Uniworld Boutique River Cruises has announced the upcoming debut of the S.S. Emilie, the newest addition to their award-winning Super Ship™ fleet, setting sail on the iconic Danube River in 2026. Inspired by the brilliance of Viennese painter Gustav Klimt and named after his beloved muse, Emilie Flöge, the ship is a celebration of art, elegance, and innovation.
The Danube River is a journey through history, culture, and breathtaking landscapes. With the S.S. Emilie, guests will experience this legendary waterway in unparalleled comfort and style, surrounded by design elements that pay homage to Vienna’s artistic heritage.
A Design Inspired by Art Nouveau
Every detail aboard the S.S. Emilie reflects Klimt’s signature style—dramatic hues, shimmering gold accents, and flowing Art Nouveau elements. From the moment guests step onboard, they’ll be immersed in a world of luxury and artistry. The ship’s boutique design features:

- Marble floors and tabletops
- Oak herringbone parquet
- Glass mosaic walls and beveled mirrors
- Silk curtains, mohair and velvet upholstery
- Custom-made carpets and stained-glass doors
