Uniworld has launched three new luxury boutique cruise ships:

  • The S.S. Antoinette sails on the popular "Castles along the Rhine" itinerary. This ship builds on the success and popularity of the River Beatrice.
  • The Douro Spirit—the premiere ship on the Douro River—sails Portugal and Spain's spectacular UNESCO World Heritage-designated Douro River Valley, and every stateroom features a French balcony.
  • The River Victoria travels the "Imperial Waterways of Russia" itinerary with all staterooms on the top two decks having full balconies.

In addition, Uniworld has remodeled the River Ambassador, River Baroness, and River Princess for the 2011 season.
