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.
