Uniworld Boutique River Cruises is launching a new course within Uniworld University, giving travel advisors an early look at the brand’s 2026 and 2027 expansion plans.
Timed to coincide with Uniworld’s 50th anniversary, the updated training provides insight into upcoming Super Ships, new itineraries, Cruise & Tour launches and broader global expansion.
Advisors who complete the course receive exclusive advisor rates, CLIA certification credits, recognition as a Preferred Specialist on Uniworld’s website and an official Preferred Specialist badge.
Fleet Expansion: Five New Ships by 2027
As part of its growth strategy, Uniworld Boutique River Cruises will transition to a fully Super Ship fleet by 2027, beginning with the debut of the S.S. Emilie this March. Three additional Super Ships — the S.S. Audrey, S.S. Marlene and S.S. São Rafael — will follow in 2027, expanding capacity across key European river cruise markets.
Rounding out the expansion is the Aqua Blu, an expedition yacht operated in partnership with Aqua Expeditions, signaling Uniworld’s continued move into the luxury expedition cruise space.
50th Anniversary Programming and Cruise & Tour Launches
In 2026, Uniworld will celebrate its 50th anniversary with enhanced onboard programming, a “Golden Party” across European sailings and its third “Rivers of the World” cruise — a 50-night, three-continent sailing aboard the S.S. Emilie.
In 2027, the brand will expand its product portfolio with new “Cruise & Tour” itineraries developed in partnership with Luxury Gold. The programs combine Uniworld’s all-inclusive river cruising with small-group land journeys and luxury hotel stays.
