Built in celebration of Uniworld's 50th Anniversary, the S.S. Emilie is our newest member of our Super Ship fleet – and one of our most artistically expressive to date. Debuting on the Danube River in 2026 before expanding to other iconic European rivers from 2027, she marks a new chapter for Uniworld, where fine art, European heritage and contemporary river luxury come together effortlessly.
The story of the S.S. Emilie begins in Vienna at the turn of the 20th century, a time of artistic rebellion, decorative richness and modern thinking. Inspired by the work of Gustav Klimt, whose unmistakable style reshaped the art world, the ship is named in honour of his muse, Emilie Flöge. A pioneering designer in her own right, Flöge embodied creativity, confidence and individuality – qualities that feel intrinsically aligned with Uniworld's design philosophy.
Throughout the ship, this inspiration is expressed through mood and detail rather than literal interpretation. Dramatic colour palettes, flowing Art Nouveau forms and luminous accents of gold subtly echo the visual language of Klimt's most celebrated works. The result is an atmosphere that feels layered and expressive yet distinctly contemporary – elegant, immersive and unmistakably Uniworld.
When she begins sailing the Danube River in 2026, the S.S. Emilie will offer a refined perspective on some of Europe's most enchanting destinations. Imperial cities reveal their grandeur from the water, storybook riverside towns unfold at a gentler pace, and ever-changing landscapes are framed like living works of art through expansive windows. From 2027, this experience will extend to other legendary European rivers, allowing guests to explore even more of the continent in the same artfully designed surroundings.
Gratuities for onboard personnel (ship staff, crew, Cruise/Tour Manager) are included during the cruise/tour.
