Note: This page will be updated as details become available about Uniworld’s newest ship.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In March 2017, Uniworld Boutique River Cruise Collection will introduce the S.S. Joie de Vivre to sail along France\u2019s historic Seine River. Uniworld\u2019s new ship will reflect the French \u201cjoy of living\u201d philosophy and the nation’s profound appreciation for food, wine, art and music.<\/p>\n

French inspired handcrafted furniture with rich fabrics, antiques, art, gilded and wrought-iron accents will mix with modern-day conveniences on board the new ship, which also\u00a0will feature Uniworld’s farm-to-table cuisine and superb local wines.<\/p>\n

The S.S. Joie de Vivre\u2019s Salon de Beaux-Arts lounge will showcase\u00a0a collection of fine art and antiques curated from auction houses, such as Sotheby\u2019s and Christie’s, as well as private collections. The Le Club l\u2019Esprit comes complete with a cinema and a surrounding pool with a hydraulic floor, which can turn into a dance floor or outdoor cinema at night. Dining venues include Le Restaurant Pigalle and La Cave de Vins, a vinoteque for private dining and wine-pairing dinners.<\/p>\n

S.S. Joie de Vivre Staterooms & Suites<\/h2>\n

The Joie de Vivre features two Royal Suites, eight Junior Suites, and 54 staterooms for a capacity of no more than 128 guests. Each suite will be designed with its own signature style and feature enhanced amenities and services, including butlers trained to the same exacting standard as those serving Buckingham Palace. All suites and staterooms have custom-made-to-order Savoir of England beds with unique headboards of various designs and marble bathrooms in various color-schemes.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis will be the most beautiful ship sailing the Seine and will provide every possible comfort for our guests,\u201d says Uniworld President Guy Young.<\/p>\n

The S.S. Joie de Vivre will sail Uniworld\u2019s popular \u201cParis & Normandy\u201d itinerary, and when in Paris, will dock in the heart of the city, Young adds. \u201cWe made the decision to build a 125-meter ship instead of 135 meters, so she can dock conveniently in the heart of Paris,\u201d he\u00a0says. Details as to where Uniworld’s new ship will dock will be provided in a future post here on River Cruise Advisor.<\/p>\n
