Uniworld will mark it 50th anniversary in 2026 with a number of exciting program additions, including the launch of three mystery cruises and a collection of special sailings designed for families.

Guests can choose to embark on a surprise adventure, with destinations revealed only once aboard. The April Mystery Cruise will also be part of the 50-night ‘Rivers of the World’ sailing, offering a once-in-a-lifetime voyage across three continents.

Meanwhile, the family-focused Generations Collection will offer a number of itineraries in 2026, including the Burgundy & Provence route. These departures will feature kid-friendly activities and amenities, catering to everyone from children to grandparents.

Another highlight of the 2026 program will be the debut of a brand-new ship, the S.S. Emilie. This 154-passenger ship is inspired by Austrian painter Gustav Klimt and named after his muse, Emilie Flöge. The S.S. Emilie will cruise the Danube River on eight different itineraries, bringing Klimt’s signature Art Nouveau style to life.

“The S.S. Emilie is truly a masterpiece, offering a unique and luxurious experience for our guests,” said Ellen Bettridge, President and CEO of Uniworld.

To celebrate its milestone anniversary, Uniworld is introducing the ‘Rivers of the World’ cruise, an exclusive 50-night adventure that will give travelers a first look at the S.S. Emilie. Starting in Brussels, this journey will take passengers to the Netherlands, France, Egypt, and Jordan, with special experiences like a visit to the Grand Egyptian Museum.

Uniworld will also expand its European offerings for 2026, including three new Danube itineraries on the S.S. Emilie, along with additional itineraries in Slovenia and Italy.
