Uniworld Boutique River Cruises has seen its first-ever Mystery Cruise – to be hosted by chief executive Ellen Bettridge – sell within 48 hours of announcement.
Not only that, but a second Mystery Cruise released just under a fortnight later also sold out, this time within just 24 hours.
The exclusive ten-day cruises depart on June 12th and September 23rd next year, respectively.
While both cruises will be sailing in Europe, neither itinerary has been offered by the brand before and the second Mystery cruise will travel to completely different destinations from the first Mystery offering.
Both will feature over-the-top, unique experiences both on and off the ship that have been curated by the Uniworld team, and all the details - including the destinations - will remain a surprise to guests until the last possible moment.

Uniworld is spicing up its offering with its first-ever ‘Mystery Cruise’ and triple discounts for 2022 group trips.
The boutique river cruise company has announced an exclusive, one-off, 10-day cruise hosted by its CEO and president, Ellen Bettridge, and curated by the Uniworld team.
Departing on 12 June 2022 in Europe, the trip will feature over-the-top, unique experiences both on and off the ship.
The catch? Passengers won’t know their itinerary until they are on board.
In the weeks leading up to departure, Uniworld will send those booked various clues as well as a packing list to prepare.
“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,” Bettridge said.
