S.S. Antoinette
Rhine & Amsterdam

Sailing the legendary Rhine River, S.S. Antoinette offers one of the most elegant ways to explore Central Europe. Her itineraries weave through some of the continent's most captivating scenery, from the vineyard-clad slopes of the Rhine Gorge and the storybook towns of Germany to Strasbourg's half-timbered streets and the grand cities of Switzerland and the Netherlands.

As Uniworld's first Super Ship, S.S. Antoinette was designed to reflect the grandeur of a French château. Brazilian marble, Venetian mirrors, original artwork and a spectacular Baccarat chandelier create a sense of timeless luxury, while elegant lounges and beautifully designed public spaces invite guests to relax and savour the journey.

Food and wine are central to life on board. The ship's elegant Restaurant de Versailles showcases cuisine inspired by the regions visited along the Rhine, with menus highlighting local flavours and seasonal ingredients. Each meal is thoughtfully paired with wines that celebrate the renowned wine-producing regions through which the ship sails.
