UNIWORLD Boutique River Cruise Collection will introduce its new Super Ship, the SS Maria Theresa, in spring 2015.
Named after the archduchess of Austria and queen of Hungary and Bohemia, SS Maria Theresa will sail from Budapest to Amstersdam on Uniworld’s European Jewels tour, as well as the Tulips & Windmills, European Holiday Markets, and Grand Christmas & New Year’s cruises.
“We are delighted to name our new 2015 Super Ship after such a great historical figure as Maria Theresa who had a wonderful and long legacy,” said Guy Young, president of Uniworld.
“In addition, Maria Theresa was the mother of Marie Antoinette, so in the spirit of our award-winning ship, SS Antoinette, we are confident the SS Maria Theresa will be equally as magnificent,” he added.
The company’s SS Catherine, which plies the south of France’s Rhône and Saône rivers, was launched in March (TTG Asia e-Daily, March 31, 2014). “The SS Catherine has been sailing for a month, and we have received amazing feedback on the ship and its wonderful amenities from the first guests sailing onboard,” said Young.
To welcome the addition of the SS Maria Theresa to the Uniworld fleet, couples who pay in full at the time of booking will save up to US$1,800 on SS Maria Theresa’s all-inclusive itineraries. Bookings must be made by June 30.
