About the Uniworld Boutique River Cruise Collection S.S. Elisabeth

Joining our fleet in 2025, the S.S. Elisabeth, sister ship to the S.S. Victoria, exudes contemporary style with luxe velvet and marble accents, while original artwork adds a touch of Uniworld’s signature boutique style. The S.S. Elisabeth has the largest suites on the rivers of Europe, boasting two Royal Suites that offer an incredible 506 square feet each. Guests can even reserve the adjoining standard Suite next door to create a 759 square foot suite with two bedrooms connected by a separate living room. All the Suites and Signature French Balconies offer abundant space—much higher than standard—with ultra-comfortable, water-facing beds dressed in Uniworld’s fine custom linens.

The rest of the ship is equally stunning, featuring a relaxing pool, gym, and massage room. Guests can dine at their choice of three venues: a main dining room, a private venue for smaller groups, and even a sundeck bar.

Ports of Call

Nuremberg (Days 1, 2)

The second largest city in Bavaria, Nuremburg is filled with gothic churches and traditional half-timbered houses. Although nearly destroyed during World War II, the protective city walls still feature some of the ancient moats, tall watchtowers and grand gateways. Nuremberg was long known for its metal and toy craftsmanship, and the city's modern historical significance can be traced to its role as the location for the post-World War II war crimes trials of the Nazis at the Palace of Justice. These trials were immortalized in the 1961 film, Judgment at Nuremberg.
Attractions & Activities
Take a walk around the 13th-century city walls, complete with moats, watchtowers, and gateways.

Bamberg (Day 3)

Described as probably Germany's most beautiful city, Bamberg offers a treasure trove of Germany's finest art and examples of Europe's greatest architecture styles - Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque. Founded in 902, Bamberg remains a medieval-looking city known for its symphony orchestra and specialty "smoke" beer. Bamberg was also the first site in Germany of lithographic printing featuring movable type. The city's winding streets are filled with baroque patrician houses as well as the breathtaking 11th century cathedral of Holy Roman Emperor Heinrich II, which houses his tomb as well as that of Pope Clement II. Tour the 16th century Alt Residenz (Old Residence) and the 17th century Neue Residenz (New Residence), both of which were bishop's houses.

Kitzingen (Rothenburg) (Day 4)


Wurzburg (Days 4, 5)

Surrounded by Franconian vineyards, Wurzburg was heavily damaged during World War II, but has since been completely restored. Here is Germany's most pristine example of baroque architecture, the great Residenz, built in 1744 by the Prinz-Bishops. Its sweeping staircase and amazing ceiling frescos by Tiepolo survived wartime bombs. Other landmarks include the medieval statue-lined Main Bridge and the Marienberg fortress, originally a Celtic hill fort and later residence of the bishops. The round 8th century church within the courtyard of the fortress is one of Germany's oldest churches.

Wertheim (Day 6)

Situated at the confluence of the Main and Tauber Rivers, Wertheim is a charming town filled with history. In the 12th century, the Dukes of Wertheim built a castle at this strategic spot. The castle's impressive ruins are witness to the importance of the Dukes of Wertheim. Points of interest include the historical Pointed Tower that has guarded the junction of the Main and Tauber Rivers for 800 years, and the Town Hall built in 1540. Known as a successful merchants' town during the Middle Ages, today Wertheim is famous for its Franconian wines.

Frankfurt (Days 7, 8)

Frankfurt has a rich history dating back to the early Middle Ages. A city where Holy Roman emperors were crowned and the first German parliament assembled, Frankfurt is also the birthplace of Goethe and one of the joint capitals of Charlemagne´s empire.
Attractions & Activities
See the Cathedral where the coronation of German kings and emperors took place, and the 18th-century Church of St Paul.
