Uniworld Boutique River Cruises is launching a 46-night Rivers of the World itinerary, cruising in 2023. The first of this type of cruise for the luxury line will take passengers to nine countries aboard five Super Ships, with both cruise and land elements included in the trip. 

 Ellen Bettridge, President and CEO of Uniworld Boutique River Cruises, said: “We’re so proud to announce the inaugural ‘Rivers of the World’ itinerary; our longest and most action-packed sailing to date spanning nine countries aboard five of our world-class Super Ships. It’s an itinerary like none other and a true holiday of a lifetime with surprises at every turn.”

After a launch celebration and stay in Cairo, clients will take a week-long cruise on the Nile aboard new vessel SS Sphinx. Two day stays in the Swiss Alps and Milan are followed by another week cruising the Venice Lagoon and Po River on the SS La Venezia. On the Danube, guests will sail on the S.S. Maria Theresa from Budapest to Passau; board the S.S.
