Uniworld Boutique River Cruises has launched a new online education course through its Uniworld University.

The coursework covers the luxury river cruise line's plans for 2025, including five new itineraries, expanded land extensions and additional "Make Travel Matter” experiences. Participants will also learn about the brand-new S.S. Elisabeth ship, which is scheduled to debut in 2025 and sail itineraries like the "Castles Along the Rhine" tour from Basel to Amsterdam. Sister ship S.S. Emilie, inspired by artist Gustav Klimt, will debut in 2026 and homeport in Vienna.

"We're committed to equipping our trusted travel advisors with the most up-to-date and comprehensive information as we continue to enhance our portfolio," said Ellen Bettridge, president and CEO of Uniworld. "Our advisors are wonderful partners to us, and we're excited to welcome their clients onboard for another year of one-of-a-kind, bucket list adventures."

Among new itineraries for 2025 that advisors will learn about is the 18-day "Wine Roads of France and Portugal” tour, which highlights the Bordeaux and Douro Valley wine regions; and the "Rhine, Moselle & Belgium Grand Discovery" tour, a 15-day voyage from Belgium to Switzerland that visits six countries.

Expanded land extensions covered in the coursework include a four-day Swiss Alps adventure that visits Engelberg and Lucerne's Christmas markets. Additional extensions will be available in Zurich, Madeira and Kitzbuhel, among others.

Then, Uniworld is working to include at least one "Make Travel Matter” sustainable tourism experience on every 2025 itinerary. These excursions are designed to connect guests with local communities and nature while leaving a positive impact.

Graduates of the Uniworld University course receive exclusive rates, CLIA credits, a website listing and other benefits.
