Welcome Aboard S.S. Emilie — A New Standard in Boutique River Cruising
Set to debut in 2026, the S.S. Emilie becomes the newest jewel in Uniworld's renowned Super Ship™ fleet, paying graceful homage to elegance, art, and sustainability. Named in honour of the muse of Viennese artist Gustav Klimt, the ship brings his Art Nouveau aesthetic to life through rich colours, sophisticated design, and striking gold accents. Cruising primarily along the Danube, with select itineraries on the Rhine and Main/Moselle, the 135-metre vessel accommodates 154 guests and is staffed by a dedicated crew of 57, ensuring an intimate and impeccably serviced river-cruise experience.
From the moment you step aboard, the S.S. Emilie envelops you in refined elegance and relaxed sophistication, with interiors inspired by Art Nouveau and the legacy of Gustav Klimt, featuring rich textures, golden accents, and exquisite décor. Guests enjoy a fine dining experience that celebrates regional flavours through fresh, locally sourced ingredients and world-class cuisine, all served in a beautifully styled setting. Wellness-focused amenities—including a fitness centre, spa, inviting lounges, and atmospheric bars—offer the perfect retreat after a day of exploration. Throughout the journey, all-inclusive comfort ensures exceptional service, luxurious bedding and bath products, and thoughtful touches such as butler-provided shoeshines and in-room refreshments.
Uniworld has designated the S.S. Emilie as its most eco-aware vessel to date, incorporating advanced features such as an optimized fuel-efficient hull, engine after-treatment systems, heat-recovery technology, and battery-assist power to significantly reduce emissions and environmental impact. Through these innovations, the S.S. Emilie ushers in a new era of river cruising—one that pairs high-end luxury with a genuine commitment to sustainability and mindful travel.
Uniworld's newest Super Ship is purpose-built for modern luxury and comfort, blending glamorous design inspired by European art history with refined contemporary elegance. On board, guests enjoy spacious, beautifully appointed accommodations, from classic riverview staterooms to expansive Grand Suites with butler service, alongside all-inclusive amenities, gourmet dining, wellness facilities, and stylish communal spaces.
