Launching in 2027, the S.S. Marlene will bring a new kind of glamour to Europe’s rivers. As the sister ship to the S.S. Emilie, she continues Uniworld’s next generation of Super Ship vessels, combining expressive design with an intimate, boutique-hotel feel. With space for just 154 guests, she will be among the most exclusive and luxurious ships sailing Europe’s waterways.
Inspired by the enduring allure of Marlene Dietrich, the S.S. Marlene channels the confidence, elegance and individuality that defined her as a global icon. Effortlessly bridging European cabaret and old Hollywood glamour, Dietrich’s unmistakable presence continues to influence fashion, film and culture – a spirit that is reimagined throughout the ship.
On board, guests can expect an atmosphere rich in mood and character. Dramatic contrasts, refined lighting and sumptuous textures evoke the glamour of a bygone era, while contemporary design ensures a sophisticated, modern feel. The result is a floating boutique hotel that feels expressive yet elegant, theatrical yet refined.
