Uniworld, the boutique river cruise company, is embracing innovation with the announcement of its exciting 2025 themed trips. This year, Uniworld is reintroducing popular itineraries alongside several innovative offerings, including a music-themed cruise, an all-inclusive golf package, and the brand’s first-ever women-only sailing.
“Travelers have demonstrated an increasing desire for more specialized and unique experiences, inspiring us to develop a wide range of new themed cruises for 2025,” said Ellen Bettridge, President and CEO of Uniworld. “From our first-ever cruise exclusively for women to luxurious, all-inclusive golf packages, we are expanding our portfolio to cater to various interests, passions, and communities, all while remaining deeply committed to delivering unforgettable experiences that exceed our guests’ expectations.”
The highlight of Uniworld’s offerings is its inaugural Women’s Only Cruise, set to sail on August 24, 2025, along the picturesque Burgundy and Provence itinerary. This special voyage aims to connect women from across the globe, featuring unique excursions such as truffle hunting, onboard workshops led by local artisans, and scenic bike rides to the Chartreuse. Guests will also have the opportunity to participate in lavender weaving, burlesque sessions, and indulge in a decadent chocolate and wine pairing experience, making it a memorable journey for all attendees.
For music enthusiasts, Uniworld is set to host exclusive Music of the Danube sailings on August 3 and November 2, 2025, aboard the Enchanting Danube itinerary. These cruises will immerse guests in an array of musically themed experiences, including a yodeling workshop, a captivating Sound of Music tour in Salzburg, an organ concert at Abbey Dürnstein, and an exclusive Mozart and Strauss concert, ensuring a harmonious experience throughout the journey.
Golf lovers will also find their niche with Uniworld’s introduction of an all-inclusive Premium Golf Package available as an add-on to the Brilliant Bordeaux itinerary. Offered across six summer sailings, this package includes 18-hole rounds at prestigious courses like Cabot Bordeaux and St. Emilion, along with shared caddy service, gourmet dining, beverages, surprise gifts, and more, making it a golfer’s paradise on the river.
While Uniworld is excited about its new offerings, it hasn’t forgotten its classic favorites. Popular themes such as Out On The Rivers trips, Jewish Heritage Sailings, and the Generations Collection remain available, particularly during school breaks on select itineraries in Europe along the Rhine and Danube rivers, as well as Egypt. The Generations Collection features an array of activities and amenities tailored for children, including dessert-making sessions with the pastry chef, active and educational shore excursions, crafting workshops, language classes, and VIP tours of the ship.
