Uniworld Boutique River Cruise Collection shared a sneak peek of new Super Ship São Gabriel, set to debut in Portugal on April 9, 2020.

One of four Super Ships in 2020

It is one of four Super Ships for next year, including a renovated vessel, La Venezia (currently River Countess). The others are Sphinx and Mekong Jewel. This is part of Uniworld’s commitment to transform its entire fleet into Super Ships in the coming years.

São Gabriel passengers will experience the UNESCO-designated Douro River Valley on an 11-day ‘Portugal, Spain & The Douro River Valley’ itinerary from Lisbon to Porto that highlights Spanish and Portuguese culture and local cuisine.

Top deck of suites

São Gabriel will offer a top deck of all lavishly appointed suites enhanced with butler service, giving travelers the option to dine at any time.

‘We have been partnering with The Travel Corporation’s family brands since 2017 and this year we are delighted to partner with Uniworld Boutique River Cruise Collection to support the launch of their new Super Ship in Portugal,’ said Miguel Moraes, global trade marketing director at Visit Portugal.

‘Our strategy is to promote all the regions of our diverse country that can be visited year-round. The luxury traveler is a key target for us as they have the propensity to stay for longer and spend more while on holiday in Portugal and this partnership with Uniworld allows us to meet this objective.’
