Uniworld Boutique River Cruises is getting ready to welcome a newly constructed Super Ship — S.S. Emilie — in Europe in 2026. The vessel will take its inspiration from Austrian painter Gustav Klimt and be named after his life partner and muse, Emilie Floge.
We’re thrilled to introduce a brand-new ship to our fleet in 2026, just in time to celebrate Uniworld’s 50th anniversary.
“We’re thrilled to introduce a brand-new ship to our fleet in 2026, just in time to celebrate 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.”
S.S. Emilie will join the newly announced S.S. Victoria, coming to the Rhine and Moselle rivers in 2024, as well as S.S. Elisabeth, also setting sail on the Rhine in 2025. Unlike newbuild Emilie, both Victoria and Elisabeth are former Crystal River Cruises vessels that will be chartered from owner Riverside Luxury Cruises.
