Uniworld Celebrates 50 Years with 50-Night Cruise

Uniworld plans to celebrate its 50th anniversary years in 2026 with a special 50-night “Rivers of the World” cruise that sails from Brussels to Amman that spans five Super Ship vessels and includes a mystery cruise experience component. It will be the third “Rivers of the World” cruise for the line.

“2026 is going to be a very special year for us at Uniworld, as we celebrate our 50-year journey of transforming the river cruise experience,” said Ellen Bettridge, president and CEO of Uniworld Boutique River Cruises. “We’re thrilled to kick off the start of our sailing season with our 50-night ‘Rivers of the World’ adventure that offers a chance to experience the gorgeous new S.S. Emilie, before taking our guests around the world for a trip like none other…”

The 50-night itinerary departs Brussels on April 16, 2026 onboard the line’s newest Super Ship, the Gustav Klimt-inspired S.S. Emilie, with the first segment ending in Amsterdam. Next, the group will join Uniworld’d Mystery Cruise, which will sail a one-of-a-kind itinerary to “secret destinations.” (All mystery cruises are completely unique and feature destinations and experiences that haven’t been offered by the brand before.”

After the Mystery Cruise, guests will board the S.S. Joie de Vivre in Paris for a sailing along the Seine, before traveling by train to Lyon where they’ll board the S.S. Catherine and sail to Avignon. A flight to Cairo brings guests to the final leg of their journey, during which they’ll head to Luxor to sail the Nile River onboard the S.S. Sphinx.

Fares for the 50-night Rivers of the World itinerary include all meals, unlimited drinks, Wi-Fi, curated excursions, scheduled airport transfers, transportation between cruise segments, and onboard gratuities.
