The River Duchess is decorated with soft touches of blue and green, paired perfectly with earth tones, to provide a tranquil and elegant space onboard. There is no shortage of spaces to enjoy the ever-changing views of the enchanting European waterways; these include the Blue Danube Lounge, Palace Restaurant, or La Motte Sky Lounge. Throughout the ship, you will also be able to find some vintage photography, which features many noteworthy figures from the 1950s and 1960s, such as James Dean, Elizabeth Taylor, and Marilyn Monroe.

The River Duchess offers a new level of elegance with its newly renovated interiors that mirror the beauty and sophistication of each of the destinations that she visits. Each stateroom and suite aboard is a haven of comfort and style, featuring handcrafted Savoir Beds of England, soft and cosy linens, and marble-lined bathrooms. Large windows in every cabin ensure that you will never miss a moment of the scenic beauty passing by.

  • Kids

    • Kids activities on the River Duchess

    Uniworld believes that most young children (especially those 4 and under) are simply not yet old enough to be able to truly enjoy river cruising. This means that there are no special arrangements for little ones, and there are few kid-friendly activities onboard or onshore.

    Uniworld offers their Generations Collection on select voyages.

    These sailings include two dedicated Uniworld Family Hosts (one for junior cruisers aged 4–12 and one for teen cruisers aged 13–17), a cooking class with the check, a ship tour with the captain or hotel manager, a children's menu, kid-friendly snacks, and games.
