Uniworld Unveils Images of Their New Masterpiece, S.S. Maria Theresa


DELRAY BEACH, FL, March 13, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Uniworld Boutique River Cruise Collection proudly unveils images of their newest Super Ship, S.S. Maria Theresa, as a prelude to her highly-anticipated launch on March 26, 2015. Representing Uniworld's most ambitious ship to date, this floating palace on water is fashioned in the spirit of her great namesake, Empress Maria Theresa, with classical Baroque interiors, royal crown detailing, and a 10-foot high oil on canvas of Maria Theresa herself as the focal point of the ship's grand lobby.

Sister ship to the beautiful S.S. Antoinette and S.S. Catherine, two of the most luxurious vessels on Europe's waterways, the S.S. Maria Theresa will take guests to some of Europe's most remarkable destinations in impeccable style. Lavishly appointed riverview staterooms and suites feature open-air and French balconies on the Main and Upper Decks, uniquely-decorated rooms boast custom made-to-order English Savoir beds and marble bathrooms.

Uniworld's new majestic masterpiece, the S.S. Maria Theresa, will be christened in Amsterdam on March 26, 2015 by its godmother, Princess Anita von Hohenberg, a direct descendent of Maria Theresa and great-granddaughter of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and Duchess Sophie von Hohenberg. Uniworld's S.S. Maria Theresa will set sail on her inaugural voyage on March 28 on "Tulips & Windmills." She will also serve the line's popular "European Jewels," "Danube Holiday Markets," and "Enchanting Christmas & New Year's Cruise" itineraries.
