7 nights from £2,759 per person based on 2 sharing

Embark on an unforgettable eight-day journey along the Danube aboard the brand-new S.S. Emilie, launched in celebration of Uniworld’s 50th Anniversary. Inspired by Austrian painter Gustav Klimt and named after his muse, Emilie Flöge, this Super Ship welcomes guests with a breathtaking 20-foot replica of Klimt’s portrait of Emilie in its lobby. Your 2026 voyage blends Europe’s great capitals with hidden gems along the river, highlighted by exclusive experiences such as a private VIP evening at Vienna’s Belvedere Museum, home to Klimt’s The Kiss. From Belgrade’s buzzing café culture to Budapest’s soothing thermal baths and Vienna’s storied coffee houses, each stop offers a perfect harmony of culture, history, and discovery.
  • Your journey starts in Belgrade, where you can walk through Kalemegdan Fortress and see the junction of the Danube and Sava rivers. The city’s streets are a mix of Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian architecture, with cafés and local markets nearby. Then sail into Budapest, which offers a contrast with the grand Parliament Building, thermal baths such as Széchenyi, and riverside promenades.

  • As you continue upriver, Bratislava greets you with pastel-hued townhouses, hidden courtyards, and independent shops tucked into its compact Old Town. Above it all, Bratislava Castle keeps watch, offering sweeping views of the river you’ve just sailed in on.

  • Arriving in Vienna in the evening at the end of your cruise gives you a different perspective of the city. The Ringstrasse and St Stephen’s Cathedral are illuminated, and the State Opera House often hosts amazing performances at night. You can attend a concert, explore museums that remain open late, or enjoy a glass of wine in one of the city’s traditional wine taverns.

  • Your ship features modern river view staterooms with handcrafted Savoir® Beds, marble bathrooms, French balconies, plus suites and grand suites with butler service. Public spaces include a top deck with lounge seating and panoramic views, a spa for relaxation, a newly created private dining room aptly named the Gold Room, and a relaxing Brocode bar at the rear of the ship, offering views and an outside terrace.
