Uniworld Boutique River Cruise Collection has revealed pictures of its new ship, the S.S São Gabriel. She is set to debut on the Douro River in Portugal in April 2020.

She will be one of Uniworld’s new Super Ships, and these vessels have more suites, dining venues, luxurious finishes and a grand staircase.

The S.S. São Gabriel joins other new Super Ships – the S.S Sphinx, S.S Mekong Jewel and S.S La Venezia.

The S.S. São Gabriel is designed to reflect the Douro River Valley region through its décor and delectable food and wine. The entire top deck will have lavishly appointed suites enhanced with Butler service, giving guests the option to dine at any time they’d like while enjoying the ship.

Guests on S.S. São Gabriel will experience the UNESCO-designated Douro River Valley on the ship’s 11-day Portugal, Spain & The Douro Valley itinerary sailing from Lisbon to Porto.
