USA: Uniworld to Add Two New State-of-the-Art Luxury Ships to Its Fleet

Uniworld Boutique River Cruises will in 2014 add two new state-of-the-art luxury ships to its fleet. Providing a sneak peek into their two new state-of-art luxury boutique river cruise ships, the S.S. Alexandra and the S.S. Catherine, set to launch in Spring of 2014 will continue to elevate the standard in luxury river cruising.

S.S. Alexandra, the sister ship to the S.S. Antoinette, will sail along the Rhine, Main, and Danube rivers, and the S.S Catherine, fashioned after Uniworld’s River Royale, will sail in France. Sharing the same exquisite standards and meticulous attention to detail reflective throughout all of Uniworld’s fleet, these two new ships will be designed with the same elegant flair symbolized by the style used by Mrs. Beatrice Tollman, President and Founder of Red Carnation Hotels, Uniworld’s award-winning sister company, and her daughter Mrs. Antoinette Tollman, godmother, namesake, and lead designer to S.S. Antoinette.

“There is no doubt in my mind that both S.S. Alexandra and the S.S. Catherine will continue to set new luxury standards in river cruise ships in Europe,” states Guy Young, President of Uniworld.
