It’s interesting to learn that a river boat series is building a new fleet. It also offers travelers another option when planning a future trip, besides keeping the sail market fresh and lively. So, we’re happy to learn that Uniworld Boutique River Cruises plans a fresh river fleet, Emilie, for Europe in 2026.

The new vessel will be a new build with interior design inspired by renowned Austrian painter Gustav Klimt, despite what we know little about ( as it has n’t been revealed yet ). The ship will be named Emilie Floge, his living partner and artist.
Ships that reflect some aspects of the cruising industry are renowned for their intricate interior designs, which Uniworld is known for. ” They’re absolutely not cookie cutter arteries”, says Shelby Steudle, leader, Pavlus Travel. ” Each fleet is distinctive”.
Thus, customers feel that they’re experiencing something unique. ” In contrast, Uniworld provides best- cut services, farm- to- table cuisine and customized excursions”, says Steudle.
Bottom line: Guests who float on the novel Emilie as well as the line’s various ships may expect a magnificent, all- equitable river cruising experience. On regular, Uniworld’s arteries carry an average of only 120 visitors.

” We’re thrilled to create a brand- new send to our ships in 2026, only in time to celebrate Uniworld’s 50th anniversary”, says Ellen Bettridge, Uniworld’s president and CEO. This remarkable novel vehicle confirms our commitment to providing the best and most magnificent boats on the river, and our commitment to excellence is unwavering.
Along with other ships operating on Western river, Emilie will be a Super Ship. Victoria did debut on the Rhine and Moselle this season before Emilie, and Elisabeth will debut on the Rhine in 2025.
By way of background, those were formerly nearly fresh Crystal Cruises arteries. They are currently being rented out by Uniworld from another valley company for at least three times.
Since 2020, Uniworld has even added five more Super Ships to its ship. The Mekong Jewel is located on the Mekong in Vietnam and Cambodia, along with Aria Amazon on the Maranon and Ucayali river in Peru, Sao Gabriel on the Portuguese Douro, La Venezia on the Italian Lagoon, and the Sphinx on the Nile in Egypt.
The column just made fresh Greece post-cruise extensions for its European river cruises. In a new website, The Meandering Traveler covered that growth.

Yes, Uniworld boats are river boat arteries, of course. However, the luxurious river range also refers to them as five-star floating boutique hotels that were created to represent the places in which they float.
Our collection truly represents the best of the best in the market, says Bettridge, and we believe in providing the highest level of quality to our customers. Uniworld informs us that more information about the new Emilie and its itinerary” may be forthcoming” in order to provide more information about the innovative Emilie.
Based in Los Angeles, California, Uniworld, a member of The Travel Corporation ( TTC ) family of companies, sails on 17 rivers in 26 countries worldwide. In Europe, the prestigious valley collection offers all-inclusive excursions. In contrast, Uniworld sails in Vietnam and Cambodia, as well as India, Peru and Egypt.

Again, Uniworld has n’t yet disclosed much about the new vessel, including the passenger count. However, we’ll keep you informed when more information is made available here on The Meandering Traveler.
