River cruise line · 10 ships · sailing 1 regions — Ultra-luxury boutique river cruising where no two ships look alike.
An ultra-luxury, genuinely all-inclusive boutique river line at the very top of the market, part of The Travel Corporation and styled with the same lavish sensibility as sister brand Red Carnation Hotels. Rather than standardizing hulls, Uniworld designs each ship as a distinct, opulent environment filled with museum-quality antiques, one-of-a-kind art and bespoke interiors — no two vessels are alike.
Luxury travellers who want an intimate (roughly 120-160 guest), design-rich, fully all-inclusive experience with a very high crew-to-guest ratio and elaborate, eclectic decor. Less suited to travellers who prefer minimalist modern design or big-ship amenities, though 'Generations' departures cater to multigenerational families.
A small fleet of individually designed 'Super Ships' carrying roughly 120-160 guests each — among them S.S. Antoinette, S.S. Maria Theresa, S.S. Catherine, S.S. Beatrice, S.S. Joie de Vivre and S.S. La Venezia — each themed to its river or region with antiques and original artwork. Ships average about 130 guests and one of the highest crew ratios in river cruising.
The standout vessels in the fleet — and the amenities that set them apart.

Five-star, regionally driven farm-to-table cuisine across multiple venues; all meals and unlimited beverages — including fine wines, spirits and specialty coffees — are included in the fare.
Intimate and elegant — local musicians and cultural performances plus signature onboard spaces such as cinemas and speakeasy lounges, alongside enrichment lectures, rather than large production shows.
Primarily an adult-luxury line, but Uniworld runs dedicated 'Generations' family departures with tailored, kid-friendly activities on select sailings.
Genuinely all-inclusive: most shore excursions, all gratuities (onboard crew and local guides), unlimited drinks (fine wines, spirits and specialty coffees), Wi-Fi, airport transfers, bikes and self-service laundry are included.
