Uniworld Boutique River Cruises will host its Golden Anniversary President’s Cruise onboard the new S.S. Emilie, departing October 23, 2026, on a brand-new Danube itinerary.

President and CEO Ellen Bettridge will host the exclusive sailing, which features special programming, activities, and surprises created for the one-time-only cruise celebrating the brand’s 50th anniversary, the company said in a press release.

“Traveling with our incredible guests is something I always look forward to, and hosting my 2026 President’s Cruise on our beautiful new S.S. Emilie makes it even more special,” Bettridge said.

“With our 50th anniversary ahead, this is an especially meaningful year for us. We’ll be setting sail on a brand-new Danube itinerary, complete with a few special moments, activities, and surprises to mark the occasion.”

The 10-day Vienna & Capital Cities of the Danube itinerary offers the chance to explore four capitals along the Danube. Following a hotel stay in Vienna, guests will sail to Budapest, Belgrade, and Bratislava.

The S.S. Emilie is Uniworld’s first new build in five years and accommodates 154 guests. The ship draws design inspiration from Austrian painter Gustav Klimt and is named after his muse and life partner, Emilie Flöge.

Prices for the sailing start at $7,249 per person.
