Uniworld Boutique River Cruises announced its first mystery cruise to be hosted by President and CEO Ellen Bettridge.

The 10-day Europe sailing will depart on June 12, 2022, on a new itinerary.

'Over-the-top experiences'

Uniworld said the mystery cruise will feature 'over-the-top, unique experiences both on and off the ship,' adding: 'This one-time only itinerary has never been offered by the brand before and has been carefully curated by the Uniworld team.'

'Our guests never cease to amaze us with their incredible support and loyalty,' Bettridge said. 'They put their faith in us time and time again, so we decided to have some fun creating a one-of-a-kind mystery cruise with all new experiences that have never been included in Uniworld journeys before. It’s an incredible bucket-list trip full of surprises for those that love the thrill of adventure, the biggest surprise being the itinerary reveal that will only happen when our guests are already on their way to the airport.'

Clues and a packing list

 In the weeks prior to departure, travelers booked on the mystery cruise will receive various clues and a packing list to prepare. Aside from the packing list, a few additional clues may be added to the website as the departure nears.

The all-inclusive mystery cruise is priced starting at $6,999 per person, including airfare.

'With vaccines rolling out and borders opening up, our guests have communicated that they’re willing to travel anywhere just to get back out there and explore the world once again,' Bettridge said. 'After this chaotic year, there’s no need to take on any additional stress, so we’ve taken care of all of the details so that our guests can sit back and enjoy this mystery trip of a lifetime.'
