About S.S. Helen

Uniworld says the design will draw on classical antiquity and the Greek idea of philoxenia, or hospitality, with a calm Mediterranean look. The ship is to sail mainly on the Danube, including the 15-day Danube Grandeur from Belgrade to Nuremberg and new routes on the lower river to Bucharest, with some Rhine departures as well. It shares the S.S. Emilie layout of 77 staterooms. No first sailing date has been announced.
