Uniworld Boutique River Cruises has unveiled its third 'Rivers of the World' cruise, set to depart on April 16, 2026, and end on June 5, 2026. The 50-night journey, coinciding with the brand's 50th anniversary, will span multiple countries and continents.
The itinerary begins in Brussels, Belgium, where guests will be among the first to sail on Uniworld's new Super Ship, the Gustav Klimt-inspired S.S. Emilie, to Amsterdam. Following this, travelers will embark on Uniworld's Mystery Cruise, sailing to undisclosed destinations on a surprise vessel.
"2026 is going to be a very special year for us at Uniworld, as we celebrate our 50-year journey of transforming the river cruise experience,” said Ellen Bettridge, president and CEO of Uniworld Boutique River Cruises, in a press release. “What was once a means of moving goods and services is now the best way for curious travelers to immerse themselves in the incredible places that only we can go."

The journey continues on the S.S. Joie de Vivre, cruising the Seine from Paris through the French countryside. Guests will then travel by first-class train to Lyon, where they'll board the S.S. Catherine for a sail to Avignon and a visit to Cassis.
The final leg of the trip takes place in Egypt, with guests flying to Cairo before sailing the Nile on the S.S. Sphinx. Highlights include access to the Grand Egyptian Museum, a visit to the Pyramids of Giza, and exploration of the temples of Abu Simbel.
