Uniworld Boutique River Cruises is introducing new themed cruises for 2025, along with returning favorites. The newly developed offerings include a music-themed cruise and an all-inclusive golf package, as well as the brand’s first-ever women’s-only sailing, which will bring together women across generations to enjoy curated onboard activities, exclusive excursions, special guests and more.
New Themed Cruises and Packages
Uniworld is set to expand its themed cruise portfolio in 2025 with two new offerings, plus a new all-inclusive golf package:
- Women’s Cruise – Uniworld’s first-ever “Women’s Only Cruise” will set sail on August 24, 2025, on the “Burgundy and Provence” itinerary. This voyage will connect generations of women from across the globe, with excursions such as truffle hunting, onboard workshops led by local artisans and a bike ride to the Chartreuse. Guests can also look forward to lavender weaving, burlesque sessions, and a chocolate and wine pairing experience. Further details will be revealed soon, including brand partnerships, festive parties and special guests.
- Music Cruise – Uniworld will offer “Music of the Danube” sailings on August 3 and November 2 on the “Enchanting Danube” itinerary. Guests will be treated to an array of musically themed experiences, including a yodeling workshop, a “Sound of Music” tour in Salzburg, an organ concert at Abbey Durnstein and a Mozart and Strauss concert.
- Golf Package – Uniworld will introduce an all-inclusive “Premium Golf Package” as an add-on to the “Brilliant Bordeaux” itinerary. Available across six summer sailings, this package includes 18-hole rounds at Cabot Bordeaux and St. Emilion, a shared caddy service and gourmet dining, as well as beverages, surprise gifts, and more.
Returning Specialty Cruises
In addition, Uniworld is bringing back some of its specialty cruises with new dates in 2025. These include:
- Generations Collection – Uniworld’s family river cruises are ideal for multi-generational families with children aged four to 17 years old, are conveniently planned around school breaks, and will be offered on select itineraries in Europe along the Rhine and Danube Rivers in summer 2025, as well as Egypt in December 2025. "Generations Collection" sailings include an array of activities and amenities tailored specifically for children, like dessert-making sessions with the pastry chef, active and educational shore excursions, crafting workshops, local language classes and a VIP tour of the ship. The ships also have a young travelers’ lounge and game room, complete with a PlayStation, games, movies and local treats. These sailings have two family hosts on board, who organize kid-centric activities and arrange special dining options for young travelers.
- Out on the Rivers – This sailing will return in 2025, with an exclusive trip taking place on the “Classic Christmas Markets” itinerary, departing on December 8, 2025. Uniworld hosts annual sailings in Europe for the LGBTQ+ community. These sailings feature special programming such as LGBTQ+ performers, dance parties, themed events and more. In addition to amenities aboard the River Duchess, guests will experience Germany’s Christmas markets and fairytale villages.
- Jewish Heritage Sailings – These sailings will be offered on select sailings of both the “Delightful Danube & Prague” and the “Remarkable Rhine & Historic Holland” itineraries in 2025. Guests can expect visits to museums, memorials, synagogues and more. These itineraries focus on cross-cultural experiences, for both those exploring their roots and anyone seeking an immersive journey through a vital part of European history. Uniworld first launched its "Jewish Heritage Sailings" in 2017, which pay homage to the 2,000-year-old history of Jewish people in Europe.
