Uniworld Boutique River Cruises

Uniworld is the only river cruise line to design its ships using inspiration from the rivers they sail upon. With distinctive themes, colour palettes, custom-made fabrics, personally selected original artwork, sumptuous furnishings and antiques, each element, down to the smallest detail, has been thoughtfully considered and flawlessly rendered.

As a sister brand to the Red Carnation Hotel collection, each Uniworld ship has been designed to resemble the finest floating boutique hotel. There’s more to Uniworld’s fleet than the design; all of their Super Ships come complete with multiple dining venues, each serving locally inspired authentic cuisine, plus larger public spaces and enhanced suites and staterooms. The average capacity for a Uniworld ship is just 130 guests. While Uniworld’s fleet will never be the biggest, their goal is to provide the most luxurious ship on whichever river they sail on.

Personalised service for every guest

Unforgettable guest service is deep-rooted in Uniworld’s DNA.

It’s often the tiniest details that draw the brightest smiles, which is why Uniworld focuses on the ‘Tiny Noticeable Touches’. This might include staff 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. Plus, with one of the best staff-to-guest ratios on the river, each guest receives the crew’s full attention.

Each luxury floating boutique hotel brings your destination on board. Uniworld Boutique River Cruise Collection is modelled after its sister company, the five-star Red Carnation Hotel Collection. Red Carnation’s collection of boutique hotels is known for its destination-inspired interior décor, gracious service and carefully selected amenities.
