UNIWORLD Boutique River Cruises has announced its largest fleet expansion to date, which will include three brand-new Super Ship-class vessels.
Audrey, Marlene (pictured), and Sao Rafael will be added to the fleet, in news foreshadowed by Cruise Weekly (CW 20 Aug).
The first two ships will join the cruise line’s fleet in 2027, showcasing interiors inspired by the screen legends they are named for: Audrey Hepburn and Marlene Dietrich.
They will be joined in 2027 by Sao Rafael, named after the flagship of Vasco da Gama’s armada on his first Indian voyage.
Also set to sail for Uniworld will be Aqua Expeditions’ Aqua Blu, which will operate newly announced expeditions in Indonesia (CW 15 Oct).
Additionally, there will be several new journeys across Europe and Asia, including Audrey’s ‘Paris, Prague & Germany’s Hidden Gems’ cruise – an 11-night itinerary that will blend stays in Paris and Prague with a voyage through the heart of Germany, along the Rhine and Moselle rivers.
A highlight aboard Marlene will be the 16-night ‘Grand Highlights of the Danube’ which will sail for 14 nights, with two days in Vienna at the end of the cruise.
“2027 will be landmark year for us at Uniworld as we introduce four remarkable new ships to our guests and a range of itineraries that blend cultural immersion, luxury and adventure,” President & CEO Ellen Bettridge said. MS
