Uniworld Boutique River Cruises will soon be marking its 50th anniversary. To celebrate, the luxury river cruise line is launching a 50-night around-the-world journey for 2026.
On the “Rivers of the World” cruise, guests will have the opportunity to sail aboard five other vessels while sailing on multiple continents—including a special “Mystery Cruise” leg to secret destinations.
“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,” says Ellen Bettridge, president and chief executive officer of Uniworld Boutique River Cruises. “What was once a means of moving goods and services is now the best way for curious travelers to immerse themselves in the incredible places that only we can go.”
The trip departs April 16, 2026, from Brussels aboard the new ship S.S. Emilie. From there, guests will sail to Amsterdam before joining a popular “Mystery Cruise” leg on a surprise vessel.
Afterward, they’ll board the S.S. Joie de Vivre in Paris for a trip down the Seine River. They’ll take a first-class train to Lyon, board the S.S. Catherine and sail to Avignon. After stopping in Cassis, guests will fly to Cairo for a sailing along the Nile River aboard the S.S. Sphinx.
This itinerary is all-inclusive, so guests can enjoy farm-to-table cuisine, unlimited premium wine, beer and spirits, Wi-Fi, curated excursions, scheduled airport transfers, onboard gratuities and transportation between cruise segments. A dedicated traveling concierge will also join travelers for the entire journey.
