Uniworld Opens Summer 2021 European River Cruises

Uniworld restarts and opens up their summer 2021 European River Cruises.

LOS ANGELES – May 20, 2021 – Uniworld Boutique River Cruises announces its first sailing dates for this year. The luxury river cruise company will resume cruising on June 20, 2021, debuting its most recently transformed Super Ship S.S. La Venezia in Italy. Cruises will restart in France shortly after Italy, with first departures for S.S. Bon Voyage on June 27^th, S.S. Joie de Vivre on July 4^th, and S.S. Catherine on July 11^th.  This announcement comes with the news that Italy and France will reopen their borders for American citizens in June.

“We’ve been waiting for this moment and are beyond thrilled to be back on the rivers, welcoming back our loyal guests on four of our most beautiful Super Ships this summer,” says Ellen Bettridge, President & CEO of Uniworld. “Our guests are like family to us, and their safety is our main priority, which is why we’re taking all of the necessary precautions to ensure they’re comfortable when they’re ready to explore the rivers with us again.”

Uniworld’s Milan, Venice & the Gems of Northern Italy itinerary, commencing June 18, 2021, in Milan, will be the line’s first cruise since the pandemic began. Guests will spend two days in Milan before traveling to Venice where they’ll board the completely reimagined S.S. La Venezia. Inspired by the work of celebrated Italian artist and textile designer Mariano Fortuny, this floating boutique hotel will feature the signature touches the company’s ships are known for – more suites, more dining areas with space for social distancing, and more luxurious finishes while maintaining their high crew to guest ratio.

“Restarting these itineraries is just the first step in getting all of our ships back on the rivers this year,” says Bettridge. “We have a lot to look forward to with the debut of the all-new S.S. Sphinx launching in Egypt Sept. 25, and we’ll also begin sailing the Peruvian Amazon Sept 1. with two new itineraries aboard the Aria Amazon.  Demand for river cruising is at an all-time high and the support and excitement we are receiving from both new and old guests is outstanding.”
