On Tuesday, Uniworld Boutique River Cruise Collection introduced the company's new ship, the S.S. Joie de Vivre, which will sail the Seine River in France.

The interiors of the suites and rooms will be designed by Uniworld's sister company, Red Carnation Hotels, and will highlight French-inspired decor that will help fully immerse guests in the Seine River experience.
In addition to fine art collections which will be found throughout the vessel, the S.S. Joie de Vivre will also feature a movie theater, pools and multiple restaurants, including Le Restaurant Pigalle and La Cave de Vins.
