Each of our luxury floating boutique hotels
brings your destinations onboard.
The ships in our fleet are passion projects, through and through. Every unique design scheme and piece of art—the structure, the intricacy, and the handcrafted items—is assembled to be a masterpiece in and of itself. To step onboard is to step into a world where the colors and one-of-a-kind details of your destinations come to life.

We don’t believe in filling the rivers with a large fleet of identical ships. We believe in quality over quantity. That’s why the select few ships we operate account for the best of the best on the world’s rivers.
 

Our Design Ethos
Each ship is inspired by the very rivers upon which they cruise. We bring your destination onboard through distinctive themes, color palettes, custom-made fabrics, personally selected original artwork, antiques, and sumptuous furnishings.

Tiny Noticeable Touches
When we design a new ship, we ensure each element, down to the smallest detail, has been thoughtfully considered and flawlessly rendered. It's this careful attention to quality that brings our ships to life and makes our guests feel like royalty.
 

A Passion for Style
We took the finest boutique hotels in the world and made them float—literally. Many of Uniworld's ships were designed by the team behind the five-star Red Carnation Hotel Collection, known for their chic interior décor, gracious service, and carefully selected amenities.

No Two Suites are the Same
When you stay in one of our spacious suites, you'll enjoy outstanding butler service, large all-marble bathrooms with a double vanity, Asprey bath and body products, handcrafted Savoir® Beds of England, a fully-stocked bar, fresh cookies and fruit delivered daily, and more.
 

Our Classic Fleet
Meet the River Princess and River Duchess. With sophisticated grace and maximum capacities of just 130 guests, these classic ships are tried-and-true favorites among Uniworld guests.

Our Super Ship^TM Fleet
With more suites, more dining venues, and grand design elements, our Super Ship^TM fleet elevates not only the Uniworld experience but the luxury river cruise standard as a whole.

THE MOST ALL-INCLUSIVE AMENITIES
High quality, luxurious amenities
There’s all-inclusive, and then there’s the unmatched level of inclusive luxurious amenities that only we provide. To ensure truly carefree and effortless travel, we’ve gone ahead and included it all—so the only thing you have to do is sit back, relax, and enjoy your vacation.
 

Never Settle For Less
With every carefully selected inclusion, you'll find that we are committed to providing only the highest quality amenities. This makes every moment an opportunity for surprise and delight.

Never Go Hungry
Enjoy sumptuous buffet breakfasts and lunches during the day, then a four-course gourmet dinner in the evening. Craving a bite in between? Inquire about 24-hour room service and à  la carte menus. 
 

Never Be Thirsty
Never restricted to mealtimes or happy hours, you'll find that fine wines, local beers, and premium spirits flow freely throughout the cruise. Our bar closes when the last guest turns in for the evening.

Never Be Bored
Our onboard programming leaves nary a dull moment. Early rises will appreciate morning yoga sessions. Foodies may want to join a cooking demo. And those looking to dance the night away will find local entertainment in the lounge.

No Detail Too Small
The tiniest details often draw the brightest smiles. Our staff’s passion is apparent in their matchless attention to your interests, like remembering your drink order from day one, or venturing off the ship to surprise you with chocolates from a local shop you mentioned in passing.

The Most Tenured Crew On The Rivers
Travel with Uniworld, and you’ll find crew members that have worked with us for decades. Not only is working for the world’s most luxurious river cruise line aspirational, but we believe in treating our team like family—all of which inspires their passion for creating memorable travel experiences.

In-Suite Butlers
Book a suite, and you’ll be assigned a dedicated personal butler for your cruise. Our butlers don’t moonlight in other positions, enabling them to deliver exemplary service to our suite guests around the clock, including packing and unpacking services, room service, and more.

Butler service varies in Egypt, Southeast Asia, and India. Butler service is not available in Peru.

Culinary Excellence
We treat cooking as an art form, a very delicious art form.

Enjoy an Unrivaled Taste of your destinations
When dining onboard, you’ll be treated to world-class cuisine made from fresh ingredients, locally sourced from the destinations you visit.
 

Executive Chef, Robert van Rijsbergen
Our Executive Chef, Robert van Rijsbergen, joined Uniworld in 2022 to take our culinary excellence to the next level, with an emphasis on supporting our sustainability goals through ethically sourced cuisine.

“Throughout my years of cooking, I have been exposed to so many wonderful ingredients from all over the world. I hope to take Uniworld guests on a journey through these wonders, transforming the magic and authenticity of fresh local foods from the glorious places we sail, into exquisite meals that ignite taste buds and highlight the unique flavors of the location.”

From farm to ship
Farm-to-table isn’t just a trendy culinary buzzword around here. It’s a governing philosophy and commitment to serving you the very best local dishes created by our master chefs. When in Italy, dinner may consist of Prosciutto di Parma pizza and Osso Buco Milanese, prepared to your liking, with meats and vegetables sourced from just miles away. After a day immersed in Indian culture, your taste buds may do some immersing of their own with Gajar Shorba and Tandoori Chicken Tikka for lunch. Live brilliantly. Dine locally.

Wine Selections
Uniworld cruises through some of the world’s most acclaimed wine producing regions in Europe. Our onboard wine menus are expertly curated by our staff of Sommeliers to reflect the local destination. Plus, you can enjoy these local wines as part of your all-inclusive package.
 

Premium Spirits
Extra dirty Grey Goose martini with locally harvested olives? It’s all yours. As is everything else you can think of. With our ultra-inclusive amenities you can enjoy unlimited beverages onboard, including many premium spirits, such as: Grey Goose, Absolut, Bombay Sapphire, Tanqueray, Captain Morgan, Bacardi, 1800, Jack Daniel’s, Johnnie Walker, Crown Royal, Grand Marnier, Cointreau, Bailey’s Irish Cream, and Disaronno.

They are there to lend their expertise to you.
 

Wellness On The Water^TM

THE ONE THING MORE STUNNING THAN STEPPING ONBOARD
is stepping off.
Every Uniworld cruise is meticulously crafted to be an experience you won’t find anywhere else, filled with moments that are each more breathtaking than the last.

A PASSION FOR SUSTAINABLE TOURISM
and a penchant for giving back.

Travel has provided us the chance to give back and lift up others, and we strive to do so whenever possible. We focus on making a positive impact, with a mission to #MakeTravelMatter for people, wildlife and the planet for generations to come. And as a signatory of The Glasgow Declaration that has united several travel companies and organizations to hold each other accountable to vital carbon emissions goals, we’re part of a global effort to make the travel industry better for our planet—not just for our brand.

• People - We work with local artisans and small business everywhere we travel, so we can bring you authentic local experiences while also supporting the livelihoods of the people who make these communities special.
• Planet - Every year, we find more ways to cut back on our carbon footprint, from committing to eliminate more than 60 types of single-use plastics to reaching Net Zero by 2050.
• Wildlife - Partnering with leading wildlife organizations, we work to protect and rehabilitate elephant, rhino and big cat populations around the world, while ensuring that all of our experiences meet strict animal welfare standards. 

HOW WE TREAD RIGHT

Meet Our Sustainability Officer
Travel can and should be a force for good, which is why we've introduced an entirely new role to help keep pushing us towards a brighter future.

"What has become blatantly clear for us is that to make progress, we need to ensure that we can measure, and understand our impact. Once we can measure, only then can we manage!"
–Julie Higgins, Sustainability Officer for Uniworld

We're Committed To Net Zero By 2050 Or Sooner
We conduct comprehensive measurements of our emissions in order to reduce and offset our carbon footprint, with the goal of reaching Net Zero carbon emissions by 2050. On our way, we’re supplementing our efforts by supporting third parties that remove the existing carbon in the atmosphere.
 

Reducing Food Waste Onboard
Food waste is one of the largest contributors to climate change, so we’ve partnered with a food waste management company, Leanpath, to reduce our carbon footprint. Their system measures how much food gets discarded after every meal onboard. With the precise measurements it will provide us, our chefs will have the data and confidence necessary to make the perfect amount of each dish.

Make Travel Matter® Experiences
We offer a selection of included MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experiences on our cruises. They are chosen for the positive environmental or social impact they have on the guests who experience them, and the people and places they visit, and they support one or more of the United Nation’s Global Goals.
 

Say Goodbye to Single-Use Plastics
It is estimated that an additional eight million tons of plastic pour into our oceans every year. According to a report by the World Economic Forum, if nothing is done to push back against the deluge of plastics currently overwhelming our oceans there could be more plastic in the oceans than fish by 2050.

We're banning more than 60 types of single-use plastics across all operations—including straws, water bottles, and plastic bags. It's all part of our commitment to ensure the environment remains vibrant for generations to come.

Donations
In Cambodia, Egypt, India, and Peru, we facilitate donations that help support local communities with much-needed supplies while providing our guests with a meaningful opportunity to leave a positive impact on the places they visit.
