River vessel to be transformed into a luxury boutique super ship – S.S. Beatrice
Following an extensive bow-to-stern renovation, the new S.S. Beatrice promises intimate and bespoke cruising along the European waterways
The S.S. Beatrice will be unveiled next year as the newest ultra-luxurious super ship in the Uniworld Boutique River Cruise Collection.
Currently, the vessel is known as the River Beatrice and takes passengers on tours of Europe’s stunning Danube River, allowing guests to take in the picturesque cities of Budapest and Vienna.

In spring 2018, the River Beatrice will be transformed into the S.S. Beatrice after an extensive bow-to-stern renovation.
It will then join Uniworld’s super ship fleet, which includes the likes of the luxurious S.S Joie de Vivre, which was unveiled by Dame Joan Collins in May.

The renovation of the River Beatrice will include the redesigning of all public spaces and rooms.
The lounge will also be upgraded and an elegant grand staircase – a signature design element of all Uniworld’s super ships – will be added.
Additional dining venues will include a private space to replace the ship’s current captain’s lounge and library.
