S.S. BEATRICE
Uniworld Boutique River Cruise Collection News
The S.S. Beatrice is the first vessel in the fleet to be upgraded to a Super Ship. Guests can look forward to a newly refreshed design that includes a sleek yacht-style light wood with blue and white finishes throughout. Of course, you will see plenty of stylish furnishings and fixtures like the grand staircase, a white Murano chandelier and artwork from Pablo Picasso, Alexander Calder and Pino Signoretto.
At the beginning of April 2018, Uniworld Boutique River Cruise Collection launched its “super ship” S. S. Beatrice. The river cruise company completed a major refurbishment of the 430 foot long vessel that accommodates 156 guests and 53 staff.
Uniworld Boutique River Cruise Collection’s newest Super Ship, the S.S. Beatrice, set sail last week on her maiden voyage along the Danube from Budapest to Giurgiu, with a land extension in Bucharest.
“We’re thrilled to continue to offer guests the highest standard in river cruising with the debut of S.S. Beatrice,” said Ellen Bettridge, Uniworld CEO and President. “We’ve seen great success with all of our Super Ships and their level of luxury demonstrates the way forward for the brand. We’re excited to bring all of our ships up to this impeccable standard, with plans to upgrade the River Empress and River Royal to Super Ships in 2019.”
The S.S. Beatrice boasts yacht-style light wood with blue and white finishes throughout. Its renovated lobby features elegant mirrors, marble floors, a white Murano chandelier with blue shades, and a grand staircase made of nickel and black iron – a signature design element of Uniworld’s Super Ships. The ship’s redesigned lounge includes sofas and chairs with hand-made upholstery, a parquet floor and upholstered ceiling panels, solar shades, and new USB ports allowing guests to charge anywhere they are sitting. The artwork throughout the ship includes pieces from Pablo Picasso, Alexander Calder and Pino Signoretto.
The ship offers four dining options all inspired by famous Austrian composers, including Mozart’s, the ship’s main restaurant; Wolfgang’s bar and lounge and newly added Schubert’s and Max’s. For guests seeking an immersive culinary experience onboard the S.S Beatrice, Max’s restaurant offers intimate cooking classes where guests can create local European cuisines alongside the chef. Menu highlights at Max’s include broccoli cole slaw, regional Bohemian bread pudding dumplings and homemade apple strudel. Schubert’s, an 18-seat café located at the bow of the ship, offers guests shared plates from lunch through dinnertime. The cozy Austrian-styled eatery features menus reflecting the cuisine of the ship’s destinations, including brisket bouillon, Wiener Wurst with mustard, and an Austrian Kaiser Burger.
Additionally, the ship offers two new Grand Suites each measuring 310 square feet and a second 390 square foot Owner’s/Royal Suite. Connecting rooms, ideal for friends and families traveling together, have also been added. The S.S Beatrice sails on six itineraries to destinations including the Czech Republic, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Croatia, Romania, Bulgaria and Serbia.
