, but looking ahead to a future shaped by even more immersive and innovative experiences," said Ellen Bettridge, president and CEO of Uniworld Boutique River Cruises. "This new course is designed to give our travel advisor partners an inside look at where we're headed – from new Super Ships to expanded journeys that go beyond the river – and equip them with the insight and tools to inspire their clients and drive bookings with confidence."

The course covers five planned ship additions by 2027, beginning with the S.S. Emilie this March, and extending to three European Super Ships and the Aqua Blu, an expedition yacht sailing Indonesia and Singapore in partnership with Aqua Expeditions. Advisors will also learn about 50th anniversary programming for 2026, new "Cruise & Tour" itineraries launching in 2027 in partnership with sister brand Luxury Gold, and expanded sailings across Europe and Southeast Asia.
