More About This Cruise

What to Expect

Cruise Features

Uniworld Boutique River Cruises S.S. La Venezia

Overview

The River Countess underwent a complete design renovation in 2020, debuting as the S.S. La Venezia to bring guests an enhanced luxury experience inspired by Northern Italy. The redesign of the S.S. La Venezia drew influence from the fine Fortuny fabrics displayed prominently onboard. Murano glass, gilded accents and artistic etched elements pay homage to popular Venetian aesthetics of the early 20th century, creating an onboard atmosphere that is at once elegant and nostalgic.

Dining

When dining onboard, you’ll be treated to world-class cuisine made from fresh ingredients, locally sourced from the destinations you visit.

Wellness

Start your day with sunrise yoga on the top deck, a TRX® Suspension Training class, or work out at your own pace in the well-equipped fitness centre. Then, relax at the Serenity River Spa™ with a soothing facial or massage treatment, or take a dip in the heated pool. For those interested in healthier dining options, the Travelling Lite menu features all the flavour of the traditional menu, but with fewer calories. Also offered is a variety of vegetarian and vegan options, prepared just for you. If you have a specific meal preference, just ask. The chefs will be happy to accommodate.
