Uniworld’s S.S. Maria Theresa Images
The other week I wrote about Uniworld River Cruises unveiling images of their newest Super Ship, S.S. Maria Theresa. The pictures were released on Uniworld’s Facebook page.
But now Uniworld has issued an official press releasing announcing the images are now on their website. Why Uniworld couldn’t have released it all on one day is beyond me. I suppose there’s some intricate Search Engine Optimization that I don’t understand. I’m a bit bummed Uniworld hasn’t released an image of the exterior of the ship. Hopefully that will come soon. Most likely in yet another press release. Maybe they’ll unveil it on their Twitter account.
Anyway, in case you missed the release of the images on Facebook, and in case you missed my earlier article, here goes.
Uniworld Proudly Unveils Images of Their Super Ship, S.S. Maria Theresa
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.
Uniworld is still sticking to the two exact same photos but with artwork photoshopped in.
See? Now the artwork is gone.
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 river view 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.
I have to admit, I don’t tire of looking at these images. The ship is majestic.
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.
This image is new.
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.
