If a river cruise is on your wish list, 2028 is shaping up to be a wonderful year to go. Uniworld Boutique River Cruises has announced eight new itineraries for that year, with its fleet growing to 22 ships and new sailings planned along the Danube, the Rhine and the Mekong.
Three ships anchor the expansion: S.S. Helen will sail the Danube, S.S. Clara will launch on the Rhine, and Mekong Mystique will expand the line’s presence on the Mekong. The new routes range from short holiday sailings to truly epic journeys, so there is something here whether you have a week or a full month to travel.
At the grand end of the scale, a 30-day sailing from Amsterdam to the Black Sea traces the Rhine, Main and Danube through nine countries, while a 25-day journey from Prague to Bucharest focuses on the food, wine, art and culture of Eastern Europe. Shorter eight-day options explore the Netherlands and Belgium, the Christmas markets of the Moselle, and a winter holiday sailing on the Rhone between Arles and Lyon.
