Uniworld has released the first images inside two of its new super ships, S.S. Audrey and S.S Marlene. Launching in 2027, cruise-lovers will be excited for their debut.
These ships follow the launch of S.S Emilie in 2026, with S.S Sao Rafael also debuting in 2027 to sail the Douro River in Portugal. This will complete Uniworld’s transition to an all ‘super ships’ fleet.

The S.S. Audrey
Uniworld’s new S.S. Audrey takes inspiration from Audrey Hepburn’s ‘timeless style’ and mid-20th-century European feel, sailing along the Rhine. With tones of green, gold and blue with vibrant details, geometric patterns and artistic tributes to the actress.
The layout features a small bar lounge at the stern of the ship, plus the ability to adjoin suites to create two-bed accommodation for larger groups. S.S. Audrey can hold up to 154 guests and features a range of lavishly appointed river-view staterooms and suites.
All feature cotton sateen sheets, European duvets, a marble bathroom with Asprey amenities, individual thermostat, flat-screen TV and gorgeous river views. In the Suite and Grand Suite, expect additional amenities and services like an in-suite butler, in-room breakfast, daily snacks, Nespresso machine, free laundry service and a fully stocked mini bar. Other facilities onboard include a Fitness Centre, Serenity River Spa, Sun Deck and a private dining area.
Audrey will begin sailing on 16 April 2027, with its inaugural departure on the ‘Remarkable Rhine & Historic Holland’ itinerary.
The S.S. Marlene
This ship also pays tribute to a famous star; the German-born actress and singer Marlene Dietrich. It presents striking features and again timeless beauty, like Marlene herself. Interiors blend warm tan and gold tones with dramatic accents of pink, red and blue.
S.S. Marlene also holds up to 154 guests and has similar facilities to the S.S. Audrey, with full details yet to be released. Sailing the waterways of Central Europe, the ship is sure to impress travellers with its distinct flair and style. Guests can also enjoy the fabulous staterooms and suites with similar amenities to the S.S. Audrey. But expect a totally different colourway and furnishings to really reflect Dietrich’s distinctive flair.
Marlene will begin sailing on 27 March 2027, first setting off on the ‘Tulips & Windmills’ itinerary.
