About Uniworld Boutique River Cruises
Uniworld is part of the Travel Corporation's luxury portfolio. Each Super Ship is individually designed by Bea Tollman, with custom murals, museum-quality antiques and one-of-a-kind suites. The line's all-inclusive fare covers gratuities, all dining, beverages, and a daily choice of excursions.
Today the line operates a fleet of 15 ships ranging from 82 to 159 guests. The newest vessel in service entered the fleet in 2024, while the oldest still sailing under the brand was launched in 1999.
The brand currently sails 7 distinct waterways. Each river demands a slightly different vessel — Rhine and Danube longships are typically 6 ships at roughly 135 metres in length, while the line's Douro, Loire, Mekong and Nile vessels are purpose-built for shallower waters and tighter lock chambers.
