Magical Parisian Holiday

Combining the glamour of Paris with the enchantment of a European Christmas, this 8-day cruise on the Seine is the stuff of holiday dreams. Guests can feel like French nobility on private visits to countryside chateaux dressed in seasonal finery. Wander the rows of “chalets” at local Christmas markets, where vendors sell regional produce, vin chaud, and wintertime treats. Stay aboard the festively decked S.S. Joie de Vivre as you explore this unique side of northern French culture. One blogger shared, “The Christmas markets were a highlight, with their charming stalls and festive atmosphere. It truly felt like stepping into a winter wonderland.”

The S.S. Elisabeth

A new ship is ready to join the Uniworld fleet! Sister-ship to the S.S. Victoria, which debuted this year, the S.S. Elisabeth has a distinctive ambience of contemporary luxury. Guests will love features such as an indoor pool and sundeck bar. To sail the S.S. Elisabeth, join select Rhine River itineraries next year, such as Castles along the Rhine from Basel to Amsterdam. A blogger who experienced the S.S. Victoria noted, “The attention to detail and level of comfort on board were unmatched. Every moment felt like a luxury experience.”

Cruise & Rail: Istanbul to Paris

Linking two of the most romanticised cities on the planet in one glorious odyssey across Europe, this 15-day luxury adventure combines the Paris & Normandy river cruise with a journey aboard the nostalgic Golden Eagle Danube Express. Cities along the route include Champagne in France—with an included tasting of the eponymous product, of course—and Vienna in Austria. A travel blogger described their experience, “The combination of river cruising and rail travel offered the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure. It was a truly unique way to see Europe.”

Wine Roads of France & Portugal

This sailing combines guest favourite itineraries, Brilliant Bordeaux and Portugal, Spain & the Douro River Valley, to create the ultimate 18-day journey for wine connoisseurs. Embark on the quintessential voyage through two of Europe’s most revered wine regions, complete with plenty of wine tastings along the way. Engage with local winemakers, enjoy outdoor adventures in picturesque vineyards, and savour the regional gastronomy that pairs so seamlessly with decadent wines. As one blogger put it, “The wine tastings were exceptional, and the opportunity to meet local winemakers added a personal touch to the experience.”

Grand Italia

Explore three of Italy’s most vibrant cities—Milan, Venice, and Rome—and uncover hidden towns along the way on this 13-day adventure. Guests start in Milan to see da Vinci’s “The Last Supper,” then pause for an Amarone wine tasting en route to Venice. In Venice, enjoy a private visit to St. Mark’s Basilica on an exclusive Nights Out experience. Dock overnight in the colourful island of Burano, visit the quaint fishing port of Chioggia, and finish in Rome with a guided tour. A travel blogger shared, “Each city had its own charm and unique experiences. From art to cuisine, every aspect of the journey was meticulously planned and executed.”
