Itinerary details

Arrives on: Sunday, 2 November 2025
Location: Amsterdam - Netherlands
Programme: Arrive at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. If your cruise package includes a group arrival transfer or if you have purchased a private arrival transfer, you will be greeted by a Uniworld representative and transferred to the ship.
Arrives on: Monday, 3 November 2025
Location: Cologne - Germany
Programme: History buffs will enjoy an expertly led tour through Cologne’s Old Town, where three medieval gates remain standing, as does the old city hall with its Renaissance façade. Wander through the city’s historical center and take in its charming atmosphere, narrow alleyways flanked by old houses, and countless breweries. No matter how you choose to explore Old Town, you’ll also have ample free time to explore on your own.
Arrives on: Tuesday, 4 November 2025
Location: Koblenz - Germany
Programme: Get to know Koblenz, a historic town with a colorful past and eclectic architecture, and enjoy a visit to the stunningly medieval Marksburg Castle.
Arrives on: Wednesday, 5 November 2025
Location: Boppard - Germany
Programme: Experience Germany’s fabled Rhine River in beautiful Rüdesheim. Enjoy a private tasting of estate-grown Rieslings at Castle Vollrads or explore Rüdesheim and the impressive Niederwald monument.
Arrives on: Thursday, 6 November 2025
Location: Germersheim - Germany
Programme: Speyer—“spire” in English—is well named, since the four red towers of the Romanesque cathedral dominate the Old Town.
Arrives on: Friday, 7 November 2025
Location: Strasbourg - France
Programme: See Strasbourg on foot with an insightful local expert, where this historic town with its cobbled lanes, half-timbered homes, giant stork nests, and impossible-to-resist pastry shops will win your heart. Kehl, directly across the river from Strasbourg, will be your ship’s base while you explore the Alsatian capital. If you’re feeling adventurous, take advantage of Uniworld’s bicycles or Nordic walking sticks and explore the banks of the river.
Arrives on: Saturday, 8 November 2025
Location: Breisach - Germany
Programme: Breisach is your gateway to the Alsatian wine road and your launching point for an excursion along the celebrated Route des Vins, which hugs the foothills of the Vosges mountain range.
Arrives on: Sunday, 9 November 2025
Location: Basel - Switzerland
Programme: Disembark the ship. If your cruise package includes a group departure transfer or if you have purchased a private departure transfer, you will be transferred to EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg for your flight home (unless, of course, you’ve decided to extend your trip with the post-cruise extension to lovely Lake Lucerne).

Adjoining staterooms are available; please inquire at the time of booking. While the S.S. Elisabeth is a beautiful and luxurious ship, its amenities may differ slightly from those of a Uniworld-company-owned ship.

Enjoy an Unrivaled Taste of your Destinations

When dining onboard, you’ll be treated to world-class cuisine made from fresh ingredients, locally sourced from the destinations you visit.

From Farm to Ship

Farm-to-table isn’t just a trendy culinary buzzword around here. It’s a governing philosophy and commitment to serving you the very best local dishes created by our master chefs. When in Italy, dinner may consist of Prosciutto di Parma pizza and Osso Buco Milanese, prepared to your liking, with meats and vegetables sourced from just miles away. After a day immersed in Indian culture, your taste buds may do some immersing of their own with Gajar Shorba and Tandoori Chicken Tikka for lunch. Live brilliantly. Dine locally. That’s our story and we’re sticking to it.

Creative Culinary Options

For those interested in healthier dining options, our Traveling Lite menu features all of the flavor of our traditional menu, but with fewer calories. We also offer a variety of vegetarian and vegan options, prepared just for you. If you have a specific meal preference, just ask. Our chefs will be happy to accommodate.

The One Thing More Stunning Than Stepping Onboard is Stepping Off

Every Uniworld cruise is meticulously crafted to be an experience you won’t find anywhere else, filled with moments that are each more breathtaking than the last. We’ve gone the extra mile to ensure our included and optional excursions immerse you in the authentic culture, sights and cuisine of the places you’ll visit.

Sip a glass of wine while you cruise past beautiful landscapes and world-famous landmarks on your way to your next destination...

Wanderlust Meets Wellness - onboard and onshore

All our cruises feature several options to get up, get going and stay fit, both onboard and onshore. Our seasoned wellness experts have an average tenure of ten years with Uniworld and continuously hone their craft with annual Ayurveda yoga and other trainings. They are there to lend their expertise to you.

ALL-INCLUSIVE FAMILY RIVER CRUISES

Every Uniworld Generations cruise includes special programs, events and excursions designed specifically for your world travellers in training.
