Next year will be a big year for U River Cruises – formerly U by Uniworld. And the brand has detailed three new itineraries for 2020 on The B after its 2019 Seine River program was cancelled.

In April 2020, The B’s seven-night itineraries will visit Brussels, Dusseldorf, Salzburg, Bratislava as well as Vienna. There are more overnight stays, happy hour every evening and additional active excursions. And guests will have more free time to wander the cities on their own.

“Eastern Europe is hot and we’re excited to offer three brand-new U itineraries in the region for 2020 as The B rejoins our fleet,” said Ellen Bettridge, president and CEO of U River Cruises.

“U’s itineraries are created with active, social and culturally curious travellers in mind.”

The A will offer the new ‘Vienna Vibe’ and ‘Eastern Europe Escapes’ itineraries, while The B will have ‘Amsterdam & Brussels Bound’ sailings and an updated ‘Rolling on the Rhine’ itinerary.

There are also four seven-night itineraries and cruises can be combined to create 14-night voyages without repeating ports.

Here are some of the itineraries you can find next year with U River Cruises.
